[§37] Rev 3:21-22: Those That Overcome Will Be as God Is

This podcast explains the images and symbols found in Revelation 3:21-22. These verses describe the promise of eternal life given to people such as the saints in Laodicea who overcome their lukewarm condition in the gospel. This is reflected in the symbolism of overcomers sitting on the throne of God the Father and with Jesus Christ. These verses contain the admonition found in all seven letters by John the Revelator for saints everywhere to hear what the Spirit says to the seven churches. Revelation 3:21: 00:01:52 Revelation 3:22: 00:54:31

[§36] Rev 3:19-20: Christ Stands at the Door

This podcast explains the symbolism of the lukewarm Laodiceans found in Revelation 3:19-20. In these verses John the Revelator describes the Savior’s love for the Laodiceans despite their spiritual apathy. He tells them, and all people, that he loves those whom he rebukes and chastens as a loving father. He commands the Laodiceans to be zealous and repent. He also tells them that he is standing at the door of their hardened hearts knocking and waiting for a receptive ear to open the door to him. Those who open their heart to Christ will be blessed with his presence and will share with him an intimate meal as a symbol of eternal life. Revelation 3:19: 00:01:43 Revelation 3:20: 00:22:51

[§35] Rev 3:17-18: Counsel to the Wretched and Miserable

This podcast explains the symbolism about the lukewarm Laodiceans found in Revelation 3:17-18. In these verses John the Revelator describes the Laodicean saints as wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked because they thought themselves rich because of their temporal wealth. Christ counseled them to buy spiritual gold tried in the fire and then they would be truly rich and clothed in white raiment as a symbol of eternal life. They were also counseled to anoint their eyes with eye salve to cure their spiritual blindness. This podcast explains how the Laodiceans came to be spiritually blind and how this condition relates to the human condition today. Revelation 3:17: 00:02:47 Revelation 3:18: 00:25:12

[§34] Rev 3:14-16: The Lukewarm Laodiceans

This podcast discusses John the Revelator’s letter to the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-16. John’s letter comes from Christ who declares himself to be the “Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” All these names and titles express the power of Christ to bring about the destruction of the Lukewarm Laodiceans who were spiritually apathetic members of Christ’s church. This podcast explains why Christ told this church that he would rather that they be either “cold or hot” and why he would vomit them out of his mouth because of their lukewarmness. Revelation 3:14: 00:04:27 Revelation 3:15-16: 00:24:09

[§33] Rev 3:11-13: Pillars in the Heavenly Temple of God

This podcast explains and interprets the various symbols used by John the Revelator in his letter to the saints in Philadelphia in Revelation 3:11-13. Christ promises to come to the saints quickly and warns them to guard against anyone taking their crown, which represents eternal life. He further promises that the faithful saints will be made pillars in the heavenly temple of God, which is also a symbolic promise of eternal life. The saints will bear the name of the Father, the name of the New Jerusalem as the city of God, and the new name of Jesus Christ. All these things are a symbol of eternal life that come to those that overcome evil in this life. Revelation 3:11: 00:01:25 Revelation 3:12: 00:15:21 Revelation 3:13: 00:37:13

[§32] Rev 3:9-10: The Patient Are Promised Eternal Life

This podcast describes and explains the letter that John the Revelator wrote to members of the church in the city of Philadelphia in 96 AD, as set forth in Revelation 3:9-10. In these verses the Philadelphian saints were told that the source of their persecution was those people that called themselves Jews but were of the synagogue of Satan. These persecutors would one day know the error of their way and would prostrate themselves before the Christian people to pay homage to them. The Savior also promised the Philadelphian saints that their calling and election to eternal life was made sure because they had kept his word in patience. To have one’s calling and election made sure is to have the more sure word of prophecy and to have the guarantee of eternal life. These topics are explained in this podcast. Revelation 3:9: 00:01:42 Revelation 3:10: 00:10:34

[§31] Rev 3:7-8: Christ Holds the Key of David

This podcast discusses and explains the vision of John the Revelator in his sixth letter to the saints at Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7-8. These verses describe the commendations of Christ to the Philadelphian saints who, despite their little strength, had remained true to the gospel and to his name. They were holy and true as Christ is the Holy and True. These verses also describe how Christ holds the key of David as a symbol of absolute power. With this power Christ can open the door to heaven to those worthy of it, and he can exclude those who are unworthy. Revelation 3:7: 00:06:11 Revelation 3:8: 00:41:43

[§30] Rev 3:4-6: Undefiled Saints Shall Walk in White

This podcast discusses and explains the letter of John the Revelator to the church in Sardis in Revelation 3:4-6. The saints in Sardis were fixated on their name and reputation instead of having their lives focused on the Savior. Christ states that there are few in Sardis—a city famous for its woolen garment industry—that had not defiled their garments. The garments discussed in this verse symbolically describe the moral and spiritual status of the people, as discussed in this podcast. Those with clean and white garments are promised that they will be clothed in white raiment as a symbol of purity and eternal life. They also will not have their name blotted out of the book of life, which is explained in more detail during this podcast. This podcast also discusses the manner by which people have their name included in the book of life during premortality or during mortality. Christ will advocate with the Father for people who have their names in the book of life. Revelation 3:4: 00:01:09 Revelation 3:5: 00:24:01 Revelation 3:6: 00:56:00

[§29] Rev 3:1-3: The Saints Are Alive, But Spiritually Dead

This podcast discusses and explains the meaning of John’s letter to the saints in the City of Sardis in Revelation 3:1-3. The topics of these verses include a discussion of how the Saints in Sardis were physically alive, but spiritually dead. They were Christians in name who lived off the faith and reputation of church members who preceded them. Their condition exists today in the modern church. The Sardian saints were commanded to be watchful and strengthen those truths that remain among them. They are told to remember their testimonies from before and repent to avoid their spiritual deadness. Revelation 3:1: 00:01:17 Revelation 3:2: 00:27:13 Revelation 3:3: 00:46:12

[§28] Rev 2:26-29: The Saints Will Receive the Morning Star

This podcast explains and interprets John the Revelator’s vision in Revelation 2:26-29. In these verses to the overcoming saints in Thyatira, they are promised power over nations. This is synonymous with godhood, as shown by many other scriptural references discussed in this podcast. This podcast also explains how Christ will rule over the nations with a rod of iron at his Second Coming, breaking them to pieces like potter’s clay. Finally, faithful and overcoming saints are promised the morning star, which is a reference to Jesus Christ. This is synonymous with the Second Comforter, as discussed in this podcast.
