To
the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These
are the words of Him Who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
I
know where you live—where Satan has his throne.
Yet
you remain true to My Name,
You
did not renounce your Faith in Me,
Even
in the days of Antipas, My faithful witness,
Who
was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.
Nevertheless,
I have a few things against you:
You
have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam,
Who
taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin
By eating food
sacrificed to idols
And
by committing sexual immorality .
Likewise
you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Repent
therefore!
Otherwise,
I will soon come to you and will fight against them
With
the sword of My mouth.
He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To
him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna.
I
will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it,
Known
only to him who receives it. (Revelation
2:12-17)
The sharp
double-edged sword is the Word of God, Who is Christ Jesus
The impeccable judge of
all things.
The Church of Pergamum
is in the city where Satan resides and has his throne.
In spite of this, the
Church of Pergamum has remained true to Christ Jesus,
Even though their
leader was put to death by Satan's emissaries.
However, within the
Pergamum Church, there are those deceived,
Who hold to the
teaching of Balaam
And are involved in
idol worship and sexual immorality.
Some also, are involved
with the teaching of the Nicolaitans
And their idol worship
and worldliness;
Believing that they can
belong to Christ and live as they please.
Christ Jesus warns them
that unless they repent,
He will come and fight
against them,
Revealing them for what
they are.
Christ Jesus calls for
those of us who have an ear,
To hear what He is
saying to the churches.
Those who overcome the
deception of Satan,
Will receive some of
the hidden manna, The Bread of LIFE.
They will also receive
a White Stone with a new name written on it,
Known only to him who
receives it.
The White Stone
represents the holiness that Christ Jesus imparts to His own;
The new name is
symbolic of the intimate and personal relationship
Between each saint and
Christ Jesus.
Each of us will have a
name (a nick name given us by Christ),
That is only known by
Christ and ourselves.
Today, there are
those who believe they can follow Christ Jesus
And live like the
world.
From the very beginning
of the Church
There have been those
who claim they can live as they please
And remain in the favor
of God.
This, is of course, a
lie from the deception of the devil.
Those who overcome will
not be so deceived.
Today,
we see Churches that embrace
homosexual marriage
And ordain homosexual
Church leaders.
We see Churches closing a blind eye to living together before marriage;
To engaging in sex before marriage.
These things are an abomination
to God.
This is part of The
Great Apostasy, The Great Falling Away that is with us.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
