Beware Dispensationalist Pervert The 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation. They Pervert Bible Prophecy. God Clearly Warns us not to Add to His Words.
It is almost impossible to Find a Book. A Church. An Evangelist. Christians that understand that the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation were REAL CHURCHES. Dispensationalist False Theology has corrupted most Churches. Bible Prophecy has become a way to make Billions of dollars. False Teachers get rich selling their False Prophecy Doctrines.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
This is God Talking Directly to the people who invented Dispensationalist Theology.
God is talking to ALL Dispensationalists. They have ADDED Words to The Book of Revelation, Teachings that are not There. Why else would God have given this Warning? Dispensationalist Have Absolutely ADDED to the Book of Revelation.
This Warning should be enough for you. To not Follow Dispensationalism. To not Spread its False Teachings.
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
God Warns Against ADDING or SUBTRATING from His’s Word.
Dispensationalist’s will throw out these verses. Because God is Directly talking to the Jewish people. Let me remind you. That you cannot just throw out Bible verses for any reason.
2nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Every Scripture that is about Not Adding To. Not Subtracting From God’s Word. That is about the Truth of God’s Word. Is Always Bible Doctrine for Everyone at any time in History. This should be Crystal Clear to Everyone who Claims to be a Christian.
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
In Matthew 22. Jesus is talking to Sadducees. Jewish Religious Leaders.
Leaders who had the Authority over Jewish people who practiced Judaism. They taught the Scriptures. And devoted their Lives to reading and following the Scriptures. Jesus is calling them out for their IGNORANCE OF THE SCRIPTURES.
This applies to everyone who claims to be a Christian Pastor. An Evangelist. To Any man who is Teaching the Scriptures in an official capacity. They all have a responsibility to know what they are talking about.
No, marriage in Heaven is an established Bible Truth. This is what Jesus is telling the Sadducees. The Counterfeit Christian Church gets this Wrong today too. They think there will be marriages in Heaven. Within the Resurrected Christian Church. Today’s Modern day Pharisees and Sadducees.
To follow Dispensationalism after seeing how they ADD to the Bible. Is Asking for God’s Judgment against you.
There were Seven Real Churches that the Apostle John wrote to.
Dispensationalist, ignore that these were Seven Real Churches. They Pervert the Scriptures. Turning each letter written to a real Church into a period of time. That describes the Christian Church through Fictional Church Ages.
The Letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation
Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
When you read the Bible.
It is essential to know who the passage is being written to. Some Bible Doctrine is a Universal Truth that applies to everyone. Four examples are: God is One God in Three Persons. Jesus is God. There is only one True Gospel in the Bible. And God Hates Sin. Some Doctrine. Applies only to the People the Scripture was written to. If you cannot apply Doctrine from a passage to you. It will still have a spiritual application. The Bible tells us the true History of God’s dealing with mankind.
The Bible is full of prophecies.
The Book of Revelation is a very prophetic book. No one understands completely everything written in it. People need to say I do not understand this passage instead of inventing False Doctrines. These people do not understand because they are Lost False Teachers.
It is important to teach only what the Bible says.
Too many Greedy Writers. Pastors. Preachers and Churches Pervert the Scriptures. They make Billions of dollars Writing Fiction Books. Making Movies. Building Churches etc.
There are prophetic passages in the Letters to the Seven Churches. I heard one Dispensationalist Pastor say. The existence of Seven Real Churches that had the same names as the Churches in Revelation, does not change the Truth of what Dispensationalist teach.
That is like saying. The 10 lost tribes of Israel are the United States of America. Something many Bible Perverters say. Dispensationalist have invented a False Church History. What Dispensationalist teach concerning the Seven Churches is mostly Fiction.
The Term Bible Believer Means Nothing. It is a Self-Righteous Term. It Does not Mean the person. The Church that uses this Term is Saved. Most people who use this Term are Lost.
IFB Baptist Bible Believers claim the Bible is almost all literal facts. A History of Past, Present, and Future events. The Bible must be read literally. Unless a passage is clearly written as a Parable. As a clear illustration. Bible Believers do not teach the Bible this way though. They are huge Hypocrites. Their adding to the Bible and subtracting from the Bible goes against their own rules.
I have never seen any Church that Adds to the Bible and Subtracts from the Bible more than they do. They throw out whole books of the Bible. Using their Dispensationalist Theology that splits the Bible up. They will say that was written to people in a different Dispensation. So we can ignore those scriptures. Those scriptures do not apply to the Church Age Dispensation.
The Divisions they use, Dispensations, are not in the Bible. They are invented. Just like they have created Fictional Church Ages. That do not exist in the Bible. They are the worst Bible Perverters in the world.
