The seventh seal was broken (8:1) and then there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour. Divine preparations were made by seven angels which stood before God. They were given seven trumpets. Another angel was given a golden censer to offer incense with the prayers of the saints (8:3-5) offered upon the golden altar which was before the throne. • The sounding of the seven trumpets (Rev. 8:6-11:19). 1.

  • The Seven Spirits of God in the Operation of the Divine Trinity
    by James Fite n addressing each of the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3, Christ designates IHimself as having specific attributes and characteristics that relate to the condition of that particular church. Of all the designations provided in these two chapters, per- haps the most revealing, yet most misunderstood, designation is the one spoken to the church in Sardis. In the epistle to Sardis, John was instructed to write, “These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and yet you are dead” (3:1). To counteract the deadness of the church in Sardis, the Son of Man who walks in the midst of the lampstands emphasized that He “has the seven Spirits of God” (1:13; 3:1). The seven Spirits of God is a specific term used only four times in the Bible—all of which occur in Revelation (1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6). The implications of this unique title are pro- found because this designation points to the judging, enlightening, redeeming, life- dispensing, building, administrating, and reigning operation of the Divine Trinity in His economy. Three Interpretations of the Seven Spirits of God Among Bible commentators there are generally three distinct interpretations of the seven Spirits in Revelation, each of which can be found in some of the earliest extant commentaries on Revelation. The first interpretation considers that the seven Spirits refer to seven angels.1 In his sixth-century Greek commentary Oecumenius, referring to 1:4, says that “the seven spirits are seven angels” but clarifies that “they are not to be regarded as of equal honor or co-eternal with the Holy Trinity, by no means, but as true assistants and faithful servants” (Weinrich 4).

This inadequacy has serious ramifications for our Christian experience of and participation in the Triune God and His move on earth. If we neglect these aspects, perhaps out of a defective theology, we are, in many respects, neglecting some crucial items of Christian faith and experience.

  • Book of Enoch and Noah
    Book Of Enoch And Noah ‘Enoch lived three hundred sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him’ (Genesis 5:23 & 24). ‘By faith, Enoch was taken so he would not see death, and he was not found (on earth) because God translated him. Enoch has the testimony given to him, before his translation he had been well pleasing to God’ (Hebrews 11:5). ‘Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam prophesied saying, "Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the blasphemous things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him’” (Jude 1:14 & 15). This quote in Jude was a prophecy written by Enoch about the final judgement of all mankind. About 300 BC, the Jewish group called the Sadducees removed from the Tenach (Old Testament), the Book of Enoch. During that time, much of the Old Testament was translated into Greek for the Greek-speaking Jews. The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection or life after death (Matthew 22:23; Luke 20:27), putting the Sadducees at odds with the prophets, because the Book of Enoch majors on the Godly being resurrected to eternal life with God, and the ungodly being resurrected to damnation, as is also written in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 12:2). Jesus warned the Jewish people living in His day, not to accept the wrong teaching, or the ‘leaven’ preached by the Sadducees (Matthew 16:6).

  • Notes and Studies
    NOTES AND STUDIES THE SEVEN ARCHANGELS AND THE SEVEN SPIRITS: A STUDY IN THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPEMENT, AND MESSIANIC ASSOCIATIONS OF THE TWO THEMES. IN a former study 1 I advanced the theory that there were two chief schools of Messianic doctrine in Jewry, ( 1) that which looked for the coming of the Angel of Yahweh, and (2) that which expected a Spirit­ endowed man, in the office of Messiah. The former school made use of Babylonian imagery to clothe its predictions of the Angel; the latter expressly avoided the use of it. Thus the presence or absence of this imagery is a distinguishing mark of the predictions of the two schools. The following study applies the general theory to the two themes of the Seven Archangels and the Seven Spirits. Both themes, as will be shewn, originated during the exile ; but whereas the school which originated and developed the doctrine of Archangels made the fullest use of Babylonian ideas, the other school explicitly rejected B.abylo­ nianism. The two schools of thought thus shew the same differentiation throughout their history : they were in opposition in regard to ( 1) the existence and office of the Messianic Angel, (2) the existence and func­ tions of angels, and (3) the employment of Babylonian ideas and terms in the doctrines of Yahwism. All these three the former school accepted, and the latter school rejected because it jealously taught the m~st rigid form of monotheism. • It is not the case, therefore, that the doctrine of the Seven Spirits differs from that of the Seven Archangels simply in terminology, as some scholars suggest.

