okay so now we come to the second part
0:05
of our study of Revelation chapter
0:08
1 and we are now going to look at Verses
0:11
4 to 8 and this is the greetings and the
0:17
doxology
0:18
now it says the following John to the
0:22
seven churches in the province of Asia
0:26
Grace and peace to you from him who is
0:28
and who was and who is to come and from
0:31
the seven spirits before his throne and
0:34
from Jesus Christ who is the faithful
0:36
witness the first born from the dead and
0:40
the ruler of the kings of the earth now
0:43
let's stand still there for a moment
0:46
first of all it says the seven churches
0:48
in the province of Asia now these seven
0:51
churches were in what was referred to in
0:54
those days as Asia Minor which is modern
0:58
day Turkey okay
1:00
now it's very significant that these
1:03
seven churches were in Turkey because
1:07
turkey as we know it is a very
1:10
militant uh Islam
1:14
country um turkey the prime minister is
1:18
actually pushing very hard to have
1:22
turkey uh function as a caliphate now a
1:27
caliphate is the Muslim law that says
1:30
that if
1:32
you uh don't convert to Islam you should
1:36
be killed okay so it's very harsh
1:41
anti-christian
1:43
islamist
1:45
rule okay now even in those
1:49
days being a Christian in Asia
1:53
Minor being a member of one of the seven
1:56
churches was not easy okay you faced
2:00
persecution on a whole other scale okay
2:04
on a persecution on a massive
2:07
scale so here we
2:11
see John writing to these seven
2:14
churches and he greets
2:17
them with Grace and peace he sends them
2:21
Grace he wishes them Grace and peace
2:24
from him who is and who was and who is
2:27
to
2:27
come now you have three tenses here you
2:31
have the past the present and the future
2:33
and this obviously indicates that the
2:37
almighty God creator of Heaven and Earth
2:39
the god of Abraham Isaac and
2:43
Jacob is the one who
2:46
was he's in the past he is he's in the
2:50
present and he will be he is in the
2:53
future so he's Almighty he's
2:56
omnipresent he's not subject to time is
3:00
also not subject to space and matter
3:04
okay we human beings in our reality that
3:07
we live in here on Earth we are subject
3:10
to time space and matter the Triune God
3:14
God the father Jesus Christ and the Holy
3:16
Spirit is not subject to time space and
3:19
matter okay
3:22
so he
3:24
says he he mentions the seven spirits
3:27
Before the Throne of God now the seven
3:31
spirits uh refers to the Sevenfold
3:34
Ministry of the holy spirit of God so
3:37
when he talks about the seven spirits
3:38
Before the Throne of God is actually
3:41
referring to the holy spirit in the
3:42
sense of a Sevenfold Ministry that the
3:46
Holy Spirit
3:47
has uh when you read the
3:49
gospel and you you read the gospels uh
3:53
especially the Gospel According to St
3:56
John and you see what Jesus says about
3:59
the Holy Spirit you will see that he
4:01
refers to the Holy Spirit as a
4:03
helper in other words a guide and also
4:07
the holy spirit is referred to as a
4:10
comforter and obviously the holy spirit
4:12
is referred to as a protector so there
4:15
we have a freeold Ministry of the Holy
4:17
Spirit there are other four functions of
4:21
the holy spirit that we might not be
4:25
acquainted with as human beings in the
4:27
sense that we cannot understand
4:30
god um God is Almighty we are not okay
4:35
so we know that the holy spirit is
4:37
powerful we know that the holy spirit is
4:39
omnipresent we know that the Holy Spirit
4:41
Associates him Associates himself with
4:44
order if you read Genesis 1 you will see
4:48
that the spirit of God was hovering over
4:50
the face of the deep
4:52
Waters and the moment the spirit started
4:55
hovering over the
4:56
Deep what follows all order not chaos
5:01
there was chaos but the moment the
5:03
spirit started hovering over the waters
5:05
the spirit of God the Holy
5:08
Spirit there's a strict
5:10
order According to which God creates
5:15
Heaven and Earth so the holy spirit of
5:17
God Associates himself with order not
5:19
with disorder not with
5:22
chaos okay if you are in a church where
5:26
there's hyp hyper charismania going on
5:29
people falling down and getting
5:31
convulsions and um foaming from the
5:36
mouth and they tell you that that's the
5:38
holy spirit that is not the Holy Spirit
5:40
that's a counterfeit holy spirit it's
5:41
the Kundalini spirit because the holy
5:44
spirit of God never Associates himself
5:46
with chaos and disorder the Holy Spirit
5:50
of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
5:52
Associates himself with
5:54
order because God created heaven and
5:57
Earth according to a strict order
6:04
okay the Holy Spirit as a Sevenfold
6:07
spirit before his throne and from Jesus
6:09
Christ who is the faithful witness the
6:12
firstborn from the dead and the ruler of
6:14
the kings of the
6:15
earth so bad news for all the
6:18
governments of the earth who are so
6:20
arrogant and to think that they are in
6:22
control they are
6:24
not go and read Psalm 2 the 2 Psalm it
6:29
says that the Nations conspire against
6:32
