Thank you for covering all seven churches in Turkey - I see how the churches progressed through the ages. The churches of Philadelphia and of Laodicea bring us up to the present. Now we will start Revelation Chapter Four!
Who is the Israel of God? It's not the nation of Israel we see today. Jesus said in Mat_21:43 I say unto you (The nation of Israel according to the flesh) The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a NATION bringing forth the fruits thereof. Who is that Nation? Born Again overcoming Christians Are. 1 Pe_2:9 But ye (Christians) are a chosen generation, a Holy NATION. 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. Who is a Jew in God's eyes? Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Rev is for Israel and the nations. The Church won't be here. Therefore, the 7 churches are Jewish assemblies. They are told to overcome, endure till the end. There's no Pauline (church) language here. Nothing about grace. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached.
I am loving these series. Thankyou for sharing with the rest of us. God Bless Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities

Born Again overcoming Christians Are.
1 Pe_2:9 But ye (Christians) are a chosen generation, a Holy NATION.

Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Indeed the church will be gone during the tribulation, but these churches are churches of the first century A.D., not Judaism/Jewish assemblies.
