In Scripture God’s people and his church are described as being “one”. Therefore the multiplicity of church identities are false, because God only intended one Church.
Numerous times in scripture, a prophetic 1,260 day period of time is designated. And this particular period of time, always designates a dark time in the history of God’s people, where there is a great spiritual decline amongst many in leadership, and amongst the people in general. And because of this spiritual corruption that moves … Read more
“Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelations 2:5) What will happen if the candlestick is removed from the temple of the Lord – meaning that it is … Read more

The messages to the seven churches are spiritual messages to everyone of every age of time.

“And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.” (Revelation 2:21) The “her” that Jesus gave “space to repent of fornication” was that false Christian spiritual condition (Jezebel).

“Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.” (Revelation 2:22) Jesus casts the false church organization “into a bed” of spiritual harlotry.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:22 Has your church been listening? Or another way to say it: has your ministry and the people been listening?

In the previous article we saw God’s two anointed witnesses: the Word of God and the Spirit of God, be totally disrespected by the spirit of hypocrisy.

“…and saw a beast rise up out of the sea… “ ~ Revelation 13:1 Why is the symbol of a beast used in Revelation? Man without the grace and help of the Almighty is no better than a beast. And so God chooses to use a beast in Revelation chapter 13 to describe how low … Read more

In the Old Testament Babylon was divided into two parts when it was destroyed. In the New Testament she is divided into three parts before being destroyed.

In previous posts I have thoroughly described how that the beasts of Revelation represent the collective body of people who are still living fleshly carnal lives of sin.

Earlier in Revelation the 17th chapter, the fake-Christian spirit of the unfaithful harlot Babylon was shown to be sitting upon the waters and upon the beast.
