The Defiled Church
#
Revelation 2:12-17
Introduction
We are going to look at one another state of the church. While these
very well can represent ages, they very well could stand for stages or
states in which a church may be.
Last week, we looked at Smyrna, as the Dependable Church, who stands
through persecution. It was pointed out to me afterwards, that even now,
the christians in Smyrna face persecution! So, while it is very popular
to define these as ages, they also can be a status of current churches.

The Defiant Church
#
Revelation 2:18-29
Christ - the “Son of God”, eyes like unto a flame of fire (judgement),
feet like brass,
Eyes like unto a flame of fire - judgement
feet are like fine brass - righteous
God’s judgement is righteous.
God’s judgement in this portion, can seem harsh to us, but it certainly
is not. It is just. We have a very skewed sense of right and wrong, and
tolerate much more wickedness than God does.

these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,"
