Revelation 2:8–11 [Session 18]

October 15, 2014 by Mark Trotter

Doctrinal Application, Part 2

We’re uncovering the 21st-century significance of Jesus’ writing to the church in Smyrna in Revelation 2:9, “And I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” This understanding is critical in these last days!

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. We’ve seen that the Apostolic Church Fathers began to deviate from the Word of God in the Ephesus Church Period (90–200 A.D.). #WordStrong
  2. The deviations continue in the Smyrna Church Period (200–325 A.D.) through the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers. #WordStrong
  3. One of the key deviations in the Smyrna Period is the teaching that God is finished with the Jews (Rev 2:9). #WordStrong
  4. Understanding this teaching is vital because Jesus calls it SATANIC and BLASPHEMOUS (Rev.2:9)! #WordStrong
  5. Jesus also lets us know that this teaching will be one of the key tenants of Satan’s counterfeit church (Rev. 2:9). #WordStrong
  6. What you believe about the Jew has significant implications & ramifications on what you believe about the Millennium. #WordStrong
  7. The difference between correct/false doctrine comes down to whether or not somebody is Premillennial. #WordStrong
  8. Premillennialists know where to place the Jew correctly in the Word of God so they don’t misapply biblical teaching to the Jew. #WordStrong
  9. Losing sight of the Jew is what is at the root of false teaching regarding BAPTISM, TONGUES and ETERNAL SECURITY. #WordStrong
  10. What Premillennialists are looking for is a gov’t OF Christ, brought to the earth BY Christ, & set up FOR Christ (Isa. 9:6–7)! #WordStrong
