And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that
have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10 KJV
The Book of Revelation In Words of Understanding !!!
The Book of Revelation In Words of Understanding
by Pastor Lee S Gliddon Jr, DOM
God's Word Christian Ministry
I recently received a note from one of my dear Christian sisters informing me of her love of the Book of Revelation.
In reading that note I realized that many people have some thoughts as to the meanings of
that Book of out Bible but some apprehensions as to parts.
In a series of Sermons I shall set forth all that I can as relates to the Book of Revelation in hopes
of allowing you, and me, to get a cleared picture of that glorious Scripture.
I wish to point out one remarkable statement respecting the Book of Revelation. As stated in Revelation 1: 3,
God extends blessings to the readers and to those who obey the things set forth in this Book.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those
who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
This sets forth three promises for Christians. Those blessed are the readers and those that hear
it with the taking to heart, keeping, God’s Word as their way of life.
Now, for some basic facts about the Book of Revelations:
The Book of Revelation is not the revelation of John, but of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of the Book of Revelation is to reveal.
The Revelation letter addresses a select group of people.
The Book of Revelation is written in symbolic language.
The agent of the Book of Revelation is not a celestial being.
The Book of Revelation includes the past, present and future.
The Book of Revelation is written in seven series.
Respecting item #1, The Divine truth of Revelation is arrived at by your belief in Jesus Christ. Without this belief it explains nothing as only those who truly believe are able to understand that which is contained therein.
Respecting item #2, The Greek word, from which our Bible was translated, for Revelation is: apokalupsis. Apo- meaning, away from, and kalupsis, meaning, a hiding or veiling. Ergo: Revelations: an un-hiding, the taking away of a veil. Revelation 1:18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades
Respecting item #3, the select group of people that are being addressed are those without sin; the forgiven, the saved.
Respecting item #4, in reading Revelation 1:1 the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John; such was accomplished by showing marks or symbols that are, themselves, explained in other Scriptures written throughout our Bible.
Respecting item #5, Jesus Christ had an angel accompany John in his ‘tour’ of Heaven but the true guide that was John’s, ‘true revealer,’ and guide was God’s Holy Spirit.
Respecting item #6 is self explanatory as every tense is set forth in God’s Word, those being past tense, present tense and future tense.
Lastly, respecting item #7, the following should adequately allow you to understand this item.
The Book of Revelation is a seven series Book and explained thusly:
Series 1 is comprised of Books 1 through 3. These Books contain the letters to the seven churches in Asia .
Series 2 is comprised of Books 4 and 5. A vision of God’s throne is given, the government of the church and God’s plan for the Salvation of His children.
Series 3 is comprised of Books 6 through 11. These Books set forth the opening of the 7 seals setting forth what is to be.
Series 4 is comprised of Book 12. This Book portrays the parental phase of the church as the Pure Woman bringing forth a new covenant. Also set forth is the power of Rome to devour the converts to God’s way of eternal life.
Series 5 is comprised of Books 13 through 19. These Books set forth God’s enemies that are the false systems of religion brought forth by Satan and how the church overcame them.
Series 6 is comprised of Book 20. This Book is a series in itself setting forth the binding and loosing of the dragon.
Series 7 is comprised of Books 21 and 22. These Books give a clear vision of the church. The church remains as powerful in the evening as it was at first dawn.
Throughout the sermon setting forth the Book of Revelation there will be many references to God’s Word as set forth in preceding Books of the Bible. As they are numerous I shall refrain from my usual copying them and setting them forth but will simply cite such and rely on you to seek out those Scriptural Passages. I will set forth a bit of how each pertains as there is a great deal of symbolic language involved and as you may recall as existing.
With no further adieu I shall set out in my best way an understanding of God’s Word as set forth in the Book of Revelation.
Having earlier set forth Revelation 1:1-3, I shall start with:
Revelation 1:4-8 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. 7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
The seven churches are but seven of the many in Asia but the names of those churches
are of importance but at this time the number, being seven is of greater importance.
