Sedam crkava

Mudrost je sagradila svoju kuću, ona je isklesala svojih sedam stupova: she hath killed her beasts; pomiješala je svoje vino; ona je takođe opremila svoj sto (Izreke 9:1-2)

Sedam crkava

Jesus has built His house upon the seven churches. The seven churches are also the golden candlesticks. And in the midst of the golden candlesticks is where Jesus walks.

Sedam crkava, who are mentioned in the Book of Revelation are:

The church of Ephesus
The church of Smyrna
The church of Pergamos je najbolji.
The church of Thyatira
The church of Sardis
The church of Philadelphia
The church of Laodiceans

Jesus advises the seven churches

Jesus gives the following advice to the seven churches:

The church of Ephesus: I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, i pokaj se, and do the first works; ili ću tebi brzo doći do tebe, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent

The church of Smyrna: Ne plaši se ničega od onih stvari koje ćeš patiti: evo, đavo će neke od vas baciti u tamnicu, da vam se sudi; i imat ćete nevolju deset dana:budi vjeran do smrti

The church of Pergamos: Thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, jesti stvari žrtvovane idolima, i za izvršenje blude. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Pokajati se; ili ću tebi brzo doći do tebe, i borit će se protiv njih sa mačem mojih usta

The church of Thyatira: Thou suffered that woman Jezebel, koja sebe naziva proročicom, Da podučavam i zavodim svoje sluge da počine blud, i da jedu stvari žrtvovane idolima. I dao sam joj prostora da se pokaje za svoj blud; i nije se pokajala. Gledajte, Baciću je u krevet, A oni koji s njom čine preljubu u veliku nevolju, osim što se ne pokaju za svoja djela. I ubit ću joj djecu smrću; i sve crkve će znati da sam ja onaj koji istražuje uzde i srca: i dat ću svakome od vas po djelima vašim

The church of Sardis: Znam tvoja djela, da imaš ime da živiš, i umjetnost mrtva. Budite oprezni, i ojačati ono što ostaje, koji su spremni da umru: jer nisam našao tvoja djela savršena pred Bogom. Sjeti se, dakle, kako si primio i čuo, i drži se čvrsto, i pokaj se. Ako dakle nećeš gledati, Doći ću na tebe kao lopov, i nećeš znati u koji ću čas doći na tebe

The church of Philadelphia: Znam tvoja djela: evo, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Gledajte, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; evo, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patients, I ja ću te sačuvati od časa iskušenja, koji će doći na ceo svet, da iskušam one koji žive na zemlji. Gledajte, Dolazim brzo: drži to čvrsto što imaš, da niko ne uzme tvoju krunu

The church of Laodiceans: Znam tvoja djela, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 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, i goli: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; i bijelu odjeću, 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. Koliko volim, Ja korim i kažnjavam:budite stoga revni, i pokaj se. Gledajte, I stand at the door, i kucati: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

What is the reward for born-again Christians?

Keep Jesus His commandments and take His advice, which He gave to the seven churches. Listen to what the Spirit says to the church. If you hold on to the Word, i hodaj za Duhom; po volji Božijoj, then every church and every person, ko je born-again and therefore belongs to the church, shall overcome and shall receive the following reward:

Jesus will give to eat of the Tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
Jesus will give him the crown and shall not be hurt of the second death
Jesus will give him to eat of the hidden manna, i daće mu bijeli kamen, and in the stone a new name is written, which no man knows saving he that receives it
Jesus will give him power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as Jesus received of His Father. And Jesus will give him the morning star
Jesus will clothe him in white raiment, and He will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but He will confess his name before His Father, i pred svojim anđelima
Jesus will make him a pillar in the temple of His God, and he shall go no more out: and Jesus will write upon him the name of His God, and the name of the city of His God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from His God: and Jesus will write upon him his new name
Jesus will grant him to sit with Him in His throne, even as He also overcame, and is set down with His Father in His throne
