Revelation 3
3:1 And unto [To] the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith He [Jesus Christ] that hath [Has] the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; [The angels of the seven churches, Yahveh’s [God’s] messengers.] I know thy [Your] works, that thou [You] hast [Have] a name that thou [You] livest, [Live] and art [Are] dead.
[The name was the mother of all God’s]
[Actually they are spiritually dead.]
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: [That are ready to die spiritually.] for I have not found thy [Your] works perfect [Mature] before God.
[In other words their works are not acceptable to Yahveh.]
3 Remember therefore how thou [You] hast [Have] received and heard, [In other words remember Yahveh’s [God’s] word.] and hold fast, [Onto it] and repent. [In other words repent of the things you have done against Me.] If therefore thou [You] shalt [Shall] not watch, [Watch what you are doing and repent.] I will come on thee [You] as a thief, and thou [You] shalt [Shall] not know what hour I will come upon thee. [You]
[In other words you will not know the hour satan will appear, the five month period of temptation and tribulation of the anti [Instead of] Christ satan, and the hour [The time period] Jesus Christ will return.]
4 Thou [You] hast [Have] a few names [People, souls] even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; [In other words they were righteous people who put Yahveh [God] first in their lives. They studied His word, and did His will to the best of their ability.] and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.
[As written in Revelation 19:8 fine white fine linen is the righteousness of saints. People, souls who are righteous in the eyes of Jesus Christ will walk with Him, and they will be dressed in fine white linen.]
[They are worthy because they put Yahveh [God] first in their life by doing His will. They overcame satan.]
5 He that overcometh, [People who overcome satan by putting Yahveh [God] first in their lives by doing His will.] the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, [The book of life is the book of eternal life. If your name is not in it you will not have eternal life.] [Yahveh [God] judges individually. Your works [Righteousness] and what is in your mind that counts.] but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.
[Jesus Christ confessed His elect in St. John Chapter 17. St. John Chapter 17 is the real Lords Prayer. Yahveh’s [God’s] elect are people [Souls] who put Yahveh/Jesus Christ first in their lives by doing His will.]
[Being righteous is doing what is right according to Yahveh [God] and/or for Yahveh.]
6 He that hath [Has] an ear, [To hear] let him hear [With understanding] what the Spirit [The Spirit of Yahveh, the Holy Spirit] saith [Says] unto [To] the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia [The Church of brotherly love.] write; These things saith He [Jesus Christ] that is holy, He that is true, He that hath [Has] the key of David, [The key of David is knowing who you are, knowing that Jesus Christ is the offspring of David, and knowing Yahveh’s [God’s] word.] He [Jesus Christ] that openeth, [He that opens Yahveh’s [God’s] word.] and no man shutteth; [In other words if Jesus Christ gives you His word no man or woman can take it away from you.] and shutteth, and no man [Or woman] openeth;
[In other words if Jesus Christ doesn’t want you to understand His word you will not understand it.]
8 I know thy [Your] works: behold, I have set before thee [You] an open door, [The open door is Yahveh’s [God’s] word, access to Yahveh,[God] and the opportunity to spread the good news about our Lord Jesus Christ.] and no man [Or woman] can shut it: [No man or woman can take it away from you.] for thou [You] hast [Have] a little strength, and hast [Have] kept My word, [The word is the King James bible. You did not listen to and follow the false doctrine of man.] and hast [Have] not denied My name.
[In other words you haven’t followed the doctrine of the anti [Instead of] Christ, the false messiah satan, you have stayed in Yahveh’s [God’s] word.]
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue [Church] of Satan, which say they are Jews, [Which say they are of the tribe of Judah.] and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy [Your] feet, and to know that I have loved thee.[You]
[They will worship before your feet because the people of the church of Smyrna and the church of Philadelphia are at the feet of Jesus Christ and on the first day of the millennium every knee will bow to our Lord Jesus Christ. People of the synagogue [Church] of satan will also be worshiping Jesus Christ.]
[Jesus Christ loves people that put Him first in their lives by doing His will and obeying Him, people that love Him.]
