4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee

Hmmmmm, this part is powerful. It means a but. Which means as believers we must continually check our standing with God. We must ensure we are still standing on Him.

because thou hast left thy first love.

This signified Backsliding. I've once been here.

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

And hast borne, and hast patience,

This signified, the long-suffering exhibited by this believer. It signified how long he hold on to His commandments.

and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

This signified, the period of waiting for Christ's promises and despite the temptation, he or she stood firm.

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:

I was about to ask God, if a believer is a Backslider, why is the Holy Spirit still in that person because I thought the Holy Spirit doesn't stay in a temple that's not Holy. Then I got to this verse. So let's break it down.

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,

This signified, that this believer is faithful when it comes to God's work. He doesn't joke with the things of God. He knows how hold on to God despite challenges and circumstances.

and how thou can't not bear them which are evil:


This signified that this believer don't associate with people who don't love God or the things of God.

and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

This signified, that he also has the gift of discernment.

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;

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;

Sir and Ma, this is the King of kings, The Lord of lords directing a letter to the angels of the church and not the church directly(I'm just seeing this part). So why will Christ direct a letter to an angel and not the church directly? I was taken to Ezekiel 48:35

35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.

I can't see anything.. .. ... . Okayyyyy I've seen it.

The angel signify God's presence. And the church signify a believer. And what's the presence of God in a believer's life? The Holy Spirit. Wow. Ist Corinthians 6:19 says

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Sir and Ma, Christ is addressing this letters to a believer. To you and I who carries the testimony of Christ. Who's baptized by the water and Spirit. While the name Ephesus signified the stages you and I are as believers. Wow.

These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,

So what are the seven stars? Revelation 1:20 says

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.

They are the Holy Spirit of God. So does that mean there are 7 categories of Holy Spirit in a believer's life? And God told me, it signified the level of God's presence in a believer's life. Ephesians 3:20 says
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Sir and Ma, the level of His presence depends on what kind of believer we are. Christ holding the seven stars in His right hand signified His enduring love. His enduring faithfulness even in our unfaithfulness. Romans 8:35 says
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?


who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

According to revelation 1:20 The Seven golden candlesticks signified the seven churches which is you and I. Sir and Ma, Christ walking in the midst signified His ever ready presence only if we allow Him to come in. Revelation 3:20 says

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.

Throughout this week I'll will working on the 7 Churches. Hopefully revelation will continue flowing in. This is my 11th thread on the book of Revelation. Check my profile for the previous threads.

Revelation 2:1-7

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 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.

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.

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

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.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city

This is referring to the Vatican city.

which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

And indeed it's influence is far reaching. It's power and what they can do with it and what they have done with it is indeed frightening.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Refer to the 10 horns' thread. Go to my profile page to read it.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the LovePeddler, and shall make her desolate and Unclad, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Refer to the 10 horns' thread. Go to my profile page to read it.

15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the LovePeddler sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the LovePeddler sitteth

This is still the angel describing the Scarlet beast and the Scarlet woman. The angel was describing the powerful influence the Vatican city has.

are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Over the people and nations of the earth.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

I've observe that verses that seems direct and easy to understand are mostly coded. So I'll be discussing this in details when I'm working on the 7th Angel with the trumpet and the Scroll. Hopefully, revelation will come.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Refer to the 10 horns' thread. Go to my profile page to read it.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Refer to the 10 horns' thread. Go to my profile page to read it.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Refer to the 7 heads(The 7 Kings that were) and the beast from the sea's thread. Go to my profile page to read it.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Refer to the 7 heads(The seven kings that were). Check my profile page to find the thread.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom

God has raised a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious stone, a cornerstone for a sure foundation.

The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Which signified the seven kings that were are sitting on the seven mountains on which the Vatican city sitteth.

Which means the 7 Kings that were got their power from the same source as the Vatican city. So where does the Vatican city get his power from?

It got his power from the papacy which is a monarchical form of government. It's autocratic in nature. If you check the seven Kings, you will see that they all got their power from a source that cannot be question.

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

This verse is powerful because it's full of powerful revelations which I will explain in details when I'm working on the devil bound for 1000years. But I'll touch it a little bit.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not

This signified that the devil who ceded his throne, his power to Pope John Paul II(Who acted as a proxy in absence) was absence at the point John receive the revelation. So where was the devil? (The devil bound for 1 thousand years will shed more light)

and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:

This signified the end of the devil's Brundage and Sir and Ma it has ended.

and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,


Hmmmm.. .. another powerful revelation. This signified the only people who will not be fool by the Devil's charade are the 12 foundational members who will sit at the 12 thrones and judge with Christ.

So what's this charade that will deceive all except this 12?