Please understand when you read the Bible. The Bible is a Book of History. What is written in the Bible has happened. Or will happen in the future.
Beware of Dispensationalist False Doctrines. They teach that the letters to the Seven Real Churches in Asia Minor. (Modern day Turkey.) In Revelation 2 and 3 represent Seven Ages of Church History. Guess what this is not found in the Bible. It is made up.
The view that these Seven Churches. Represent Seven consecutive periods in the History of the Church. Has no basis in fact.
Simply put. The Bible does not say. Or even imply. That the letters to the Seven Churches. Is about Seven Future periods of Church History.
Nobody is able to accurately pinpoint. When each invented Age began and ended. Variations in the conclusions. And in charts of different expositors. Prove that there is no consensus among them.
Different suggestions. Have been put forward. Some expositors try to find ecclesiastical organizations. And movements in some of these stages. Thus trying to insert too much prophesy into it. All attempts at this are speculative and subjective. There is no objective hermeneutical guideline in reaching their conclusions. Their speculations are not Biblical.
It is Heresy. To label and identify the Seven Churches as relating to specific Time Periods in History.
The Scriptures do not say. That the Seven Candlesticks are Seven Church Ages. It clearly says that the Candlesticks are Seven Real Churches. Churches that existed at that time.
John Walvoord, a respected prophetic scholar. Admits that, “The prophetic interpretation of the messages to the Seven Churches, to be sure, should not be pressed beyond bounds. As it is a deduction from the content. Not from the explicit statement of the passage.” (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 52.)
J. Allen also admits. That, “sometimes prophetic interpretation can be pressed too far. And owe much to the imagination of the commentator.”
In support of the prophetic view. He writes, “To deny its existence. (In the book of Revelation.) Is to exclude a line of thought. That Christ meant to become clearer. As the age moves to its climax. His coming for the church.” (Revelation, 13:8.)
C. I. Scofield. Clarence Larkin. And numerous other Writers. Invented / invent things out of thin air about the Seven Churches. Fables you cannot find in the Bible anywhere.
Dispensationalist are “Bible Believers?” No They Are Liars. That Add To And Subtract from the Bible.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
The Seven Churches were REAL Churches. That existed at the time John wrote the Seven letters to them.
Each letter was a Specific Message to a Real Church. Some of these Churches. Had a closer relationship with Jesus than others. Jesus gave each one a short “report card.”
Ephesus:
“…thou hast left thy first love…”
They lost their first love for Jesus Christ. Which in turn affected the love they had for others.
Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Smyrna:
Was warned it was about to face persecution.
Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Pergamum:
Had fallen prey to a cult called the Nicolaitans. Heretics who taught that since their bodies were evil. Only what they did with their spirit counted. This led to sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Thyatira:
Had Jezebel a False Prophetess who was leading people astray.
Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Sardis:
Had the reputation of being dead, or asleep.
Revelation 3:1 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.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
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.
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.
Some of the passages written to Sardis are not just Historical. They are talking about the Great Tribulation.
Verse 3 “… If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”
Verse 3 is difficult. It could be talking about about the Rapture of the Church or it could be talking about the Rapture that happens during the Great Tribulation.
Verse 5 “… I will not blot out his name out of the book of life…”
Right Now in the Christian Church. A person has Eternal Life and their name cannot be Blotted out of the Book of Life.
During the Great Tribulation. A person who was Left Behind can Believe on Jesus. And have their name written in the Book of Life. When people who went to Church see they have missed the Rapture. Some of them will Believe the Gospel. Even people who never went to Church but knew about the Rapture. Some of these people will also Believe the Gospel.
Any of these people. If they take the Mark of the Beast. Than their name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life.
In the Great Tribulation there is No Eternal Security. Because of the Mark of the Beast. Again, if a person who Believed the Gospel takes the Mark of the Beast. There name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life. Because they took The Mark of the Beast.
A person is Saved the Same way in the Great Tribulation. By Believing the Gospel only. As we are today. In fact, there is only one plan of Salvation in the Bible.
They do not have Eternal Security. Because at any time they can take the Mark of the Beast. It is not a Works Based Salvation. Because No Work they have Done will get them into Heaven. Not taking the Mark of the Beast is not a Work.
Taking the Mark of the Beast is Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. The only unforgivable Sin.
People who take the Mark of the Beast. Are Claiming Satan is the real Jesus Christ. Making Jesus Works the Works of Satan. Which is what Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is.
Philadelphia:
This Church had a little strength. And kept God’s word. They did not deny Jesus name.
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
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.
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.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
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.
