of God's fullness (seven churches, seals, trumpets, angels, ulcers, fixtures).
The
seven churches represent the true Christians of Christ till the end (Rev 1.3-7).
The
names of churches:
-
EPHESUS (desired) - 1st century
Christians (31-100); Lord chides them
for what they left first love and advises to repent (Rev 2.1-7).
-
SMYRNA (fragrance) - Christians during the persecutions (100-313);
they were “poor, but all rich", they did not take false Jews, which is a satanic
and suffered persecution "ten days", that is 10 years (303-313) (v.8-11).
-
PERGAM (elevation) - Christianity became the State religion
(313-538). They lived there, where Satan's throne, but were resisted by the
Pope and have undergone the torment, but some of them were holding the doctrine
of Balaam, i.e. Pagans (v.12-17).
-
THYATIRA (rest of sacrifice) - the Inquisition (538-1798). God condemns them for their admission of
Jezebel (Catholic priests) to teach in it. The Lord also praises them for their
“love, devotion and patience" (v.18-29).
-
SARDIS (joyful singing) - start of freedom time (1798-1831). Lord
accuses the Protestants that are named "alive but dead" (Rev 3.1-6).
-
PHILADELPHIA (brotherly love) - the birth of Adventism and waiting of the
second coming (1831-1844). They said: "hold that fast which thou
hast" until the Lord will come (v.7-13).
-
LAODICEA (the court of the people) - the period from the start of the trial before
the second coming (1844-?). The Lord reveals the Laodicea that she is
"warm" (not cold and not hot) and devoid of true spiritual life. Here Christ said: "So speaks Amen",
which indicates the approximate end of the world (v.14-22).