(www.Lockman.org) The Church At Sardis Rev. 3:1-6 Sardis 1. Sardis was a city of western Asia Minor and located about 50 files East of Smyrna, and 35 miles Southeast of Thyatira. It was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia. 2. This is the fifth of the seven churches of Asia Jesus addressed in Revelation. (Rev. 1:11; 3:1,4). 3. Sardis was made wealthy by textile manufacturing and jewelry making. 4. Here are said to have been minted the first coins under the opulent [wealthy] Croesus. 5. Cyrus the Great overcame the city in 546 B.C., and Antiochus the Great did the same in 218 B.C. 6. Wealthy Sardis citizens took up with mystery cults, notably with that of Cybele. a. She was a Phrygian goddess who represented the Mother Earth and was worshiped as a goddess of fertility, nature, caverns , and mountains, as well as the walls and fortresses. b. She was worshiped in the cities of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. c. Sardis has been called as a city of degeneration, and the church was quickly becoming like the city. d. They were conforming to the world rather than transforming the world. (Rom. 12:1,2). 7. Neither the city or the church exist today. 8. Righteousness exalted a nation or city or church, and righteousness barely existed in the church at Sardis.

  • The Book of Revelation
    The Book of Revelation Introduction Author: John the Apostle Written to: the seven churches of Asia Minor (Revelation 1:11) Date: around 90s CE Apocalyptic: a type of writing popular amongst Jews and Christians during times of distress and persecution, featuring an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling, angelic mediation, evocative imagery, the struggle between cosmic forces of good and evil with the belief that the present seeming triumph of evil is short-lived and will be set right by God in the end. Literal language: language to be accepted and understood as is, often describing actual persons, places, things, or events. Figurative language: language in which the words used stands for, represents, or describes something else. Historicist interpretation: the belief that Revelation describes a continual series of events from John's day until the day of Jesus' return which can be seen through the historical record. A view that has lost its popularity as history continues to unfold. Preterist interpretation: the belief that most or all of Revelation describes events fulfilled in the first century or first few centuries after Jesus. Some Preterists believe Revelation 4-11 describes the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE and Revelation 12-19 the fall of the Roman Empire to Christianity from 100-350 CE; other preterists believe that Revelation 4-19 describes only the destruction of Jerusalem; some have gone so far as to believe that all of Revelation, along with all of prophecy, has been fulfilled by the end of 70 CE.

  • Ntroduction and Background
    e`pta pneu,mata Ryan M. Kocak Exegesis of Revelation Dr. Mulholland Kocak 1 Introduction and Background The book of Revelation is often viewed by pop culture (and by some groups within the Church) as a mysterious book of riddles about the end times, rapture, or future prophecies. Fortunately, the reality being conveyed by John is much different than Nostradamus or the Mayan Calendar predictions. John begins the Apocalypse stating clearly not what he intends to unveil, but whom he intends to unveil: Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:1). The Revelation of John is not a revelation of anything less than the reality of Jesus Christ. The first of the seven “blessings” found in Revelation testify that what John saw in his vision was intended to be communicated, understood, and applied (Rev. 1:3). I agree with M. Eugene Boring that John expected ordinary men and women to have understood his message, regardless of if they decided to actually employ the faithfulness to Christ that John advocated.1 As time passed, the readers of Revelation became more and more divorced from the world of the writer and his original audience. For example, few individuals today know what a black cockade is, let alone it represented the Federalist Party in the eighteenth century.2 So to responsibly interpret the meaning of how e`pta and pneu/ma are used together in Revelation, I will look to investigate what these terms would have meant to John and his original audience. John states in Rev. 1:10, he was “in the spirit (pneu,mati) on the Lord’s day.” John here is describing a visionary experience he had which transcended physical reality.

Bucur Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA THE ANGELOMORPHIC SPIRIT IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY: REVELATION, THE SHEPHERD OF HERMAS, CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA1 The title of this essay is a deliberate allusion to John R. Levison’s seminal article entitled «The Angelic Spirit in Early Judaism», which documented the widespread use, in pre- and post-exilic Judaism, of the term «spirit» as a designation of angelic presence. In the conclusion of his article, Levison for- mulated the following challenge to the scholarly community: Discussions of the spirit of God in Early Judaism and Christianity … ought to consider … interpretations of the spirit as an angelic presence. … The texts included in the present analysis serve … to provide a suitable foun- dation for discussion of the angelic spirit in the Fourth Gospel, the Shep- herd of Hermas, and the Ascension of Isaiah.2 The following pages are an attempt to take up the challenge, and pursue the occurrence of the «angelic spirit» (which I will henceforth refer to as «angelomorphic Pneumatology») in early Christian literature.3 In the first section of this essay, I will argue that angelomorphic Pneumatology figures prominently in the book of Revelation, the Shepherd of Hermas, and the Jew- ish Christian theology echoed by Clement of Alexandria’s Eclogae Propheti- cae, Adumbrationes,andExcerpta ex Theodoto. 1 This essay is part of a larger project dedicated to angelomorphic Pneumatology in the first four centuries. The sections on Clement of Alexandria and the Shepherd of Hermas are treated separately, but in greater detail, in my forthcoming articles: Revi- siting Christian Oeyen: «The Other Clement» on Father, Son, and the Angelomorphic Spirit // VC 61 (2007); The Son of God and the Angelomorphic Holy Spirit: A Reread- ing of the Shepherd’s Theology // ZNW 98 (2007) 1–23.

Of course, in reality, it wasn't that Gulliver was actually a giant, it was that the Lilliputians were rather small in stature, being only one twelfth the size of normal men.