Historical:
The Synagogue of Satan is mentioned twice in Revelation. Once in Jesus’ letter to the first-century church in Smyrna. And once to the church in Philadelphia. In both cases, the Synagogue of Satan is opposed to the mission and message of the Church.
To the church in Smyrna. Jesus says. “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9).
To the church of Philadelphia in Asia Minor. Jesus says. “I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you” (Revelation 3:9).
In short. The Synagogue of Satan. Was a group of unbelieving Jews. Who were Persecuting Christians.
These groups were guilty of Slandering the church in Smyrna. And opposing the Church in Philadelphia.
The majority of the persecution the New Testament Church faced. Came from the Jewish community. Even most of the Roman persecution. Was an effort to appease the Jewish authorities.
This is true of Pilate’s condemnation of Jesus. (John 19:1–16.) And Paul’s imprisonment by the Roman governors Felix. (Acts 24:27.) And Festus. (Acts 25:16.) This pattern held true throughout the Roman world in the first century.
As long as Christians were considered a sect of Judaism. They were Safe from Roman persecution.
They were exempt. From the required observance. Of certain aspects of Roman state religion. However, as Christians were expelled from synagogues. And denounced by the Jewish leadership. Rome began to see Christianity as a new religion. That did not have these same exemptions. Therefore, Christians outside the protective umbrella of the synagogue. Were open to Roman persecution.
The Synagogue of Satan say they are Jews. (The people of God.) And they Persecute those who Believe in Jesus the Messiah. In reality, by rejecting Jesus The Jewish Messiah. They have renounced their status as “True” Jews. That is why Jesus calls them “liars.”
This distinction between ethnic Jews. And faithful Jews. Is also seen in Romans 9:6. (“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.”) And Romans 2:28–29. (“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.”)
By their Persecution of the True people of God. These unbelieving Jews had become a Synagogue of Satan. A gathering of people who were actually following Satan’s wishes.
Laodicea:
Had Lukewarm Faith. Its members had grown complacent. Because of the riches of the city.
Revelation 3:15 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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
The Laodicea Church Period. Is said to be happening Right Now.
At this Current time in Church History. I do not buy it. The Bible does not say this. Today’s Church is much, worse than the Laodicea Church was. Jesus questioned if there would be “ANY FAITH” on the earth. When he returned. Talking about the Rapture of the Church.
The Laodicea Church was Lukewarm. Not Ice Cold. Like the Church is today. Today people get Saved. Go to a Church that does not preach the Bible. And live like the devil the rest of the week.
Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
Revelation 3:20 “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.”
This famous verse is not talking about Jesus knocking on the door of the Lost. Jesus is knocking on the door of the Laodicea Church. Because they are so far from him. That he is knocking on their doors saying. “Hey let me into your Church.” “I want to fellowship with you.”
Dispensationalist reject that these Letters were written to the real Churches in Asia Minor.
They Invent, ADD to the Bible, their own Fables about these Seven Real Churches.
They say the message to the Church in Ephesus. Is really to the Church Period at the end of the Apostolic age. Please show this to me in the Bible. Where is that in the Bible? FYI it is not in the Bible.
The letter to the Church in Smyrna. Represents the “Period of the great persecutions to A.D. 316.” Where is this in the Bible? It is not in the Bible.
The letter to the Church in Pergamos. Represents “The church under imperial favour. Settled in the world, A.D. 316 to the end.” Where is this in the Bible?
The letter to Church in Thyatira. Represents “A.D. 500-1500. The triumph of Balaamism and Nicolaitanism. A believing remnant (vs. 24-28.)” Where is this in the Bible?
The letter to Church in Sardis. Represents “The period of the Reformations. A believing remnant (vs. 4, 5.)” Where is this in the Bible?
The letter to the Church in Philadelphia. Represents “The true church. The church that preaches the Gospel.” The Church period right before the church becomes Lukewarm. Where is this in the Bible?
The letter to Church in Laodicea. Represents the final state of Apostasy in the church. The current Church Age we are now living in. Where is this in the Bible?
This Heresy is not found in the Word of God. It is complete Fiction written by men not by God.
These Seven Letters to the Seven Churches are exactly that. The churches were named. “1 The church at Ephesus.” “2 The church at Smyrna.” “3 The church at Pergamos.” “4 The church at Thyatira.” “5 The church at Sardis.” “6 The church at Philadelphia.” And “7 The church at Laodicea.”
These Seven Churches had problems like all churches do. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle John to write letters to these churches. To help the churches get straightened out. Would somebody please show me in the Bible. Where these Seven Letters represent The Seven Invented Church Ages. Of Church History Claimed by Dispensationalist?
Please Ask Jesus to Save You. If you have not already. Believe the Gospel Only To Be Saved.
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
