INTERPRETATION OF THE MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES

Transcription

1 Manfred Beglaryan INTERPRETATION OF THE MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES "The Revelation of St. John the Divine" is a mysterious book that s difficult to understand but at the same time it s that very mysterious character of this book that attracts me. Prophecy was not transferred in a clear and understandable manner but rather in a mysterious and symbolic manner. Despite the difficulty in understanding this book I loved it and I always wanted to unravel the meaning and essence of the visions described therein. So I decided to restart studying it and to decipher Revelation, especially because in these two years I have written 34 articles and made for myself a small stock of knowledge. I think it would be unlikely for me to be able to change something significantly in the original interpretation of Revelation but I'll try. I'll start my interpretation of the seven churches to which Saint John the Evangelist was to write a letter at the request of Jesus Christ - "write what you see in a book and send to the churches." The meaning of the seven churches is symbolic because in those remote times the disciples of Jesus and apostle Paul had created a plenty of churches. Through close examination I observed certain patterns. In the letter to every church Lamb of God - 1. It is presented to the angels of the seven churches differently, 2. it has or does not have any claim to the Angels every church separately 3. according to certain criteria Lamb rewards the winners being

2 found in every church. "1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches ". (Rev. 1: 20). It also follows from the fact for Jesus Christ to present the bishops and the churches in the form of stars and candlesticks that they are symbols. Initially Lamb opens the mystery of the seven stars and the seven golden candlesticks and by that makes to understand that the rest of the secrets are to be unraveled by the Angels of the churches. By that he demands a high level of diligence, intelligence from the Angels of the churches, but on the other hand I am sure that the angels, that is, the bishops of all the churches unravel these mysteries. I am not an angel of the church, but I will try to solve them. Church Ephesus. 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 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: 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I

3 also hate. 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Rev.2: 1-7). Christ walking in the midst of these candlesticks means that life of all really existing churches and the situation of these churches is open to Him. He sees, controls and has an impact on each church. This church had left its first love. Here, under the guise of love the commands of Christ are hidden. The first Christians of all churches in the first century strictly observed the commandments of Christ, but in the course of time they began to consistently violate those and move away from the origins of the Christian faith. But Lamb of God promises to the winners, that is, those who remain faithful to Christ to death, to give their shaped up immortal souls - that will be the Angels - to eat of the tree of life. But the tree of life presents itself the kingdom of heaven - the parallel universe consisting of twelve sub-levels or worlds. Angels moving from time to time to higher levels or worlds as I understand, get proper knowledge and experience in each of these worlds. The angels that manage to get into the thinnest world join with God and become immortal. The soul is immortal! And "whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." I wrote in About all this in more detail in my article "THE OTHER WORLD OR DIVINE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE". Church Ephesus is a symbolic church, the righteous persons of which move away from the origins of the Christian faith with the laps of time unbeknownst to themselves. Church Smyrna. 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead,

4 and is alive; 2:9 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. 2:10 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. 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. (Rev.2 :8-11). "Thus saith the first and the last, which was dead, and came to life." I wrote about this in my article "FIRST AND SECOND DEATH OF HEAVENLY ANGELS". When the soul of the Lord - the Lamb of God was in our material world, in the body of Jesus, according to his own definition for the inhabitants of heaven the soul was dead - "which was dead," and when it returned to the Kingdom of God, it become alive - "and came to life". God sets a condition to the righteous to remain faithful until death, and only in this case they would receive the Crown of Life from him - the immortality of the soul. By the definition of God the Smyrna church is considered to be an ideal church, which is an institution of the ideal righteous persons. Righteous are those who live the Word of Truth, sown through constant reading and study of the Scriptures, and this righteous person strictly adheres to the prescriptions and the moral precepts of the Christian church. Lord found that Smyrna Church is a church the righteous persons of which inflict themselves to trials all their life and come out of them with honor. After death, they become angels and receive the crown of life. Becoming an angel after death the winning righteous person, if he wants to go through the second death and come back to earth to help the souls of men, shall not be hurt throughout his whole life on earth. These angels in the

5 Christian church become saints, many of which existed in the history of Christianity. Church Smyrna is a symbolic church, which consists mainly of the righteous that after the judgment of God shall become angels and receive the crown of life. Church Pergamos. 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 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. 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. (Rev.2 :12-17). Jesus shall accept the Angel that lives in Pergamum where Satan's throne is for his constancy in faith. But the Lord has a claim against the angel of the church of Pergamum where different teachings penetrated into the church, which is also symbolic, like the rest of the churches. In this church where Satan's throne is found, Lord s witness Antipas was assassinated, who is, I believe, the Word of God. These days, various false doctrines, such as the teachings of the Masons, the Illuminati, the Jesuits and others got into some Christian

6 churches and destroy these churches from within. But having the sharp two-edged sword, that is, the Holy Scripture, our Lord Jesus Christ threatened unto the angel of the church to come and fight with those being lost. The meaning of the battle is the very Lamb of God to explain and teach them the holly scripture in a way so that some of them will even become winners. "... Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you. (2Corinth.6: 17). Lord God in winning the throne of Satan promises to give spiritual food - the secret knowledge and the white stone on which His new name will be written that will be called in the future the newly-born Angel. The new name written on the white stone is assigned to the soul liberated from the physical body of a deceased person which is to become an angel and get into the Kingdom of Heaven. The wining Angel used to have a name before getting into the material world as the people in our world which it will lose along with the memory. Now that the angel has acquired a new memory it also gets a new name. I think as the people in our world the angels in heaven, too, have names and those are assigned by our Lord Jesus Christ. Church Pergamos is a symbolic church, where Satan's throne is settled and where different anti-christian teachings were founded. In these churches the word of God is almost entirely forgotten and at the request and with the help of the Lord the Angel will have to restore the Word of God in those. Church Thyatira. 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; 2:19 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. 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,

