| SCRIPTURE:“To the angel of the church Smyrna write: These are the words of Him who Is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. I know your afflictions and your poverty-yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ” (Rev.2 ” (Rev.2:8-9 NIV) Jesus identifies Himself as the First and the last. This reflects His eternal existence. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made (John1:3 NIV). The church in Smyrna struggle against two hostile forces: A Jewish population strongly opposed to Christianity, and a non-Jewish population that was loyal to Rome and supported emperor worship. Persecution and suffering were inevitable in an environment like this. But are a synagogue of Satan, means these Jews were serving Satan’s purposes, not God’s, when they gather to worship. |
STAY BLESSED.