[This church is similar to the church of Smyrna. The will of Yahveh [God] is for you to put Him first in your life, study His word, and obey Him to the best of your ability. We are not perfect, we are mature but we never will be perfect as Jesus Christ is. We are all sinners.
Jesus Christ shed His blood and died on the cross for you so you could repent of your sin’s and be forgiven. Jesus Christ gave you a new commandment in the New Testament. The new commandment was that you repent of your sins and ask Yahveh [God] for forgiveness in His name. IF you, [The if here is conditional] are sincerely putting Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will to the best of your ability [We are not perfect] and repent of your sin He will forgive you of your sin. IF you are not putting him first in your life He will not forgive you. He will hear your prayers but He most likely will not answer them.]
[The people of the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia were doing Yahveh’s [God’s] will. They were obeying him, and learning His word. Because of this they are loved by our Lord Jesus Christ and He finds no fault with them. If the church you go to doesn’t teach you about the synagogue [Church] of satan most likely you will be deceived by the anti [Instead of] Christ] satan. The churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia are the only two churches of the seven that taught about the synagogue [Church] of satan. They also were the only two churches of the seven Jesus Christ was pleased with.
Let’s do a study on the synagogue [Church] of satan. Let’s go to St. Matthew 13:34 for starters. We are going to cover verses thirty four thru forty three. They are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.]
St. Matthew 13:34-43
34 All these things spake [Spoke] Jesus unto [To] the multitude [A large number of people] in parables; and without a parable a parable spake [Spoke] he not to them:
[A parable is a comparable fictitious narrative, story.]
35 That it might be fulfilled [There was a purpose for it.] which was spoken by the prophet, [It was spoken of by the prophet in Psalms 78:2] saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
[Foundation meaning from the overthrow of satan.]
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude [Crowd] away, and went into the house: and His disciples [Serious students] came unto [To] him, saying, Declare unto [To] us the parable of the tares [False grain] of the field.
[His disciples didn’t understand the parable He had just declared to the crowd.]
37 He answered and said unto [To] them, [He explains it here] He that soweth [Sows] the good seed [In the field] is the Son of man;
[The son of man is our Lord Jesus Christ who was Yahveh [God] with us in a flesh body.]
38 The field is the world; [The seed was sown in the world.] the good seed are the children of the kingdom; [The children of the Kingdom of Yahveh.] but the tares [The false grain] are the children of the wicked one;
[The wicked one is satan. The tares are the offspring of satan and Eve from their affair in the Garden of Eden. Cain was the offspring of satan and Eve from their affair in the Garden of Eden. Kenites meaning sons of Cain. In Genesis 3:15 the first prophecy in the Bible, we are told about the different seed. One was of the serpent [satan] and one was of the woman. Let’s document this by going to St. John 8:44 where Jesus Christ is talking to the Kenites.]
St. John 8:44
44 Ye [You] are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father [satan] ye [You] will do. He [Cain, child of the devil.] was a murderer from the beginning, [Cain was the first murderer] and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
[Let’s return to Revelation 3:10.]
10 Because thou [Anyone who] hast [Has] kept the word of My patience, [The word of Yahveh.] I also will keep thee [You] from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
[The hour of temptation is the five month period when satan will be on this earth just before Jesus Christ returns. It is written of in Revelation 17:12. In other words you will not be tempted to follow satan during that five month period.]
[It will be a trial to other people but not to you because you that know Yahveh’s [God’s] word and will not be tempted by satan.]
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou [You] hast, [Have] [In other words hold onto Yahveh’s [God’s] word, and your good works.] that no man take thy [Your] crown. [Symbol of Honor]
[In other words don’t let a man or woman disguised as a Christian preacher lead you astray by deceiving you in to believing things that are not in Yahveh’s [God’s] word.]
[If you are deceived into believing in the rapture/fly away doctrine of some churches you will not be raised up in the first resurrection. Some so called preachers use verse ten to support their rapture theory. Don’t believe it. In St. Mark 13:23 Jesus Christ said behold I have foretold you all things. No where in the Bible did Jesus Christ say Christians are going to fly out of here before the tribulation of the anti [Instead of] Christ satan. Before satan appears on earth.]