It's boundage.

when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is


This signified after the devil was released from boundage, he will be permitted to rule for a short period. So watch out for the devil bound for a thousand year's thread.

7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?

This is the angel who bore the testimony of Jesus Christ asking John the reason behind his amazement who was shocked by the imagery he saw.

I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,


This is still the angel who was about to describe the Scarlet woman. At this I'll be speaking in plain English. The angel was about to describe the Vatican city.

and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns

Still the angel preparing to describing beast from the sea who was pope John Paul II, the seven heads who were the 7 Kings that were and Pope John Paul II was the 7th and the 10 horns are the 10 Kings for an 1hr who worked with him and kept silence in the face of evil due to their personal ambition.

Obsessor and oppressor please keep your wailing off my thread.

Thread updated.

Thread updated.

I'm possessed.. .. I'm obsessed. So the next thing is to discredit me. Tell the people who sent you that you didn't meet me.

I'm just starting. I've not gotten to the halfway yet. 24 more threads to work on just on the book of Revelation and yet you've started wailing.

marvelling:
I think you are obsessed

Are you not equally obsessed by observing it? Anyway I'm obsessed with the Holy Spirit.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman

This signified the beast from the earth will be furious after the woman clothe with the Sun carry out her great commission because she will be a snare to them and remain untouchable.

and went to make war with the remnant of her seed

This signified, that when the beast from the earth realized you're untouchable, he will turn his anger against fellow believers who didn't Bow down to the plans and programmes which has been activated.

which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ


This signified that the period the woman will be hidden from the devil will be a period of great oppositions to believers. It will be a period of great test to all believers who are determined to keep God's laws and hold on to the His promises to Christ.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood

This signified, every oppositions she will face in carrying out her assignments will be challenged by God. The host of heaven will arise against them.

which the dragon cast out of his mouth

This signified their plans and programmes against her will emanate from the power of darkness.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood


This still signified the great oppositions she will face after carrying out her assignment from the power of darkness.

that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood

This signified their aims is her total destruction. The devil knows that her existence signified the end of his reign and it's existence.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle

She will be uncatchable.

That she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time


This signified that after her great commission, she will be kept from opposition for the purpose of refuel and more instructions for other assignments for an unstated period.

from the face of the serpent

This signified the power of darkness will be render redundant throughout this period.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,

This signified the beast from the earth who got his power from the beast from the sea. Okayyyyy if you've not read my previous thread, this is where you will start getting confuse.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

After this I saw in the night visions

This is Daniel testifying to what he saw in a vision and he was describing the beast from the sea.

and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly;

This signified the level of power the beast from the sea possessed in comparison to the other beasts and how he used it to deceptively oppress the people.

and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces,

This signified he speaks and it becomes law. He commands and it stood fast. He used his words to silence opposition.

and stamped the residue with the feet of it:

What residue did he stamped with his feet? What did he stamped with his authority?

Let's go to the third beast and find out the residue he left behind. Daniel 7:6

6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it

.

If you have not read the 7 Kings, you will be confused because I'll only be emphasizing on the 4 heads here.

the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it[

From this point I'll start speaking plain English. Francis of Assisi founded the following 4 organizations during his life and they are:
The men's Order of Friars Minor,
The women’s Order of Saint Clare,
The Third Order of Saint Francis
The Custody of the Holy Land

He used this organizations to achieve his objective and what was his biggest objective?

Barely a month after being made a pope, Pope Francis in 1978 made this statement about Francis of Assisi

This is asked of you, holy son of the Church, son of the Italian land, by Pope John Paul II, son of the Polish land. And he hopes that you will not refuse him it, that you will help him. You have always been kind and you have always hastened to bring help to all those who appealed to you.

http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/speeches/1978/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19781105_assisi.html

Again what was the objective that emanate from Francis of Assisi and was given a seal of Authority by Pope_John_Paul_II? I was taken to this thread.
http://www.stfrancisadoration.org/pope%20john%20paul%20ii.htm

Ladies and gentlemen I present the biggest deception by the devil in tricking believers to worship him.. .. . EUCHARISTIC ADORATION.

#Deception

Everyone does have different view, take and understanding on the Book of Revelations. John knew what he saw.

Your opinionship on the Book of Revelations is enlightening but, how true?

verdict

The Book of Revelations is in a symbolic language which was understood in the former days of john in comparison with the latter time(now) which cannot easily be decipherable. The Holy Spirit reveals...

Matthew 20:23

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

You met me well. You met me at the time the Holy Spirit have broken me, if not I would have blasted you off this thread. My job is not to convince anyone. I've delivered my assignment, it's left for the Holy Spirit to do the conviction.
