Letter to Philadelphia 100CE

Revelation 3:7-13

Have ears to hear what the Spirit says………..

Jesus Christ

The angel calling out in Philadelphia, explains to me the things that I write. “He that is blameless and truthful possesses the key of David* to open so that nothing can close and close so that nothing can open.” *

“I see your accomplishments.* Set before you is an open portal* and nothing* is able to close it. Though you have little strength*, you keep your eye on* my word and do not deny* my name.”

“Behold, I will deliver you from the synagogue of Satan, who describes themselves as Jews (or as Judean), but they are not. Indeed, they lie! * Lo! Make them come and bow down before your feet and know that I love you because you keep your eyes on* my word constantly*. So, therefore, I will also keep my eyes on you, to guard you from loss or injury, in the hour* of temptation* that shall come upon all the earth, to scrutinize the dwellers of the Earth.”

“Pay attention! I come right away! Use the strength* that you have in order that nothing* takes your crown. Those who prevail* will stand as pillars; strongly established in the temple of my God and shall not depart out thereafter. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, ‘ The New Jerusalem’ that descends down out of heaven from my God. And I will write upon them my new name.”

Have ears to hear what the Spirit says to the called out*.
