I AM COMING SOON / REVELATION 3:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 3:12

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I AM COMING SOON / REVELATION 3:11

The close connection with Revelation 3:11 and Revelation 3:10 indicates

  1. That Christ’s coming to take up His church from the earth will be the means of their rescue (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:4-18).
  2. That rescue from “the hour of trial” and tribulation will come only to those of the churches who remain faithfully devoted to Christ and His Word (Revelation 3:8).

THE HOUR OF TRIAL / REVELATION 3:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 3:10

 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.

THE HOUR OF TRIAL / REVELATION 3:10

Christ’s promise to His faithful followers in Philadelphia to keep them from the hour of trial is identical to Paul’s promise to the Thessalonians that they would be rescued from the “coming wrath” (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This promise extends to all of God’s faithful people throughout the ages (Revelation 3:13, 22). In the original Greek, the phrase “keep you from” can mean either “keep you from experiencing” or “keep you through.” For the church then and the church today, both interpretations are relevant. God will help His people to endure and prevail through the difficulties and opposition they experience in the world, and He will ultimately rescue them from the final “hour of trial.” This final hour includes God’s appointed time of wrath and distress that will come on “the whole world” in the last years of this age, just prior to the establishment of Christ’s kingdom on earth (Revelation 5:10; 6-19; Revelation 20:4). Concerning this time, the Bible reveals the following truths.

  1. This time of trial involves God’s wrath (justified anger, judgment and punishment) on the ungodly (Revelation 6 – 19; Isaiah 13:6-13; 17:4-11; Daniel 9:27; 12:1; Zechariah 14:1-4; Matthew 24:9-31; 1 Thessalonians 5:2).
  2. Also included in this time of trial and tribulation, however, is Satan’s brutal attack on the godly (on those who accept and follow Christ). For these bold believers, there will be hunger, thirst, exposure to harsh weather (Revelation 7:16) and great suffering and tears (Revelation 7:9-17; Daniel 12:10; Matthew 24:15-21). They will experience the natural catastrophes of war, famine and death. Many will be tortured or killed for their faith in Christ (Revelation 6:11; 13:7; 14:3). They will experience the ravages of Satan and demonic forces (Revelation 9:3-5; 12:12), hate and violence from wicked people and persecution by the antichrist (Revelation 6:9; 12;17; 13:15-17). Many will be forced to flee from their homes (Matthew 24:15-21). It will be an especially disastrous time for those with families and children (Matthew 24:19). Those who accept, follow and die for Christ during the tribulation period are considered blessed, for “they will rest from their labor” (Revelation 14:13).
  3. For those who are overcomers (true followers of Christ) before that terrible “day” arrives (Revelation 2:7; Luke 21:36), God will rescue them from that time of severe trial. This most likely will happen through the rapture – the catching up of God’s faithful people to meet Christ in the air before God unleashes His wrath on the world (John 14:3). This rescue is a reward for those who persevere in devotion to Christ and live by God’s Word in true faith.

PHILADELPHIA / REVELATION 3:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 3:7

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;

PHILADELPHIA / REVELATION 3:7

Philadelphia was a faithful church that lived by Christ’s Word and did not deny Him. They had endured opposition from society and resisted conforming to the ungodly trend of other churches. This church pleased Christ because they had remained loyal to Him and the truth of the original New Testament message (Revelation 3:7-10). Because of their continued faithfulness, God would open doors of opportunity and the door to His kingdom. He also promises to rescue them from “the hour of trial” (Revelation 3:10). They would not have to rely on their limited strength (Revelation 3:8) to go through the open doors or to escape the trials to come; Christ would reward their faithfulness with His power and provision. One of the ways that churches can continue toward their goal of faithfulness is to follow the example of the Philadelphian church by asking themselves: Are we inwardly focused on ourselves, or are we focused on Christ and His purposes? Are we following Christ through open doors of ministry in our city and in the world?

HER CHILDREN /REVELATION 2:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:23

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

HER CHILDREN /REVELATION 2:23

This “Jezebel” (Revelation 2:20) represents the spiritual mother of all those within the church who promote antinomian (acts that are “against the law”) or libertine lifestyles (indulging freely in immoral pleasures). Such people feel that because of God’s grace (His unearned and undeserved favor and love), they are not bound by any fixed rules or religious regulations -including the moral standards of God’s law (1 John 1:4). They claim they have the liberty to engage in immoral behaviors without fear of punishment from God. However, Christ will ultimately judge, condemn and destroy all those who promote such deception and destruction in His churches.

YOU TOLERATE THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, WHO CALLS HERSELF A PROPHETESS / REVELATION 2:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:20

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

YOU TOLERATE THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, WHO CALLS HERSELF A PROPHETESS / REVELATION 2:20

Again, as with the Ephesian church, we see believers who have been faithful to serve God but who also had serious spiritual issues. The Believers at Thyatira were praised for the spiritual growth that they showed in serving God (Revelation 2:19). However, their willingness to compromise on spiritual matters greatly displeased the Lord. There was tolerance (like those in Pergamum) of unbiblical teaching and the immoral lifestyles of those in positions of leadership (Revelation 2:14; Revelation 2:20).

