THE CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA REV. 3:7-13 Nyron Medina

1. A translation of Rev. 3:7-13. “[7] 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; [8] 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. [9] 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. [10] 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. [11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. [12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no

REPENT, BE A PHILADELPHIAN AND ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE [Rev.3:10 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.

If one stops and think of the spiritual image the apostles and martyrs would of have as holy men contending for the faith with all their heart, facing persecution to the point of martyrdom would Laodicea fit that image? The false understanding  of the churches in Rev.3 has caused people among General Conference SDA churches to have a false sense of security. The warnings about their state and being spewed out was meant for GCSDA's but it is ovelooked by an idea that God's church is Laodicea, that Laodicea alone exists in this time, that the Seventh Day Adventist church under the General Conference alone is Laodicea and as such being a part of the General Conference makes you God's church and hence in some type of saved in sin state. My people open your eyes from this blindness, the time is too short, and the time of the Mark of Beast is close at hand, stop the hypocrisy, repent of the Laodicean state and become a Philadelphian.

[REV.3:7 - And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write .... - REV.3:9 - 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]. Early Writings page 124 "I saw that the priests who are leading on their flock to death are soon to be arrested in their dreadful career. The plagues of God are coming, but it will not be sufficient for the false shepherds to be tormented with one or two of these plagues. God's hand at that time will be stretched out still in wrath and justice and will not be brought to Himself again until His purposes are fully accomplished, and the hireling priests are led to worship at the feet of the saints, and to acknowledge that God has loved them because they held fast the truth and kept God's commandments, and until all the unrighteous ones are destroyed from the earth."

READ QUOTES FROM SDA PIONEERS JAMES WHITE AND JOSEPH BATES BELOW SHOWING THAT THE PHILADELPHIAN CHURCH CONTINUES DOWN TO OUR TIME AND UNTO THE END,

"Now just as sure as the Philadelphia church is the true church of the last days, just so sure the 144,000 are sealed, just before the coming of the Lord." - James White, Advent Review, September 1850 "[Quoting Zech. 13:8,9] ... First part, Sardis, the nominal church or Babylon. Second part, Laodicea, the nominal Adventist. Third part, Philadelphia, the only true church of God on earth, for they ask to be translated to the city of God" - Joseph Bates, Review and Herald, November 1850

THE CHURCH OF LAODICEA REV. 3:14-22

A translation of Rev. 3:14-22. “[14] 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; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] 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: [18] 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 eye-salve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, an

A COPY OF DISCUSSIONS HAD PREVIOUSLY ON FACEBOOK ON WHETHER CHRISTIANS SHOULD KEEP THE FEAST DAYS

Walter McGill's comment in favor of keeping the feast days: "If your teaching is true, then Adventists have no ground for setting Oct. 22, 1844 as a significant date in the time-clock of God. Please study the background for this doctrinal development". My response to Bro. McGill: The day of atonement (feast day) was fulfilled in 22nd October,1844 and has special significance to SDA's as it initiated the movement of Seventh Day Adventism. However all the events symbolized by the seven feast days are significant in the time clock of God. However the significance of the events (for example - the wave offering which symbolized the resurrection of Christ as the first fruits) in what you refer to as " in the time clock of God" does not indicate the feast days are to be kept now (For instance the sign circumcision has significance in understanding particular truths of God but is no longer to be kept and has been replaced by water baptism which is symbolic of

A STUDY ON PISTIS WHICH IS FAITH Nyron Medina

It is the word “Pistis” (Greek) that is translated “Faith” in the Second Witness of the Bible. James 2:1; 1 Timothy 4:6; Titus 1:1. This word “Faith”—pistis in the Greek, is  described as “hupostasis” in Heb 11:1. This word translated “substance” in the English  Bible is explained by Greek scholars in the  following way: “[hupostasis] stands for the whole body  of documents bearing on the ownership of a person’s property, deposited in the archives, and forming the evidence of ownership.  These varied uses are at first sight somewhat perplexed but in all cases there is the central idea of something that underlies visible  conditions and guarantees a future possession. And as this is the essential meaning in Heb. 11:1, we venture to suggest the translation “Faith is the titledeed of things hoped for.”” James Hope Moulton and George Milligan, The Vocabulary of the Greek Testament, p. 660. 3. The implications we can draw from this  quotation are the follow

EXAMINE THE WORD OF GOD TO KNOW WHAT IS THE FAITH OF JESUS, DON'T HAVE THE UNINSPIRED DOCTRINE OF THE COMMON MAN ON THE STREET WHO HOLD FAITH AS BELIEVING DUE TO TRADITION AND NOT DUE TO EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES.

EXAMINE THE WORD OF GOD TO KNOW WHAT IS THE FAITH OF JESUS, DON'T HAVE THE UNINSPIRED DOCTRINE OF THE COMMON MAN ON THE STREET WHO HOLD FAITH AS BELIEVING DUE TO TRADITION AND NOT DUE TO EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES. Grace and peace in the name of Jesus Christ. According to Revelation 12:11 & Revelation 14:8-12 the faith of Jesus is what allows the saints to have the endurance or patience to not receive the mark of the beast, so it is important for us to re-examine what faith is: What is Faith: It is the evidence or proof of things hoped for or the evidence or proof of things not seen (Heb11:1). This can only be the revealed truths of God, and can be referred to as the revealed word, the doctrine of Christ, the revealed teachings of Christ, the knowledge of God, the testimony of Jesus. This alone is the evidence or proof of things hoped for and of things not seen.  Hebrews 11:1 gives us the definition. The rest of Hebrews 11 gives us the demonstration of how faith works.

TO THEM THAT SAY "THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION"

TO THEM THAT SAY "THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION" I SAY THERE IS A PEOPLE OF GOD THAT ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME (2CHRON.7:14), AND LET EVERYONE THAT NAMETH THAT NAME DEPART FROM INIQUITY (2TIM.2:19) When men say they don't believe in religion, by implication they are saying they do not believe in the bible; which is the only book that truly teaches how to be righteous (By the power of God's indwelling through the word of faith), for therein (the bible) it is taught there is a religion or a people that is of the true God - Yahweh, a people set apart and sanctified (or holified) unto Him as His people, and called by His name. There is also a further implication of a person saying "they don't believe in religion" and that is of not believing that Yahweh the Creator calls a people unto Himself to righteousness and holiness and thus to say one believes not in religion is a denunciation of the truth that God has full rights and claim to direct their
