Message to Ephesus;
Apostle John one day saw Jesus. He then knelt to his feet and worshipped him. Jesus was dressed in a white robe. He also had 7 stars in his hand at the time. John was told to share with the world what he had witnessed.
The message in Revelation was broken down into three areas. What is seen what is happening and what will happen next. Sometimes Revelation is looked at as what is going on in Appostle John’s life. Some messages took place way back in history in the first century. Some believe some messages are about the future. How ever the book is read and studied it is still a bit hard to explain. The lampstands that Jesus has with him had to do with the messages the angels are giving him to give to the people. Angels are referred to as Heavenly beings, but also can be human messagers as well. Some angels deliver a message in a book and some do it through other humans. Jacob at one time read a tablet that a message from an angel was written on. He later gave the message to all of his family. The christian way to think of a church is a lot of people gathering together in a community and worshipping. Many people also in history were becoming christian and not paying attention to anything jewish related. Ephesus is a city that is a part of Rome. Ephesus at one time was not something that would be of Our Heavenly Father. A female Greek at one time also led Ephesus and was always concerned for the safety and well being of the people.“The one who has a good hold on the seven stars and the lampstands. There are also many differences between different things. Ephesus was always blessed to experience many miracles performed in the lives of the people. Beforehand there were many hard times. Sometimes Ephesus had a problem with fear. What would cause it was an evil spirit that would use Jesus’s name. They eventually overcame it with prayer and staying close to Our Heavenly Father.
Revelation 1:20 the seven stars you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lamp-stands, is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp-stands are the seven churches themselves.’
Revelation 2:1a Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus and say, “Here is the message of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who lives among the seven golden lamp-stands:
Acts 19:8 says,
“Paul entered the
synagogue and spoke
boldly there for three
months, arguing
persuasively about the
kingdom of God.
Revelation 2:1‘Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus and say, “Here is the message of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who lives among the seven golden lamp-stands: Jesus is also to be reffered to as the image of the God of Israel.
Revelation 2:2-3 I know your deeds, and
your labor and
perseverance, and that
you cannot tolerate evil
ones. And you have tested
those who claim to be
emissaries but are not,
and you found them false.
And you have persevered
and endured for the sake
of my name, and you have
not grown weary.”
Leviticus 20:23-25 20:3 and I shall set my face against that man and outlaw him from his people; for by giving a child of his to Molech he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.
20:4 If the people of the country choose to close their eyes to the man’s action when he gives a child of his to Molech, and do not put him to death,
20:5 I myself shall turn my face against that man and his clan. I shall outlaw them from their people, both him and all those after him who prostitute themselves by following Molech.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for the spiritual instructions in Your Word and the warnings that help to keep us always focussed on Jesus. We pray that our devotion for You will not grow cold, but that in all things we will become more and more thrilled with the wonders of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour. May my love for You start to reflect, in some small way, the love that You have shown to us. And thank You for the many privileges that are mine in Christ, in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
Prayer of Salvation to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
