1 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.
This is directed at those in Sardis who will be spiritually dead beginning at 666 because (again) the time frame of Revelation chapters 2 and 3 is after satan appears as the antichrist at the 6th seal the 6th trumpet and the 6th vial which is when most Christians will die spiritually because of the deception that Satan is Jesus returned and also after those of the church in Philadelphia get delivered up to ‘Death’ (which is one of Satan’s names) and what the Holy Spirit will say through them at that time will bring the church in Smyrna (the 144,000) as well as many out of most of the other churches out of the confusion (which is what ‘Babylon’ means) when they repent whereby they can be grafted back into God’s family tree.
Christ saying that they have a ‘name’ that they ‘livest’ and are ‘dead’ means they will continue to call themselves Christians when they had really become Satan worshippers at 666 and failed to repent when the Holy Spirit spoke through those of the church in Philadelphia, as opposed to those in Sardis who will repent at that time.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Christ is saying here to those in Sardis who still have the mark of the beast that they need to ‘strengthen the things which remain’ in their forehead meaning the truth in their mind from back when they were still Christians (as well as the words of the Holy Spirit through Philadelphia that will have just been broadcast throughout the globe) that Satan has yet to destroy with his deception.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received
Again: prior to 666 as well as ‘the hour of temptation’ when they were still Christians.
and heard,
When the Holy Spirit spake through those of the church in Philadelphia which will happen after Satan appears as the antichrist..
and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
Which means unexpectedly because they will think Christ has already returned when it will really be Satan in his role of antichrist: the king of Babylon of the end times.
and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
They will not realize (until it is too late) that the TRUE Christ will not return at all until immediately after the five month long ‘hour of temptation’ at the woe of the 7th trumpet, which is two and a half months (or seventy evenings) after the woe of the 6th trumpet begins.
Those seventy evenings (which are encoded in the book of Daniel) being what the seventy years in captivity to the Babylon of old were a type of.
4 Thou 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.
Because they will have repented after the Holy Spirit speaks through those of the church in Philadelphia.
They did defile their garments (so to speak) when they worship Satan instead of Christ but upon repentance it was erased, meaning they are now able to take part in ‘the first resurrection’ at the 7th trumpet.
They will not be able to approach Christ until after the thousand years are finished (as we know from Ezekiel chapter 44) so ‘walking’ with Christ ‘in white’ means they will be made part of the millennial priesthood at the 7th trumpet.
Walking in His ways in other words as they distribute His teachings of discipline to whosoever will choose to absorb it whereby they can stand against Satan after the thousand years are finished and take part in the second resurrection as opposed to being cast into the lake of fire which is the second death.
5 He 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.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
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;
As He opens the door to the truth and shuts the door to deception: sealing their minds with the seal of God.
Those of the 7,000 Zadok (or 232 of that number possibly) are those who have the seal of God in their forehead throughout the entire five month long ‘hour of temptation’ with the type in Daniel chapter 3 being Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who refused to worship the image of the king of Babylon of old: a type looking forward to the image of the beast which is the image of Satan as the antichrist transmitted throughout the globe beginning at 666.
Those of the church in Smyrna (the 144,000) will only receive the seed of the seal of God during the grace period of the 5th trumpet and then when the Holy Spirit speaks through those of the church in Philadelphia, the seed of the seal of God will come to fruition in their foreheads and they will then be grafted back into God’s family tree at that time along with whosoever will out of most of the other churches.
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
Meaning an open door to the truth of God’s word: they fought Satan in the first world age which is why they are predestinated to become Christians and to never bow a knee to the image of Baal which is Satan when he appears in Jerusalem in his role of antichrist (called also the false prophet) which is when his image will be transmitted onto the screens of all the televisions, smartphones and computers.
for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.
Notice this is in the past tense because they had already been delivered up to ‘Death’ (which is one of Satan’s names) at which time the Holy Spirit spake through them, bringing the 144,000 out of the confusion as well as whosoever will repent upon hearkening to the voice of the Holy Spirit at that time.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
The Kenites are ‘the synagogue of Satan’ and the natural branches of Satan’s family tree that most Christians will be grafted into also at 666 when they become ‘evil figs’ by adoption which is when they will be cast into the outer darkness unless they repent before the seventh angel sounds.
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.
In other words: they will be kept from the remainder of the five month long ‘hour of temptation’ which will already be underway according to the time frame of the seven letters to the seven churches.
Those of the church in Philadelphia are not going to find it tempting to begin with because they will understand that the TRUE Christ does not return until ‘immediately after the tribulation of those days’ meaning the seven ‘days’ (which are symbolic of years) of Daniel’s 70th Week, which has now been shortened to a five month period.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Meaning the crown they will receive at the 7th trumpet at the end of ‘the hour of temptation’ which is symbolic of taking part in the first resurrection.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he 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 word translated as ‘new’ (in this case) means eternal and (as we saw back in Revelation 2:17) this word translated as ‘name’ means to know who the TRUE Christ is which is the key of David and with that comes understanding who the stones worn smooth are that come from the false rock, meaning the Kenites who are the children of Satan who is the false christ.
We see here also the ‘new’ which means the eternal Jerusalem in the third world age (which is the eternity) that all who overcometh through Christ Jesus will enter into after the thousand years are finished, having taken part in either the first resurrection at the beginning of the thousand years or the second resurrection after the thousand years are finished.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.
Meaning if they fail to repent before the seventh angel sounds (which is when the TRUE Christ returns) they will be cast into the outer darkness as ‘evil figs’ unable to take part in the first resurrection.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Remember the time frame here is after Satan appears as the antichrist when most Christians are made ‘naked’ spiritually speaking, which means they will lose all credit for their righteous acts that make up the clothing worn in the spiritual bodies when they worship Satan when he appears as the antichrist, receiving the mark of the beast in their foreheads which is the deception Satan is Jesus returned.
18 I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
They will still have the opportunity to hearken to the voice of the Holy Spirit through those who get delivered up from that point forward, meaning those of the church in Smyrna as well as whosoever will.
This is how they will be able to buy of Christ ‘gold tried in the fire’ and upon repentance they will be ‘clothed’ spiritually speaking, being added to the number of those who will take part in the first resurrection at the 7th trumpet.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
Because upon repentance they will be grafted back into God’s family tree, which is the many-membered body of the TRUE Christ.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne.
And as you can see in the 23rd verse of the fifteenth chapter of the first epistle to the Corinthians: ‘Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.’
They will be made part of the millennial priesthood, who (along with those who take part in the second resurrection) will go into the eternity which is the third world age.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