  1. John calls one particular person “Jezebel,” derived from the Old Testament Jezebel whose name is a synonym for false worship, sensuality and manipulative control (1 Kings 16:31; 19:1-3; 21:10-15; 21:25). Some at Thyatira were accepting the seductive teaching of this person who undoubtedly claimed to speak for God but was bringing harm to sincere believers. Christ condemns this Jezebel and the freedom to sin that she represents, and he calls those who tolerated her to repent and turn back to God. 
  2. We must reject all spokespersons who put their own words above Biblical revelation and standard (1 Corinthians 14:29) and who claim that God accepts immoral behavior and lifestyles among professing Christians. Some in the church show an openness to tolerate such beliefs and teaching because it excuses their own questionable behavior and compromise with the world’s evil pleasures. Others will overlook this type of sin because of spiritual apathy, personal friendships or the fear of confrontation. Still others have completely selfish reasons for this unacceptable practice: self-promotion and material gain. God says He will judge such leaders and punish all who sin in these ways and do not turn back to God for forgiveness and change their ways (Revelation 2:20-23; Luke 17:3-4). 
  3. God takes it very seriously when anyone, but especially a professing believer, causes believers to sin by influencing them to do things that violate their own consciences or to engage in behaviors largely identified with ungodly practices (Matthew 18:6, 7; 1 Corinthians 8:12).
  4. In order to guard ourselves and our churches against these less obvious but destructive influences, we must regularly examine ourselves by asking: Has our ministry fruitfulness or success caused us to rationalize questionable behavior or to overlook personal or church-wide sin?

HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS – A WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME / REVELATION 2:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:17

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 hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS – A WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME / REVELATION 2:17

HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS

We must pay attention and respond to the warnings of the Holy Spirit today. He continues to speak the same words Jesus spoke to the seven churches of Asia, commanding us to stay true to God’s Word, overcome sin in the world and not to tolerate immoral behavior among the people of God. If we lose our victory in these important areas, we lose God’s favor, His guiding presence and the Holy Spirit’s power. In the end, we will become enemies of God’s kingdom. But there is continued promise of help for those who remain faithful and depend completely on God to help them overcome. These are the ones who receive the hidden manna (Psalms 78:24; John 6:48-51, 58, 63), which means spiritual life, nourishment and fulfillment from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We will also receive a “white stone,” which represents the triumph of our faith over everything that was aimed to destroying our devotion to Christ.

A WHITE STONE WITH A NEW NAME

In ancient times, certain kinds of stones carried special meaning. In John’s time, a white rock was sometimes used in judicial matters as a vote of “not guilty.” In the context of this passage, it would represent forgiveness and the statement of spiritual innocence for those who had overcome immoral desires and worldly lusts. They were declared to be faithful to God. Relating to Christian victory, this stone might also be considered as the admission to Christ’s ultimate victory banquet (Revelation 19:9). The stone would bear the God-given name of the carrier and would mean that the carrier had a new nature, authority and full inheritance with God. The name would designate the bearer of the stone as a forgiven servant of Christ and a victorious conqueror (Isaiah 62:2; 65:15).

FIGHT AGAINST THEM / REVELATION 2:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:16

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

FIGHT AGAINST THEM / REVELATION 2:16

Jesus opposes any persons within His churches who promote a tolerant attitude toward sin, especially those who claim to follow Christ (Revelation 2:15; Revelation 2:6; 1 Corinthians 5:2; Galatians 5:21). He promises to wage war against any hypocritical and immoral person whose example invites others to follow in that destructive path (Revelation 1:16). Their only hope is to sincerely repent (Matthew 3:2). middle

THE TEACHING OF BALAAM / REVELATION 2:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

THE TEACHING OF BALAAM / REVELATION 2:14

Balaam was a false prophet of the Old Testament who sold his services to an ungodly king and advised the Midianite women how to tempt the Israelites to compromise their faith by idolatry (worshiping false gods or anything in place of the one true God) and immoral behavior (Numbers 22:5, 7; 25:1-2; 31:16; 2 Peter 2:15). For this reason, Balaam represents corrupt and deceptive teachers or preachers – or any believers – who lead or influence God’s people to compromise with worldly beliefs and behaviors, all for the sake of selfish interests or personal advancement. The church at Pergamum evidently had teachers who taught that spiritually saving faith and immoral lifestyle were compatible. To guard against this subtle, but destructive, influence and preserve our effectiveness as part of Christ’s church, we must ask ourselves: Could our outward testimony for Christ be threatened by inwardly compromising the truth?

WHERE SATAN HAS HIS THRONE / REVELATION 2:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:13

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

WHERE SATAN HAS HIS THRONE / REVELATION 2:13

This may mean a place where the influence of Satan and evil was very strong, especially since Pergamum was the official center of Roman emperor worship in the province of Asia. Antipas is thought to be the first Christian in Asia to be killed for his faith in Christ. According to tradition, he was roasted to death in a bronze kettle during the reign of Emperor Domitian.

THE SECOND DEATH / REVELATION 2:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:11

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

THE SECOND DEATH / REVELATION 2:11

This refers to spiritual death – permanent separation from God and eternal punishment in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:6; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8) – which faithful overcomers will escape (Revelation 2:7).
