Presented by: His servant Carol Drasher
These letters not only show the issues and things these
churches faced, both good and bad, in their day, but also show us what God
expects of His church here in this present day, and what he gives to those who
are steadfast and OVERCOMERS.
These letters are things spoken by Jesus himself and are
noted in red.
Father Yahuah, I pray that whoever reads these letters that
you have given, that your Holy Spirit will open their Spiritual eyes and ears
as they read, and you will bless them with wisdom, knowledge, and
understanding.
The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
He
sent and signified it by his angel (messenger) unto his servant John.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear
the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:
FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND
Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,
and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds (races) of the earth shall mourn
because of him. Even so, Amen.
John on the Isle of Patmos
I was in the Spirit
on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying,
I am Alpha and Omega, the first and Last: and what thou seest, write
in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia:
Unto Eph’-e-sus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Per’-ga-mos, and unto
Thy-a-ti’-ra, and unto Philadelphia, and unto La-od-i-ce’-a.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks: and in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the
foot, and girt about the paps (chest) with a golden girdle (band).
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as
snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned (refined) in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters (like rain).
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance as the sun shineth in
his strength.
“fear not; I am the first and the last: dead; and, behold, I am
alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell (hades) and of death.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are,
and the things which shall be hereafter;
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven golden candlesticks (candlestands).
The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churches: and
the seven candlesticks (candlestands),
which thou sawest are the seven churches.Message to the Church of Ephesus
Unto the
Angel (messenger) of the church of Eph’-e-sus write;
These things
saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the
midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
I know thy
work, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear
(endure) them which are evil: and thou
hast tried (tested) them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:
And hast
borne (persevered), and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured,
and hast not fainted (become weary).
Nevertheless
I have against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first work; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove the candlestick out of his
place, except (unless) thou repent.
But this thou
hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nic-o-la’-I-tanes, which I also hate.
He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
Message
to the Church of Smyrna
And unto the
angel (messenger) of the church of Smyrna write; these things sayeth the first
and last, which was dead, and is alive;
I know thy
works, and tribulations, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue
(congregation) of Satan.
Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you
into prison, that ye may be tried (tested); and ye shall have tribulation ten
days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Message
to the Church of Pergamos
And to the
angel (messenger) of the church of Per’-ga-mos write;
These things
saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
I know thy
works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat (throne) is: and thou
holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein
Antipas St. Antipas) was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where
Satan dwelleth.
But I have a
few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast (put an enticement) a stumblingblock before
the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit
fornication (sexual immorality).
So hast thou
also them that hold the doctrine of the Nic-o-la’-I-tanes, which thing I hate
Repent; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword
of my mouth.
Message
to the Church of Thyatira
And unto the
angel of the church in Thy-a-ti’-ra write; These things saith the Son of God,
who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass;
I know thy
works, and charity (love), and service, and faith, and thy patience
(endurance), and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Notwithstanding
I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest (you allow) that woman
Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce (beguile)
my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
And I gave
her space (time) to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Behold, I
will cast her into a bed (sickbed), and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except (unless) they repent of their deeds.
And I will
kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he
which searcheth the reins (minds) and hearts: and I will give unto every one of
you according to your works.
But unto you
I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine
(teaching), and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will
put upon you none other burden.
But that
which ye have already hold fast till I come.
And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over
the nations:
AND HE SHALL
RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL THEY BE BROKEN
TO SHIVERS: even as I received of my Father.
And I will
give him the morning star.
Message
to the Church of Sardis
And to the
angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things
saith he that is holy, he that is true,
HE THAT HATH
THE KEY OF DAVID, HE THAT OPENETH, AND NO MAN SHUTTETH; AND SHUTTETH, AND NO
MAN OPENETH;
I know thy
works: behold, I have set before thee and open door, and no man can shut it:
for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name.
Behold, I
will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,
but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and
to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou
hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon
the earth.
Behold, I
come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that
overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no
more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Message
to the Church of Laodicea
And unto the
the angel of the church of the la-od-i-ce’ write;
These things
saith the amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of
God;
I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would (wish) thou were cold or
hot.
So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue (spit or
vomit) you out of my mouth.
Because thou
sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and
naked:
I counsel
thee to buy of me gold tried (refined) in the fire, that thou mayest be rich;
and white raiment (garments), that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame
of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou
mayest see.
As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup (dine) with him, and he with me.
To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his throne,