12 Him [He or she] that overcometh [Overcomes satan] will I make a pillar [Support] in the temple of My God, and he [Or she] 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.
[This will happen after The Great White Throne Judgment.]
[New Jerusalem is written of in Revelation chapter twenty one.]
13 He that hath [Has] an ear, [An ear to hear with understanding] let him hear [Understand] what the Spirit [The Holy Spirit] saith [said] unto [To] the churches.
14 And unto [To] the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith Says] the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
[Jesus Christ was there.]
15 I know thy [Your] works, that thou [You] art [Are] neither cold nor hot: I would thou [You] wert [Were] cold or hot.
[In other words I would rather see you being cold or hot.]
16 So then because thou [You] art [Are] lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue [Vomit] thee [You] out of My mouth.
[Actually the Laodiceans didn’t teach Yahveh’s [God’s] word. They didn’t do anything to help Yahveh’s [God’s] people to be over comers of the anti [Instead of] Christ satan. They didn’t do anything for Yahveh.
Jesus Christ came to earth to be crucified so that He could save His children. Save His children meaning to give His children eternal life. This church was no help to him.]
17 Because thou [You] sayest, [Say] I am rich, [By Boasting I’m saved] and increased with goods, [The material things of this earth age.] and have need of nothing; and knowest not [Don’t know] that thou [You] art [Are] wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
[In other words you turned away from Yahveh’s [God’s] word and have no good works. There is no righteousness within you and you will have nothing when your flesh body dies and you return to Heaven in a spiritual body, and you will be wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind.
[Blind meaning you don’t know and understand Yahveh’s [God’s] word.]
18 I counsel [Advise] thee [You] to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, [In other words I advise you to do My will, learn My word, and be a doer of My word] that thou [You] mayest [May] be rich; and white raiment, [Your righteous acts constitute what you will be wearing in Heaven. Fine white linen is the righteousness of saints as written in Revelation 19:8.] that thou [You] mayest [May] be clothed, and that the shame of thy [Your] nakedness do [Does] not appear; and anoint thine eyes [Your Spiritual eyes] with eyesalve, [Wisdom and knowledge in Yahveh’s [God’s] word] that thou [You] mayest [May] see.
[So that you can see the truth of Yahveh’s [God’s] word, and become a doer of His word by putting Jesus Christ first in your life by doing His will.]
[IF you sincerely pray for wisdom and knowledge in Yahveh’s [God’s] word He will more then likely open your eyes so you can understand His word.]
19 As many as I love, I rebuke [Admonish] and chasten: [Discipline] [He will keep you straightened out.] be zealous therefore, [Zealous meaning work at doing good works for Yahveh.] and repent.
[Repent meaning to turn away from the things you are doing against Yahveh’s [God’s] law and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ. Yahveh’s will is for you to be a doer of His word.]
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: [This is a call to the wedding as written in St. Luke 12:35-38.] if any man [Man or woman] hear My voice, and open the door, [You have to open the door, you have to want to be there.] I will come in to him, and will sup with him, [He will partake of the word with you.] and he with Me.
[Yahveh/Jesus Christ is here for you. All you have to do is sincerely invite Him into your life.]
21 To him [Or her] that overcometh [In other words whosoever overcomes satan and puts Me first in their lives by doing My will] will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, [Jesus Christ overcame satan.] and am set down with My Father in His throne.
[In Ezekiel 44:28 Yahveh [God] tells the Elect that He is their inheritance.]
22 He that hath [Has] an ear, [Ears to hear] let him hear [With understanding] what the Spirit [Jesus Christ] saith [Says] unto [To] the churches.
[There were only two churches Jesus Christ approved of. They were the church of Smyrna and the church of Philadelphia. Both churches were teaching about the synagogue [Church] of satan. Make sure you are going to a church that teaches Yahveh’s [God’s] word as they were.]
