Revelation 3; Verses 1-6; Sardis Church



Continuing on the amazing book of Revelation. Meaning to reveal/uncover/unveil the end-times truth for us. When the sealing was and is to take place, and is taking place. Thank you for taking a look †


Remember, Christ only approves of the teaching of Smyrna and Philadelphia. Two of the seven Churches. Which is why once again when the two witnesses are here during the great tribulation, through them they are giving that double pouring of the Holy Spirit to them two Churches as a whole.


Quick look. What else does it mean? No rapture/pre trib rapture. The Church is here (the candlesticks)! (Revelation 11:4) "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."


The fix is in. Obviously, we see very well the Church is here during the great tribulation. Easy peasy.


(Revelation 3:1-6) "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.


First point Christ is trying make here with all the sevens is what it takes to be complete, God is watching and there is no conning Him. This is key here, they may seem alive but are playing "church." It's time to get serious and honest with self with the LORD then others. The seven Spirits of God are further seen in Revelation 5:12. We will take a deep look when we get there. They are Christ' and His for first overcoming showing us the way. As there the seals are about to be opened beginning in Revelation 6. For us, the end-times generation to know, to understand, thus wisdom and protection from satan. Exactly what it means. Knowing beforehand what is to come, hence being protected.


2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.


(Stay on watch "on the housetop". What is the opposite of that? Falling asleep/laziness/entitlement while the bridegroom tarried. This can also be seen plenty of times but so specific in Luke 21 after Christ gives us the end-times "events" there. Then the warnings).


Essentially, not staying on the housetop. They went in the house not able to know and see when the thief in the night comes. Thief in the night as world's darkest hour "the hour of temptation" comes when satan claims to be Christ/God. Hence, the Day of the Lord is a day of darkness, and He is the light.


Why entitled? Here you have it:


(Luke 21:36) "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."


(The Word escape is not a rapture. It means to be kept safe from the Greek. This hits the entitled mindset so hard here. So you know truth? You know satan come first? No rapture/pre trib rapture? Not enough. Living like the world and knowing them things only means more punishment. Knowing better but yet doing the opposite).


Even more:


(Luke 21:34) "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."


(More entitlement and their negativity. This is so important. He will take it away. Take it away as you never knew it that is. An even deeper study showing the same overall is LUKE 12:35-48. Overall, dealing with the wicked servant entitled, arrogant, snobbish attitude in the end-times. They are of course in and of the world calling themselves God's elect, thinking they know it all. Seems they would be sharing, teaching, furthering the Gospel and the Word of God? They do not because they are the wicked servants. Many say I want to raise my discernment).


To Revelation 3:3,


3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.


Meaning because of taking it away to the wicked servant(s) they will worship satan as Christ/God and Christ comes like a thief in the night on the Day of the Lord to them. Not able to stand on that day and have our Father through Christ proud of them. No they want the mountains to fall on them i.e. crawl under a rock out of shame of being caught "red-handed." Cheaters never prosper. Stay a Spiritual wise virgin for your husband.


Place and time here; 6th vial. satan claims to be Christ/God at 666. 6th seal, 6th trumpet, and 6th vial. Christ is telling us when that happens He is about to come for His second coming. But the vials must be complete. DOWN TO VIAL 1 IN SUCCESSION FROM VIAL 6 UNTIL YOU GET TO 7 = Christ' coming. Easy peasy.


How? Vial 6 satan claims to be Christ/God, the Euphrates completely drying for up complete famine at the center of confusion i.e. Babylon, and on down to vial 1 for those who take the mark of the beast.


(Revelation 16:15) "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."


To Revelation 3:4,


4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.


(And so it is, the garment of salvation. The exchange of clean white linen for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and not the great supper of God. The direct opposite in the negative not taking part in the Marriage Supper).


(Revelation 19:7-9) "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.


9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."


To Revelation 3:5,


5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.


(Here you have it same place and time. White for purity. "Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God." They get the "priceless" exchange here for staying faithful in the purest of Holy matrimony. Christ confessing is huge here. This goes back to being ashamed once again, and what it takes to overcome the world as Christ showed us first. Denying self, crucifying the flesh, and walking in the Holy Spirit. Hence the next verse as well. Please take a look Mark 8:34-38. That exchange of our soul chasing the things of the world. But, Christ showing us He made the exchange as He was our ransom (payment on the cross for able to set free).


6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."


(What are we taking in? That first sense of what we bring in. What we bring in of course comes out).



Amen!!!