Seven is a dominant number and God’s number. You will see that number as it is set forth in Genesis 2:2 and 41:2, Deuteronomy 32:4, Exodus 12:15, Joshua 6:4, Revelation 5:2 and 15:6-7. Seven, seven, seven, seven, repeated over and over. If you recall the battle of Jericho , Joshua led Israel around the city seven times. This is God’s number.
We are named as kings and priests as it is by the Blood of Jesus Christ that we are saved. He is the King of kings with us being the kings! He will come to us and we will see Him! He who is the Alpha and the Omega will come for His servants and we shall be kings and priests.
Revelation 1: 9 -12, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea." 12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
John was ‘in the spirit’ when he heard the voice of Jesus behind him as It instructed him to write letters to the seven churches in Asia . John turned towards the voice which tells us he repented to the Lord! As you may recall to repent is to turn to or away from something. In this case John turned to the Lord.
The voice of Jesus was for all to hear as it was, “loud…like a trumpet.”
That expresses a voice of power, a voice of strength.
John saw “seven golden lampstands..” Those lampstands were the name churches of Asia .
Those were to whom John was instructed to write as he witnessed all that was to be seen.
Revelation 13-20 and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man, "dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. 19 "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
John saw His master and sets forth His glorious description. So powerful was Jesus in appearance that the terms John used were almost overpowering as the sight of Jesus, standing before him, must have been almost overpowering. Seeing this Jesus sought to calm John and told him, “Do not be afraid,” and told John what he was seeing was indeed Jesus and that He, Jesus, was the living God, the ruler of everything and set forth His instructions of what John was to write and to whom He wanted John to write to.
Thus the letters to the churches of Asia were written.
PART 2
Jesus Christ, with a voice of supreme authority, bade John to write letter to the Seven Churches in Asia .
To the church in Ephesus AD 33 until AD 270
Revelation 2:1 1 "To the angel] of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. 5 Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Ephesus was an ancient city and existed at a time when the church, (Christianity) was in its glory.
In verses 2 and 3 Jesus lauds His church for its strong stances on those things that are seen as righteous. But, in verses 4 and 5 He expresses His disappointment in the lapses that are seen to exist. Ephesus has not only become, ‘lukewarm,’ in its expression of love for Christ but has become in danger of being removed as a church.
What has happened is that apostasy, a rejection of God’s Word has become prevalent within the church at Ephesus . They are found to be not only falling from God’s truths but are found guilty of some of the things that Nicolaitans practice. The Nicolaitans advocate sexual immorality and loose living.
Just as there are churches today that refuse to see God’s Words as supreme and seek to deny them as His will, they, as Ephesus , risk having God remove them from His blessings.
There are those that continue to walk in God’s way as they worship Him. They are blessed and are to receive the right to Paradise and wisdom. See Proverbs 3:13 and Corinthians 1:24.
Jesus informs them that they must repent from their ways. To repent is to turn from something or to something. Ephesus is to repent from its sinful ways and to turn to Jesus and cease its ways of apostasy. By reading God’s Word we are constantly taught that it is His will to be done and not ours!
This time period represents the beginning of the fall of Paganism, the rise of Christianity and the Apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church. Paganism is known to be falling as Christianity became more widespread. Christians known as, ‘Followers of the Way,’ were the first ‘churches’ as set forth in God’s Word. (Men are churches [the body] with Jesus Christ being the Head of the church.) However a church group, who named themselves as the Roman Catholic Church, sought to supplant God’s will with their own. Quartered in Rome they were a most formidable foe to true Christianity and remain as such today. They began teaching that Matthew 16:18-19, justifies and proves their existence as God’s church. In a sermon to follow Section 1, Parts 1, 2, and 3, I shall set forth many of the claims that are parts of the Roman Catholic teachings that have no basis in God’s Word, the Bible. 1 Timothy 4:1 and 2 Peter 2:1.
To the Church in Smyrna AD 270 until AD 530
Revelation 2: 8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. 9 I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Smyrna was a city that had many beautiful eating houses that were lighted like fairy houses. It was a city that had potholed streets and was extremely dangerous at night. Bandits, robbers and all sort of vandals roamed about seeking to prey on the unwary. Not only was Smyrna physically unsafe but it was spiritually dangerous. Many, claiming to be Christian roamed as they sought to ‘sell’ their ideas designed to steal the souls of the righteous. 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Thessalonians 2:7, 2 Peter 2:1 and Titus 1:16 set forth this clearly.