God they have a conspiracy against
6:34
God and God what is God's reaction God
6:38
laughs at
6:40
them and it's Psalm 2 is actually forms
6:44
a very good parallel with Psalm
6:46
110 where we see
6:49
Jesus
6:52
as the Holy One sent from God the father
6:57
as the king of kings
7:00
so a king ruling over a nation a
7:03
government ruling over a
7:05
nation it will do them
7:08
good if they actually acknowledge Jesus
7:12
Christ as the only true Messiah and the
7:15
Lord and the savior of the world but if
7:18
they don't and they focus on themselves
7:20
and they have a nefarious agenda then
7:23
they God laughs at them you see so Jesus
7:28
is the faithful Witness we know that
7:30
he's
7:31
faithful and he's the first born from
7:33
the dead he conquered death and he is
7:37
the ruler of the kings of the earth he's
7:39
the king of kings all
7:41
right now he continues and he says to
7:44
him who loves us and has freed us from
7:47
our sins by his blood and has made us to
7:50
be a kingdom and Priests to serve his
7:53
God and Father to him be glory and power
7:55
forever and ever amen all right so so
7:59
here we see clearly Jesus
8:03
redeeming us from death that's why the
8:07
Apostle Paul mocks death in 1
8:10
Corinthians chapter 15 he mocks death he
8:12
says death wears I sting death wears thy
8:15
Victory because if you are truly a
8:18
follower of Jesus
8:20
Christ death is
8:22
just a
8:25
stage through which you go to Eternity
8:29
we know that in 2 Corinthians chapter 5
8:32
the Apostle Paul clearly tells us
8:36
that this world is not our home this
8:39
world is just a place where we are
8:41
passes by we have a Earthly tent and we
8:46
are looking forward to the permanent
8:49
residence that we will have in heaven in
8:52
the New
8:53
Jerusalem with Jesus Christ and we will
8:57
be with there we will be there with him
9:03
okay look he is coming with the
9:06
clouds so in other words John is saying
9:10
Jesus is not just a baby in a
9:13
Manger Jesus did not die on the cross
9:17
and then it was the end he conquered
9:21
death he ascended to heaven and he's
9:23
coming back he's coming on the clouds
9:26
and every eye will see him even those
9:28
who pierced him
9:30
and all peoples on Earth will mourn
9:31
because of him so shall it be amen now
9:34
this refers to the prophecy uh recorded
9:37
by the prophet
9:38
Zachariah in um Zechariah
9:42
12 as more specifically Zechariah 12: 10
9:48
and this refers to um the remnant of
9:52
Israel the Israel will go through the
9:56
time of Jacob's trouble in in the last
9:58
days
10:00
and a lot of them will perish but there
10:03
will be a faithful Remnant and they will
10:06
acknowledge Jesus Christ they will
10:08
finally acknowledge Him as the true
10:10
Messiah they will look upon Him whom
10:13
they have pierced and they will weep
10:15
bitterly then they will realize this man
10:19
that we crucified back in the day he is
10:22
actually the true
10:24
Messiah
10:26
okay then he says I am the Alpha and the
10:28
Omega says the Lord God who is and who
10:31
was and who is to come once again we
10:33
have the three tenses past present and
10:36
future um god um once again
10:42
confirming himself to be the almighty
10:46
one okay he says the almighty that's how
10:51
he ends verse
10:53
8 so in other
10:55
words when we look at the greetings and
10:58
the doxology
10:59
we can clearly see how this was
11:03
dedicated to the Lord Jesus
11:06
Christ it was dedicated through the Holy
11:10
Spirit to the Lord Jesus Christ through
11:12
Jesus Christ to God the
11:15
father now getting back to what I said
11:17
in the previous video in the prologue
11:19
when we look at verse three this is not
11:21
just poetry this is a
11:23
prophecy it was given to
11:26
John by Jesus Christ
11:31
so people who tell you that this is
11:33
merely poetry don't have the faintest
11:35
idea what they're talking about they are
11:38
deceived all right and Jesus Christ
11:42
being the Alpha and the
11:45
Omega the King of
11:48
Kings who will come and who will judge
11:53
righteously over the living and the dead
11:56
he will be the one to bring righteous
11:59
judgment in this world in this secular
12:01
world we will never have righteous
12:05
judgment
12:07
okay the courts can judge a criminal but
12:10
many times a criminal gets away with it
12:12
because he has a good
12:15
lawyer and people get sad and they think
12:18
when when will Justice
12:20
Prevail um that murderer or that rapist
12:23
will get away with it they will not get
12:25
away with
12:26
it if they don't
12:30
come to Jesus Christ and they don't get
12:32
born again then at the
12:34
Judgment they will stand before God and
12:37
he will judge them righteously and if
12:40
they don't if they haven't been born
12:42
again they will be cast into the Lake of
12:47
Fire where they will be tormented
12:50
alongside Satan the Antichrist the false
12:53
prophet and all the forces of
12:55
Darkness okay so that's it for the
12:58
greetings and the
12:59
doxology and then in the next video we
13:02
will look at John's vision of Christ uh
13:06
which is actually the central part of
13:08
Revelation chapter 1
