><>...Lee, thanks so very much for all of your efforts...><>
they have not gone unnoticed by me. I have read most of them and will finish the rest some time within the next few days.
There were certainly some very informative issues to read and I enjoyed them.
The two churches which our Lord Jesus had only good to say about, i.e. Smyrna and Philadelphia, also had two very common issues they shared, that being our Lord speaking of The Synagogue of satan.
It appears that only these two churches knew of what He spoke concerning that all important issue. And since these two churches were the only two out of the seven that knew of it, we ought make certain that we know of it also in its entirety.
It is also ironic that you say that the parable of the tares relates to this church in some fashion, however, you do not go into it as I believed that you would. The parable of the tares is of great signifance as it relates to the synagogue of satan and has an enormous impact on knowing why these two churches were in fact the only two with Jesus's full blessings.
It also has a very significant relationship to the Key of David, Hidden Manna,and the parable of the Fig tree.
Lee I was intending to finish this in one post but something has come up and I will have to get back to you in awhile.
Have a blessed day Shalom...><> |