The ‘slander’ being used to debase Christian thought was not only by apostasy but by those who never believed in the first place.
There were people professing to be Jewish, to be Messianic in belief but who were saying all that was necessary to have their ideas and concepts placed ahead of God’s will. Romans 1:11 , John 1:11 , Acts 13:46 . Many professed to be of God but were not.
The true believers in Smyrna were told to expect suffering, and to expect 10 days of it. The ten days is explained in Ezekiel 4:16 to allow us to see 10 days as actually 10 years.
Roman Emperor Dioletian reigned from AD 302 to AD 312. Ten years during which Christians were horribly persecuted. Thus, the 10 days is explained.
During this persecution many man made laws were sought to be imposed upon true Christians. Man made laws as well as false beliefs. Why I mention this is to alert you to an age old adage. ‘Behind every false doctrine is a false spirit.’ Just like the present day and few past years we have seen man made laws be imposed upon Christians that just are not in God’s Word. I have delivered sermons on these but suffice it to say, eating meat on Friday will not land you in hell. Neither will dying your clothes, swimming with members of the opposite sex, dancing, going to movies and any other man made rule purporting to be God’s Law when it is not! Just like celibacy to be a Priest…it is just not so.
Just as God said to the church is Ephesus He also said to the church in Smyrna . Hear the Word, walk in the Spirit and you will not suffer that second death.
The time period of Smyrna depicts the synagogue of Satan, the Roman Catholic Church, rose as the persecutions began to come to a halt. However there remained true Christians to whom Jesus spoke.
To the Church in Pergamum AD 530 until AD 1530
Revelation 2:12 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13 I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives. 14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality. 15 Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
The double edged sword coming from the mouth of Jesus Christ is authority and truth undeniable. Jesus was telling the church in Pergamene the He was aware that Satan was attempting to assume the throne of God. Even with that being the case there were some that were remaining true to His Word. Though there were some that taught that Balaam, (Numbers 22:5-21, Thessalonians 2:10) through the teachings of Balak, were praying to idols, statues and even sacrificing foodstuffs as a manner of offering prayers to such idols there were those who remained faithful.
Just as the churches of Ephesus and Smyrna , the church in Pergamene was teaching and approving of sexual immorality and looseness.
It is at this time that Martin Luther broke from the Roman Catholic Church. His claims of praying to Mary and to Saints, such a Christopher, were a method of idolatry. It is well to learn that Christopher has been disproved to even exist!
Jesus is very firm as He demands that the church in Pergamene repent or He will fight them with truth! He says that those who listen He will feed and grant Salvation.
Jesus referred to the Roman Catholic Church as “where Satan lives,” depicting Rome . Not only was the RCC leading people astray but sexual immorality and idol worship continued to exist. (Much as it does today.)
(Closing prayers)
Heavenly Father, Lord Most High, please hear our prayer. Praise You and know that You are God and we bow before no other.
Grant us the wisdom to learn Your lessons and to gain the insight necessary to evangelize Your message to any that will heed the Word that You have given us. Allow us, as Your servants, to set forth that which can be awakening to all that listen. Lord, though their number is many, Your Word is that which teaches of Your love and Your granting of Paradise to any that walk the path You have given us to walk.
Father, we ask that You be with us, that You continue to teach us and that You bless our days. We thank You for all that You do and will do for each of us. You are El Shaddai and it is You we worship.
As Yahweh Saoboth, King of the angels, we ask that You send your angels to protect our military and see them safe. We ask that You guide our judges and elected officials as well as police to deal with us in a fair manner and with Your will as their guide. We ask that those that are charged with keeping this country safe receive Your protection and guidance. We ask that You protect our Christian brothers and sisters and bless their days with peace and mercy.
Father, You are most aware of the oppression that many face at the hands of their government
and people that would bring them harm. Lord, be with them and strengthen their resolve and feed them Your manna.
These things we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who is One with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever, Amen, amen and amen.
