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, a činiť pokánie, and do the first works; inak k tebe rýchlo prídem, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent
- The church of Smyrna: Nebojte sa nič z tých vecí, ktoré trpíš: hľa, diabol niektorých z vás vrhá do väzenia, že vy môžete byť súdení; a budete mať súženie desať dní:Buďte verní 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, jesť veci obetované modlám, a smilniť. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Čiňte pokánie; inak k tebe rýchlo prídem, a budem proti nim bojovať mečom mojich úst
- The church of Thyatira: Thou suffered that woman Jezebel, ktorá sa nazýva prorokyňou, učiť a zvádzať mojich služobníkov k smilstvu, a jesť veci obetované modlám. A dal som jej priestor, aby činila pokánie zo svojho smilstva; A nečinila pokánie. Hľa, Hodím ju do postele, a tí, ktorí s ňou cudzoložia do veľkého súženia, ibaže činia pokánie zo svojich skutkov. A zabijem jej deti smrťou; a všetky cirkvi spoznajú, že Ja som ten, ktorý skúma opraty a srdcia: a dám každému z vás podľa skutkov vašich
The church of Sardis: Poznám tvoje diela, že máš meno, ktorým žiješ, a umenie mŕtve. Buďte bdele, a posilniť veci, ktoré zostávajú, ktoré sú pripravené zomrieť: Lebo som nenašiel tvoje diela dokonalé pred Bohom. Pamätajte preto, ako si dostal a počul, A držte rýchlo, a činiť pokánie. Ak teda nebudeš pozerať, Prídem na teba ako zlodej, A ty nevieš, akú hodinu na teba prídem
- The church of Philadelphia: Poznám tvoje diela: hľa, 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. Hľa, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; hľa, 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, Tiež ťa budem držať od hodiny pokušenia, ktoré prídu na celý svet, vyskúšať ich, ktorí prebývajú na zemi. Hľa, Prídem rýchlo: držte tak rýchlo, čo si, že nikto neberie tvoju korunu
- The church of Laodiceans: Poznám tvoje diela, 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, and naked: 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. Toľko, koľko milujem, karhám a karhám:buď preto horlivý, a činiť pokánie. Hľa, I stand at the door, and knock: 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, a kráčať za Duchom; po vôli Božej, then every church and every person, kto 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, a dá mu biely kameň, 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, a pred jeho anjelmi
- 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
