FEW NOTES- Remember- these are the messages that Jesus himself is giving to the churches.
The basic theme is to repent from sin- to flee idolatry [love of money- materialism].
To do the works of the kingdom- and to do them in love.
Now- with each rebuke- we also see a promise to those who OVERCOME.
They will have ‘white robes’ [a symbol of actually being righteous- not just legal justification- but ACTUAL justification].
Those who overcome will be ‘pillars in the temple of God’- the church is a spiritual building- made up of people- referred to as stones in the bible.
So- those who overcome the things Jesus is warning us about- will become spiritual pillars in the church.
In the book of Acts we read about Peter, James and John- who are called ‘pillars’.
We also see the church AS THE NEW JERUSALEM coming down from God out of heaven.
This theme is also taught in the letters of the New Testament- that we ARE THE CITY OF GOD.
So- when we read later about John seeing this city coming down from God out of heaven- PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND-
We realize it is speaking about the church- the BRIDE OF CHRIST.n
Now- the Hidden Manna- the ‘new name’ on us- the ‘morning star’- these are things given to those who overcome.
What are these things talking about?
Christ- we are at a spiritual banquet right now- partaking of Jesus who is the bread of life.
Later in Revelation Jesus says ‘Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
See?
He is the Morning Star- so- we get him.
We partake of his life- he is our life.
This book is really a great prophecy- from Jesus to us.
And it’s all about the victory we have in Christ.
It talks very openly about repenting from sexual sin- fleeing the ‘money gospel’.
The last church receives the rebuke ‘you SAY you are rich and have wealth’.
We live in a day where people are taught to say this stuff [Have a money confession- etc.].
Jesus rebuked them and said they did not know they were in spiritual danger.
So- the rebukes are clear- and the promises to.

Revelation 3:1 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.
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Revelation 3:3 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.
Revelation 3:4 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.
Revelation 3:5 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.
Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:7 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;
Revelation 3:8 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.
Revelation 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.
Revelation 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. [some see a rapture here- it is simply saying we will be preserved thru tough times- not taken out of the planet].
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation 3:12 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.
Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:14 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;
Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:17 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:
Revelation 3:18 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 eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:21 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.
Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
