AND POVERTY(BUT THOU ART RICH)

You don1 have alot(but you do have alot of knowledge, which means you are dch spiritually)

Now Jesus is going to say something very strange. Do you have ears to hear?.

AND I KNOW THE BLASPHEMY OF THEM WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE NOT, BUTARE OF THE

SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN.

Jesus is saying there are people who are speaking evil things and they claim to be Jews, But they are not Jews they belong to Satan. They say they are God's people, but they are satan's people. Did you know that these people exsist?

Does Jesus talk about this anyplace else? Revelation 3:9; John 8:44; I John 3:12.

Did you know there are people claming to be Jews, but they are not descendants of Judah. That is what the word means in greek. We know Judah is one of the twelve tdbes of Israel. This is important for us to know or Jesus would not have told us. Out of the seven churches only two mention this. The other live do not know about this.

Revelation 2:10

FEAR NONE OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THOU SHALT SUFFER:

Jesus is saying don't be afraid when things start to happen to you, during that time.

In Matthew 10:22 it says "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he thta endureth to the end shall be saved." What happens if you don't endure to the end?

Now Jesus is going to tell this group what will happen to them dudng the time "the antichrist" is on earth. We all know "the antichrist" is devil.

Revelation 2:10

BEHOLD THE DEVIL SHALL CAST SOME OF YOU INTO PRISON, THAT YOU MAY BE TRIED;

This word "tried" means tested. The reason you will be put into pdson is to see how strong your faith is. Do you trust the Father or have you put your trust in some person?

Did Jesus talk about christians being delivered up? Read Matthew 10:17-22, Matthew 24:8-13, Mark 13:9-13, Daniel 11:33-35.

Revelation 2:10

AND YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION TEN DAYS: BE THOU FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE THEE A CROWN

OF LIFE.

Jesus is saying you will be tested, but if you keep your faith in God,you will receive a crown of life. You will be apart of the kingdom of God. Crown is for myality.

Revelation 2:11

HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHATTHE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES;

Jesus is saying sharpen up and listen.

HE THAT OVERCOMETH SHALL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH.

First you have to overcome. Ask yourself overcome what? Overcome the lies of"the antichrist" and keep your faith in God.
