The persecuted church. For the sake of this church, the Lord told them not to be afraid. The congregation in this place was persecuted. However, the Lord did not warn them not to be afraid, and promised that they would not be hurt for the second time (the second death is to be separated from God forever). Therefore, Shimenna church is a church that has not been blamed by the Lord.
Pegamo Church-refers to the national church, which tolerates some evils: the lesson of Balaam (1) and the lesson of Nicholas (2). As we all know, Balaam is a mercenary false prophet who lures the Israelites to sin against God. Nicholas, the original meaning is the conqueror of the laity. The Bible does not explain what this lesson is, but it tells us that it is abhorrent to Jesus. Therefore, the Lord said that he would come to this church, not a double-edged sword, in order to separate the good from the bad.
The church of Thyatira-this church was manipulated by a false prophet named Jezebel, allowing her to corrupt the church with evil teachings. This Jezebel is talking about a replica of Jezebel in Elijah's time. Therefore, when the Lord comes to this church, his eyes are like fire and his feet are like bright copper, and he is ready to step on the judgment seat. Those who refuse to follow Jezebel's teachings will be rewarded.
Sadi Church-the church in the reform period, about 15 17- 1730 BC. Scripture tells us that this church has a good reputation outside, but its spirituality is dead, so the Lord asked them to think about how they received it at first, how they heard it, what they should do and how they should repent.
Church in Philadelphia-Jesus praised the congregation of this church and told them that no one can close an open door. This message is a promise to every church that faithfully preaches the gospel of God, faithfully teaches people according to God's will, abides by God's word, and does not reject the name of the Lord.
Laodicea Church-refers to apostates and apostates.
