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.
“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
As already noted in earlier posts, the message to each of the seven churches also represents a spiritual message to everyone in 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

I have also covered this subject in numerous posts earlier about the beasts of Revelation. What is the mark of the Beast 666?

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.

Then he … Read more

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.

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.” ~ Revelation 18:1 The world “angel” in the original means messenger sent from God.

Note: this chapter and other parts of Revelation, show us a picture of a worship service.
