7 Spirits, 7 Church’s-7 Seasons of Church Age
Those Who Open the Door to the Messiah When He is Knocking!!
Those Who Realize He Has Been Knocking at Door Daily and Nightly That We Would Receive Him Today!
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps where blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Revelation 4: 5
The beginning of the book of Revelation, Jesus has asked John to write letters to encourage the first seven churches.
Each church has different issues.
Then we see that these lamps in front of God’s throne, are the church’s at the time, the seven spirits before His throne.
When reading this I thought, but there is only One Holy Spirit.
So how does this make sense.
In my previous learnings God has showed me how He writes differently than we expect.
For example:
The four living creatures-mentioned in Ezekiel and Revelation- all exist before Him at the same time, yet they are symbolic for the times, the seasons of mankind.
And the order they are introduced is the order of the seasons, the times they represent (see Four Seasons training).
The seven churches are the same.
Though they all existed at the same time,
They represent trials those specific churches needed to address in their immediate seasons.
They also represent the seasons of the Church throughout the history of mankind.
These churches are God’s time pieces for us, to encourage us, to hasten us, doing for us what He loves to do, telling His children what He is going to do, before it happens, so when it does that we would believe and trust in Him knowing, Yes He is God, the Only God!!
That we are the church of Philadelphia-for the gospel has spread throughout the whole world and a revival has started for Jesus in Jerusalem, with His people the Jews and that the Laodicea church will be --those who still need to believe in Jesus but believe in God—the tribulation church.
They also represent specific peoples, different types of individuals experiences their walks in this life.
For example those in Smyrna church represent, the church the Christians in the time of Nero in Rome who spent his time martyring Christian’s.
But they also represent any Christian through the time of the church age that is martyred for their faith.
Those of us who believe are part of the church of Philadelphia, which means the city of brotherly love.
For Jesus told us that we who believe are His mother, His brothers and His sisters.
So this means that everyone who truly believes in Jesus Christ as Lord, like the church of Philadelphia, will be raptured, kept from the hour that is coming to test every inhabitant of the earth.
May we know that we know that we know God has written everything in the Bible that we see Him, we know him and receive His blessings, first and foremost Jesus Christ the Messiah as Lord.
May we know that we know that we know He has filled every page of the Bible for us, His sheep, that we have confidence, faith in the good plans He has for all of us.
May we know that we know that we know that the tribulation season is barreling down upon us, so this is the time, the season to believe and receive Jesus Christ as Lord.
