The Church of Philadelphia
Faithfulness is the main theme surrounding The Church of Philadelphia. The Church was very small in comparison to the others. Jesus Christ promises them that the door to them will never be shut. Some Bible scholars believe this to mean that all true believers,will be saved from the coming Tribulation. To believe that this is even possible,let us consider how most of The Apostles were beheaded and how The true believers today are faithful not just with their words,but also their actions, willing to die for the faith.The martyrs of Jesus Christ have been persecuted and tortured. Jesus Christ, is our example, He was tortured. Let us rightly divide The Word of God, only by doing so can we arrive at the Truth and not be found naked without His word.Let us be prepared for The ultimate Antichrist 666. In other words Do Not Be Fooled ! Be Watchful,Be Prepared ! The same Bible scholars will not explain to you that we must be obedient to His Word to receive the promise. We are paid for with the Extreme Sacrifice on the Cross.”I know thy works,behold,I have set before thee an open door, (Jesus Christ) and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my WORD,and has not denied my name”. Rev.3:8 The Church of Philadelphia was in a valley, on the main road from Sardis, going to the port near Smyrna. Jesus Christ has all the Power, He holds the key.The Almighty can open or shut the door,nobody else,not you or me or Satan himself. The members of this Church pleased The Lord. They believed The Word of God and obey it. Are you obeying God`s Word ? tomorrow is not promised,be prepared for Judgement Day ! There were many Jews in Philadelphia,they came together in a building called a Synagogue. They thought they were God`s people, but they were wrong and to this day the majority still are. They said they were Jews, born Jews,but a real Jew is not just a physical Jew but a Spiritual Jew with a circumcision of the Spiritual Heart. Under the Seventh and perfect BLOOD of Jesus Christ. Our Mediator & High Priest. Jesus Christ will write three names on all true believers. “ 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”. Rev. 3:12 Elder: Felix Mirabal Ph.D.