7 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. 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.2: 26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 2:28 And I will give him the morning star. 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev.2 :18-29). In the kingdom of heaven in spiritual beings have no eyes; they can see by the mind's eye, so the Son of God sees and experiences the minds and hearts of spiritual beings, wherever they may be, because his feet are like fine brass. He can be everywhere at the same time - both in the spiritual world and in the churches of the material world. "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven - a woman dressed in the sun, with moon under her feet, and with a crown of twelve stars upon her head" (Rev. 12-1). As we can see the church in Christianity is represented as a woman. And in the symbolic church of Thyatira woman Jezebel is represented as a church of people that commit whoredom and eat things sacrificed to idols. This church strives to oust the Christian church from Thyatira and

8 take its place. "And I will strike her children with death" means that Lord will leave the spiritual body of followers of those teachings without physical bodies, the souls of these people will not develop and after the judgment of God will go through the terrible second death. after the death of the physical body of the one having been righteous up to the end and the judgment of God Lord shall give power over the gentile and He shall rule them with a rod of iron, and He shall also give them the morning star - the bright future in the body of an Angel in the Heavenly Kingdom. Church Thyatira is a symbolic church, where both ministers and parishioners basically commit whoredom, and where the parishioners don't work at God-pleasing places and where they get paid and spend such paiment on food. Church Sardis. 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. 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.3: 3Remember 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. 3:4 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. 3:5 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. 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev.3 :1-6). Currently there exist the following main trends in Christianity: Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism that are divided into

9 many branches. There are many different Christian churches, confessions, denominations and sects. Lord Jesus Christ symbolically calls them the seven Spirits of God, led by the Angels - popes, patriarchs, catholicos and different leaders, and whom Lord Jesus Christ symbolically calls the seven stars. "You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead." You know very well the terrible state Christianity is in at the moment due that's because of the so-called "Angels" that brought the Christian beliefs to the extreme decline so that even the churches began to close up. But Christ thereby provides the angels a chance to repent. If an angel having fallen in his eyes becomes victorious he is being clothed in white clothes and his name is not removed from the book of life by God. Of course, this doesn't refer to all; there are some angels who have not defiled their garments and have the right to walk with the Lord in white cloths because they remained worthy, but unfortunately there are only a few of them. Church Sardis - a symbolic Church of senior Christian clergy, which has existed over one and a half thousand years. The activity of this clergy, no matter how paradoxical it may seem, was nearly most of the time aimed against the Christian church. I wrote about the higher Christian clergy in my article "THE COLLAPSE OF RELIGION OF ETERNAL LOVE". Church Philadelphia. 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth ; 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. 3:9 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

10 thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 3:10 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. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 3:12 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. 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev.3 :7-13). Referring to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, Jesus immediately addresses the righteous person - the bishop that represents the church of Philadelphia - the institution of the clergymen. I know thy works: behold, I have opened a door before you leading to the spiritual world, the world of happiness and love, and none can close it. In spite of the fact that you are alone - you kept my word, and hast not denied my name. "You have a little strength," because the Angel is alone in your church, because he has a lot of demands from and a lot of responsibilities towards his flock. Consisting of heterodox synagogue of Satan - that create false doctrine teachers, schismatics and heretics - are considered to be enemies of God. The Lord promises to put them in front of a ministers of the church on their knees to make them understand that He loved him and keep the angel from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the universe, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Continue to serve the Lord; if you do not do that there ll be found another loyal one that will get the crown, and you ll lose salvation - the eternal life. Overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of God, promises the Lord Jesus Christ. It's about a servant of the church, who will stand in the truth of God up to

11 the end, and who will remain with God. Church Philadelphia is a symbolic church of ministers. The Ministers of the Christian churches around the world belong to that church. Lord is pleased with their work and warns that they should remain with God up to the end. Church Laodicea. 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 3:17 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: 3:18 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. 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.3: 20Behold, 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. 3:21 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. 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev.3 :14-22). I think the message of Christ to the symbolic Loadicean Church is addressed to every Christian in the world. Many comments were written concerning the letters of the Son of Man to the Loadicean church, and I confess that I am not able to comment better than the experts with whose works I got acquainted. I would Just add from myself that Loadicean church is a church of our days which was degraded and is in "half-dead" state.

12 Since the late nineteenth century because of criminal inactivity of Christian spiritual leaders instead of beginning to form up Christian civilization, there started the formation of technological civilization. As we have seen this has led to the complete collapse of Christianity and in the future will lead to the expected death of the majority of people on earth and the Apocalypse. Church Laodicea is a church of people of the dying civilization. But humanity, of course, will not be completely destroyed and all of the history will be repeated in the future. At this point the messages addressed to the whole of the Christian Church and each Christian individually will end. So I basically finished the interpretation of the section of Jesus Christ s appeal to the seven churches and came to the conclusion that all of this has a logical explanation. For the human soul to become an angel after death and to move into the spiritual realm, the man must pass certain tests during his lifetime and become righteous. Man must become worthy to be called Divine creature and become a citizen of parallel spiritual universe, where there is no place for the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars.
