THE 7 CHURCHES REVELATION | |
| Keep2theCode User ID: 20545539 11/28/2012 12:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some thoughts of mine on this... -- note that these are written to CHURCHES, to Christians, and not to those in Israel or Jerusalem; at this point (A.D. 95) the Temple had been destroyed and Jerusalem sacked -- the fake Jews are the ones persecuting the churches, so they are Jews who have rejected their Messiah -- the fakes Jews are called "synagogue of Satan", and synagogue is essentially equivalent to "church" or "assembly". So the fakes are organized into congregations, and thus claiming to be Christians as well as Jews. -- Today, there are groups of Christians who advocate a return to Judaism in some degree, going by names like Hebrew Roots, Sacred Name, and Messianics. On one end are those preaching the right gospel but encouraging the practice of some festivals and terminology; on the other end are those demanding complete observance of Torah law. -- the important thing is that this synagogue of Satan was claiming to be both Jewish and Christian yet persecuting the churches -- historically, Polycarp was martyred by enraged Jews from Smyrna, so there was an immediate fulfillment for them (taken from my audio series at [link to audio.fether.net] ) note on audio: obviously I said Isaac when I meant Ishmael at first Last Edited by Keep2theCode on 11/28/2012 12:09 PM Those who know all the answers haven't heard all the questions. |
