The Angels/Messengers to the 7 Congregations: Continued [Re-Edit]

In the opening verses of the Book of Revelation we are told that John was to write down all that he was told by Christ. Christ received the Revelation of these future events by God [Yahweh] his Father, and what he [Christ] told John concerning these events, John was then to write down and was then to send the Messages to the Angels [Messengers] of the Congregations involved.

These are not literal Angels as one would think when the word would spring to mind, but the term here is applied to mean Messengers of a more human kind.

These Messages written by John under divine inspiration were not written to the body what has come to be known as "Christendom".

Nor are the Messages written for a the period of time from when John penned these up until now [the so called 7 ages of the Church].

These Messages where written for one specific time period and describe what would be happening with regards worship as a whole during the time period they were written for.

When we examine these opening texts, we find that they are for one particular group only, and the texts indicate to us what rewards these ones will receive if they remain faithful in their given assignments.

These Messengers are under Christs control. They are under the control of no man and no man made church with man made rules. The Bible account in Revelation describes these Messengers as being stars that are in the very palm of Christ himself. He is the one that will be directing these chosen ones in the work he has cut out for them to do.

The Rewards

* They will be allowed to eat from the Tree of Life, the Tree that Adam was forbidden to eat from so as to gain eternal life [here upon the Earth].

* They will not be affected by the second death. They will live and have bodies like Christ, who was the first fruits of the resurection from the dead, and over these individuals the second death will have no power.

* They will eat of the Hidden Manna, they will also receive a stone with a name written on it that only they know, and this may have something to do with their roles in the future Kingdom in which they will rule alongside Christ here upon the Earth.

* They will sit on thrones alongside Christ [here upon the Earth] and they will judge, and will have authority over the Nations of the Earth. When Jesus spoke of his Fathers house having many rooms, like any Government today, there will be many rooms [offices] in the Kingdom of God, and Christ will require loyal men to work in this Government and in these offices for it to work the way it has since long been promised and prophesied to.

* They will receive the crowns of life, and their names will be written in the Book of Life.

* They will remain as pillars forever in the Kingdom of God [Yahweh], and they will also never leave this Temple.

* Some of these Mesengers will be spared from the hour of testing that is coming upon the whole of the Earth.

* They will sit on Thrones and rule with Christ if they remain faithful.

These individuals are lamps and lights to the world. And these Messages were written for one specific time period that has not even begun yet. This time period is known as the time of the end, and when the time of the end begins, it will be the most horrific time in all human history, and all flesh will go through this crucible of testing when it begins for real.

These Messages are written for the period known as the time of the end, and we do not know when the time of the end will begin, because we do not know the chronology of the 4^th Beast and when it will arise, the 4th Beast out of which Antichrist will arise to rule supremely.

These Messages are not written for Christendom, they are not written for a body that is already estranged from God because of the very things they preach, teach practice, and make other proselytes of.

But, these Messages are written for the members of the body of Christ and what they should be doing in order for their worship and service to be acceptable to God.

These Messengers may be Pre-Tribulation Message Bearers that have the duty of carrying out this office in the deliverance of these warnings.

The number 7 does not mean a literal number of 7 Messengers, but the number 7 signifies the “perfect” or "complete" number of individulas that will be required to carry out this function when the time to do so arises.

These Message Bearers of the 7 Congregations are not part of the 144000.

Unlike the 144000 come through the Great Tribulation together with the Great Crowd that no man can number [here upon the Earth], these Message bearers will face persecution, they will be tested 10 times [completely in every aspect], they will be put into prison, and some may even face death, and all because of their duty to bear witness about Jesus Christ.

This bearing witness about Christ has not only concerns witnessing about his life, death and resurrection, but more to do with preaching about the Gospel of the Kingdom in which Jesus Christ is the key and central figure in that Kingdom and new creation of God [Yahweh].

Again, these Messages are not directed at Christendom, for Christendom has alienated and divorced itself totally from God and his Christ.

Members of Christendom have not listened to or even obeyed Christ so as to turn around, repent, be healed and be forgiven of their sin; and to go on and proclaim the Kingdom of God. Instead they have become disobedient to the Message of Christ and have become propagators of another Message and of another Jesus.

These Messages are directed at members who are going to make up the body of Christ, and the admonition is, “whoever has an ear, let him hear what the spirit [of God] says”.

These Messages are a wake up call to the members of the Body of Christ.

Are you listening to the message of Jesus Christ today and acting accordingly to all that he commands in order for you to be saved? If not, then wouldn’t “now’ be the time to do so while we can still call today “today”?
