Letters to 7 Churches - overview
#1 Ephesus - left thy first love
[Rev 2:1 KJV] Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
[Rev 2:2 KJV] I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
[Rev 2:3 KJV] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
[Rev 2:4 KJV] Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
[Rev 2:5 KJV] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
[Rev 2:6 KJV] But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
[Rev 2:7 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
#2 Smyrna - the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days
[Rev 2:8 KJV] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
[Rev 2:9 KJV] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
[Rev 2:10 KJV] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
[Rev 2:11 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
#3 Pergamum -eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
[Rev 2:12 KJV] And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
[Rev 2:13 KJV] I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan’s seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
[Rev 2:14 KJV] But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
[Rev 2:15 KJV] So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
[Rev 2:16 KJV] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
[Rev 2:17 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].
#4 Thyatira- thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
[Rev 2:18 KJV] And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
[Rev 2:19 KJV] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.
[Rev 2:20 KJV] Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
[Rev 2:21 KJV] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
[Rev 2:22 KJV] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
[Rev 2:23 KJV] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
[Rev 2:24 KJV] But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
[Rev 2:25 KJV] But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
[Rev 2:26 KJV] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[Rev 2:27 KJV] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
[Rev 2:28 KJV] And I will give him the morning star.
[Rev 2:29 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
#5 Sardis - hast a name that thou livest, and art dead
[Rev 3:1 KJV] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
[Rev 3:2 KJV] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
[Rev 3:3 KJV] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
[Rev 3:4 KJV] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
[Rev 3:5 KJV] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
[Rev 3:6 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
#6 Philadelphia - Faithful - I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
[Rev 3:7 KJV] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
[Rev 3:8 KJV] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
[Rev 3:9 KJV] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
[Rev 3:10 KJV] Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
[Rev 3:11 KJV] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
[Rev 3:12 KJV] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
[Rev 3:13 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
#7 Laodicea -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:
[Rev 3:14 KJV] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
[Rev 3:15 KJV] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
[Rev 3:16 KJV] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
[Rev 3:17 KJV] 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:
[Rev 3:18 KJV] 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.
[Rev 3:19 KJV] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
[Rev 3:20 KJV] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[Rev 3:21 KJV] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
[Rev 3:22 KJV] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Mark of the Beast / End Times -
Babylon is Fallen
[Rev 18:1 KJV] And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[Rev 18:2 KJV] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
[Rev 18:3 KJV] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[Rev 18:4 KJV] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
[Rev 18:5 KJV] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
[Rev 18:6 KJV] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
[Rev 18:7 KJV] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
[Rev 18:8 KJV] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.
[Rev 18:9 KJV] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
[Rev 18:10 KJV] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
[Rev 18:11 KJV] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
[Rev 18:12 KJV] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
[Rev 18:13 KJV] And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
[Rev 18:14 KJV] And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
[Rev 18:15 KJV] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
[Rev 18:16 KJV] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
[Rev 18:17 KJV] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
[Rev 18:18 KJV] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!
[Rev 18:19 KJV] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
[Rev 18:20 KJV] Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
[Rev 18:21 KJV] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
[Rev 18:22 KJV] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
[Rev 18:23 KJV] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
[Rev 18:24 KJV] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Beast From Sea and Earth / Mark of Beast Established
[Rev 13:1 KJV] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
[Rev 13:2 KJV] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
[Rev 13:3 KJV] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
[Rev 13:4 KJV] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[Rev 13:5 KJV] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
[Rev 13:6 KJV] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[Rev 13:7 KJV] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
[Rev 13:8 KJV] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[Rev 13:9 KJV] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[Rev 13:10 KJV] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
[Rev 13:11 KJV] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
[Rev 13:12 KJV] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[Rev 13:13 KJV] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
[Rev 13:14 KJV] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[Rev 13:15 KJV] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[Rev 13:16 KJV] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[Rev 13:17 KJV] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[Rev 13:18 KJV] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
If any man worship the beast and his image,
[Rev 14:8 KJV] And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[Rev 14:9 KJV] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[Rev 14:10 KJV] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[Rev 14:11 KJV] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
[Rev 14:12 KJV] Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
[Rev 14:13 KJV] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
[Rev 14:15 KJV] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
[Rev 14:16 KJV] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
[Rev 14:17 KJV] And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
[Rev 14:18 KJV] And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
[Rev 14:19 KJV] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
[Rev 14:20 KJV] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.
Jesus - Wheat, tares, harvest end of world
[Matt 13:1 KJV] The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
[Matt 13:2 KJV] And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
[Matt 13:3 KJV] And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
[Matt 13:4 KJV] And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
[Matt 13:5 KJV] Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
[Matt 13:6 KJV] And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
[Matt 13:7 KJV] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
[Matt 13:8 KJV] But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
[Matt 13:9 KJV] Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[Matt 13:10 KJV] And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
[Matt 13:11 KJV] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
[Matt 13:12 KJV] For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
[Matt 13:13 KJV] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
[Matt 13:14 KJV] And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
[Matt 13:15 KJV] For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
[Matt 13:16 KJV] But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
[Matt 13:17 KJV] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
[Matt 13:18 KJV] Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
[Matt 13:19 KJV] When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
[Matt 13:20 KJV] But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
[Matt 13:21 KJV] Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
[Matt 13:22 KJV] He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
[Matt 13:23 KJV] But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
[Matt 13:24 KJV] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
[Matt 13:25 KJV] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
[Matt 13:26 KJV] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
[Matt 13:27 KJV] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
[Matt 13:28 KJV] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
[Matt 13:29 KJV] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
[Matt 13:30 KJV] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
[Matt 13:31 KJV] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
[Matt 13:32 KJV] Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
[Matt 13:33 KJV] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
[Matt 13:34 KJV] All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
[Matt 13:35 KJV] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
[Matt 13:36 KJV] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
[Matt 13:37 KJV] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
[Matt 13:38 KJV] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
[Matt 13:39 KJV] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[Matt 13:40 KJV] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[Matt 13:41 KJV] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[Matt 13:42 KJV] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[Matt 13:43 KJV] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[Matt 13:44 KJV] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
[Matt 13:45 KJV] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
[Matt 13:46 KJV] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
[Matt 13:47 KJV] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[Matt 13:48 KJV] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
[Matt 13:49 KJV] So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[Matt 13:50 KJV] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[Matt 13:51 KJV] Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
