Greeting :salute
first I want to say I love You


As we are the End-Times, the word is open to us, to understand the mystery that is now beginning to open, Revelation of Daniel and John let Jeremiah speak of the end-time church as we open this mystery focusing on the church in Smyrna, the church in Thyatira, the church in Pergamos, and where Satan's throne is?

In everything, there is a beginning
Revelation 2:8-9 (KJV) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation 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 of Satan.

what is the synagogue of Satan?
Revelation 2:18-20
"And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Who is the woman Jezebel?
Revelation 2:12-15
"And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:
I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, which thing I hate.
What the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of Balaam?

Revelation 2:13
I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Where is Satan's throne on earth?

John 14:30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
The ruler of this world?
1 Corinthians 2:6-8
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Satan has a Church, for I know if Satan is the prince of this world then there a place where he is worship

Ephesians 6:11-12
Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
What are principalities in this world, and high places?

on earth?

Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
Satan shows, Christ the world as his kingdom
John 18:36
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

Christ said, My kingdom is not of this world.

but in the end how does Christ conquerors, the Satan Kingdom?

This what Christ is saying to us
1 Corinthians 3:2-3
I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

Hebrews 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
I need solid food, not milk for I am a full adult :study

Rev 2:8-11 Church of Smyrna

Smyrna make it known to you that I am Christ whom was crucified, dead and buried and as I have suffered for your sake so will you suffer for mine, Romans 8:17; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Philippians 1:9. You may be poor in the material things of this world, but you are rich in my word as you keep my commands and the testimony of my word. Many among you say they are mine, but yet deceived as they are of their father the devil even if they are unaware that they are.

Fear none of those persecutions that will come against you, especially during the time of Gods final wrath upon the earth for whoever loves his own life will lose eternal life with the Father, John 12:25. Jesus will give us a crown of life, which is life eternal with the Father if we are faithful to him until his that great and terrible day of the Lords return. The second death is those who have no eternal life and will be cast into the lake of fire, Revelation 20:6; 21:8.

Rev 2:12-17 Church of Pergamos

The sharp sword with the two edges is spoken of again as a warning of instruction to the church in Pergamos. They never denied their faith in the Lord even as their brother before them whose name was Antipas that never denied his faith when he was killed for the sake of the word of God. Wherever there is a martyr for the sake of the Lord it is Satan that guides the hand of the persecutor. Pergamos has allowed the false teachings of the Nicolaitan to enter their church by giving a seat to Satan to cause a stumbling block to those who lack knowledge so they would fall away from their faith as they are seduced by the spirit of Jezebel.

They are told to repent of this or else the word of God will judge them and find them guilty. If they overcome that which they have allowed to enter in and cast it out of the church they will be given truth of the word of God as they are given a white stone, meaning the Spirit’s witness which no man can know unless they have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that teaches us all truths, John 14:17, 26.

Rev 2:18-29 Church of Thyatira

Jesus is relaying a message to his Church that there will be a greater need more than ever as Gods final wrath moves over the world. The Church, those who are in Christ and he in them, are here to preach salvation to those who have yet to repent until that door of salvation is closed when Jesus returns for His Bride.

Here again we see a warning against this Jezebel spirit teaching in the church. She is the type of paganism that has crept into the Church and causes a great falling away with her doctrines of Satan, 2 Thessalonians 2:3. God gave Jezebel time to repent, but she never did so God cast her into a metaphoric bed like a whore waiting to seduce those who come to lay with her as they continue to promote her pagan religious ideas. Later in the revelations we will see her being called the great whore of Babylon as she is a harlot who has lead Israel astray as Gods chosen people, but yet even they are given time to repent.

God said that he will kill her children meaning those who promote paganism in the Church that when they fall others will realize that God is the one who judges the intents of the heart. We will be judged by our works whether they be good or evil as only God knows those who are his own.

Jesus relays again to the Church that he will put no more burdens or in another word judgments on those who have never been seduced by these false doctrines as they continue in all truths of the Gospel and overcome that of Satan by maintaining their good works he will give them power over the nations as we will rule them with a rod of iron meaning we are the vessels God works through and as Jesus was made to die by the hands of the accusers so will we be like Jesus in times of great persecutions against the Church. We will receive that morning star, which is Jesus, when he comes in the clouds and we are taken up to him to be with the Lord forever.

You can study about Jezebel and how Israel lost the right to be Gods chosen people as her spirit still enters the house of the Lord to lead many astray from truth as those without Spiritual knowledge will reconcile what they hear with a carnal mind, 1 Kings Chapters 9, 16-19, 21.
