Revelation Chapter 2, church of Smyrna and VPP

Revelation 2:8-11

Smyrna was in today Turkey, it was a famous industrial and business centre. Smyrna was a very beautiful town, and in it, there were many kinds of religions and beliefs, and each of their followers set up their religious temples and places of worship in Smyrna, and they even built their head quarter in Smyrna.

There was a temple which was worshiping the king, Caesar, they worshipped the Romans king as god, as a divine king! So there was a big temple built to worship king Tiberius.

And there lived a small community of Jews, they were very powerful, and influential, but they compromised with Romans, they too sometimes oppressed their own the Jews and Christians.

The secular Jews and orthodox Jews, are they in good term? Do they make friends to Christians?

2:9-10, There we found a group of true believer! The church or the synagogue in Smyrna was found faithful, the were faithful to Adonai, to the Messiah, so here we can see they were standing faithfully, to the truth, stand for Adonai.

So Adonai did not rebuke them, furthermore Adonai expected them to be persecuted, from day one onward, from step one onward, they must expected to be tortured and persecuted! This is the fact Adonai revealed to them!

To the Israelites, do not fear, and do not be self righteous, but be patient, and persevere, even unto death you must be faithful to Adonai! (Galatians 5:22)

2:11, We must depend on Adonai, our LORD, we must call on Him, Jesus Christ, He can give the power to overcome the second death, the death of a soul, that second death is the everlasting death, but Adonai saved those who called onto Him, amen.

I am dying, but Adonai, He give me a new life beyond death, one day the pains and troubles in the world will passed away, those who were suffering for the sake of Adonai will be rewarded, they will received a eternal life. Amen.

My dear, see that the coming of Messiah is nearer, and He expected us to be persecuted in some ways, but why are those theologians who are teaching VPP persecuted the CUV readers, and the NKJV and ESV readers?

Are you being persecuted in reading the CUV and NKJV! If yes, you are like a member in Smyrna....
