Syncretism for the Sake of the Body
Throughout all time we have seen the effects mixing worldly with scripture.
More to the point we note in the United States something that is plaguing the church is the rampant biblical illiteracy.
We take what the world says and place more value on their belief than we do in scripture.
We are warned in scripture how some in these days would not tolerate sound doctrine, and there would be a falling away.
In Malachi we are told how the Leadership is the cause for why the church body detests the food that is on the Lord’s table.
LEADERS have sold the pulpit and have led the church into compromise.
Today I will address those in leadership and those who desire to be in leadership but I address them to express to the body how we all need to engage with what God wants to give.
There is a victors crown for the one who does not compromise the word of God.
People who live in the Middle of Great Pagan practices
Greek gods worship
Emperor worship
Literally a temple with a throne to foreign gods
Compromise with Paganism
Compromised Pulpit
Pulpit is put up for sale
Heresy taught from the pulpit
People of God fed codified lies
Leaders misleading the flock
Even in their broken condition the Lord graciously gives the way out and with it a crown to be earned.
Revelation of Jesus Christ
Revelation is Not Just for Pergamum
By now we can see Jesus’ description is very much like Ch. 1
Remember those who read, hear, and hold this word are blessed.
Note Where the Sword is:
This sword comes out His mouth
the very word of God and He is about to speak over this church.
Posture of Judge
Not Just Offended He is Angered
Stands with a threat from the open because the church’s sin is pervading the entire region
He judges all things by the word of God.
Commendation for Holding to His Name
Intimately Knows Where They Dwell (Satan’s Throne)
He walks in the midst of the Churches (Eph)
Aware of your Condition (Smyrna)
Aware of where you are (Pergamum)
In the middle of a culture where its easier to sin than to serve the Lord
the church is called bigoted or hateful because it refuses to look like the world
You Hold fast my name
They haven’t stopped believing
Antipas Roasted alive
Told the world is against him for his belief, His response was Then I am against the world… facing severe satanic evil
Refused to renounce his faith people of Pergamos place him into a hollowed out metal bull light a bonfire and celebrate to the sound of his suffering
The Commendation would have gone well but they have a problem
Rebuke for Compromise
Problem that Existed in Pergamos
Religious Syncretism
Not outright lies but codified lies
Balaam was a diviner who knew that if the people of Israel worshipped another god then the Lord would withhold His blessings from them…
taught them to eat food sacrificed to foreign gods...
Symbology, Typeology, Figurative
literal sense food
(figurative) not so literal Sense doctrine
Nicolaitans were antinomialist
Based on a man who had changed his religion at least twice pagan > jew >Christian
Christ paid it all on the cross therefore we are free partake in even in the pagan practices
One foot in one foot out
The Pulpit Sells out
Internal Struggle the greater threat
Popularity
Filling Seats
Making Money
Prosperity Gospel; Cheap Grace; New Age Mysticism
Ease of access to information progress heresy
Fast quips spewed from pulpit make us sound more like Fortune Cookies.
They must bring the whole Gospel…not just the nice things
Jesus Hates, Detests, Abhors… who present only partial truths
Warned to Repent
Previously in Ephesus there was an exhortation and a warning… Jesus speaking as an angry Judge simply warns REPENT
He extends more Grace…
Repent from your compromise
Spiritual leader preach the truth and teach according to His word not your emtion
Congregation if you have someone who is misleading you rip out the root…
Failure to Repent
He will go in and rip them out… Speak against them with the Sword that is in His mouth
Church fails to thrive, fails to overcome
Church will eventually fall to the world
Later in Revelation we note all of creation shouting Hallelujah for the Lord God Almighty reigns… The bride has made herself ready
He who has an ear is a play on OT and NT Hebrew warnings…
It is spoken to the ones who are at the point where they would have no longer cared to hear… Seeing and Hearing they could not perceive
It is spoken to the one who is holding on and will press into the Lord to know…
Reward for Victory
Hidden Manna, New Name (no one excepts the one who receives it) White Stone
All of these are hidden
All speak to a new nature
Is 45:3
Treasures hidden in the darkness
Secret riches
Jer 33:1-3 j
Ask me not foreign Gods
I will give you great and hidden things you have not known
Hidden Manna was for the Angels and is now promised to you… This is why some pulpits deliver strong word from the Lord, while the sell outs keep teaching agreements with the world
New name… something that is given to those who crossed a tremendous crevasse of faith..
Abram to Abraham
Jacob to Israel
Saul to Paul
Michael… Who is like God
The stone is given to the victor…Access
Stop the compromise… uproot the false teachers… receive the things both now and when His kingdom comes.
