The Churches Of Revelation Chapter Three

It is the content that each church teaches that is important, not the name of the church.

The Church Of Sardis

Sardis was a city of commerce.

Revelation 3:1  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

[
Note:
The seven Spirits of GOD means
Spiritual Completeness. All who are there are supposed to be there. We briefly touched on the seven Spirits. These Spirits are THE HOLY SPIRIT. The seven stars are the angels to the seven churches. The Works of this church are dead. They are Spiritually dead. There is only one NAME by which one receives LIFE and that NAME is CHRIST. These people have accepted antichrist and are dead. They don’t receive LIFE.
]

Revelation 3:2  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect G4137 before God.

[
Note:
There is nothing good about this church. It’s not the kind of church that you want to be in.

Their Works not being "Perfect" means GOD is NOT satisfied with their Works. Their Works are not good enough. Here is the definition of "Perfect", read it and reason out what it means:

G4137
πληρόω
plēroō
play-ro'-o
From
G4134; to make replete, that is, (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction), etc.: - accomplish, X after, (be) complete, end, expire, fill (up), fulfil, (be, make) full (come), fully preach, perfect, supply.

In my opinion, I don't think that there is anything wrong with a good bake sale that is going to help a good cause, but when a church is all about commerce, money, entertainment, and selling mite infested doves for an Old Testament sacrifice, and do not teach anything that is related to LIFE, but indeed use The NAME Of GOD in passing for a Social Media and commerce business, then their Works are not perfect. They are dead.

They should be teaching The WORD Of GOD! What does GOD teach? GOD teaches us that HE wants us to have knowledge of HIM and that HE wants our love, not our burnt offerings. HE teaches us to Walk In THE SPIRIT!

(Hosea 6:6)  For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

"mercy" in that verse means love.

(John 2:13)  And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
(John 2:14)  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
(John 2:15)  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
(John 2:16)  And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
(John 2:17)  And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
(John 2:18)  Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
(John 2:19)  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
(John 2:20)  Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
(John 2:21)  But he spake of the temple of his body.
(John 2:22)  When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Remember, the whole Law and Prophets (the entire Bible) are contained in two commandments, and by doing what those two commandments say, we are doing exactly what JESUS told us to do. It's called: Walking In THE SPIRIT!

Walking In THE SPIRIT

If you take a look at the verses below, you will see our relationship with the law. You will also see what it means to walk in the Spirit.

Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

The entire Bible is composed of those two commandments. If we love FATHER with our whole being, we would never worship an idol. The devil is the ultimate idol. If we love our neighbor as ourselves, we would never hurt our neighbor. If we would never worship an idol, and we would never hurt our neighbor, we have no need for the law. So, what is the fruit of the Spirit? It is love. And if we really have faith in GOD, then we would keep those two commandments. The law then just becomes our schoolmaster. It's the reference by which we know whether we do good or we do bad.

The Law is always with us. The Law has not been done away with, it has been fulfilled in JESUS. Not one jot or tittle will pass from it. When we sin, we fall back under the Law, so we need to repent fast and get back to walking in the Spirit. JESUS paid the price for our sins, so if we sin, we repent and our sin falls under the Blood of The LAMB and we are forgiven. The point is that if we don't sin, then we don't need the Law. We also have to be realistic: We are in the flesh and there is no such thing as not sinning when we are in the flesh (except for JESUS, WHO is our example). So, walk in the Spirit, and if you sin, repent and get back to walking in the Spirit, because any sin that is not repented of is not covered by The Blood Of The LAMB.
]

Revelation 3:3  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

[
Note:
A watchman knows the signs and watches in order to warn the brethren. The reason JESUS comes on them as a thief is because they are not expecting JESUS to come. Why? Because they think HE is already here. They fall away to antichrist, thinking it is the TRUE CHRIST. The hour that HE comes upon them is the hour of temptation. So, when JESUS shows up during the hour of temptation, ending the great tribulation, they will be found worshiping satan.
]

Revelation 3:4  Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:6  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
There are some in Sardis that are election and will make the first resurrection. And remember that JESUS said "whosoever believeth", so even those with free will can make it back to FATHER, make the first resurrection. And when Zerubbabel finishes building
The End Time Temple Of THE LORD, many will make it. What kind of person are you? Do you Walk In THE SPIRIT?

(John 3:16)  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He that hath an ear, let him hear with understanding. The white in which we walk with JESUS in, is the fine linen of the saints. It’s the clothes we wear in Heaven. When we leave this flesh life, there is only one thing that we can take with us. That is our righteous acts. Our righteous acts is what our garments are woven from. In all of these churches, there are some that don’t follow the false doctrine of the church. JESUS will accept those that are righteous and proper even though they are in one of these churches.

But this church is a loser. Don’t be a part of this church. It is my opinion only, but I think that it is possible that JESUS may have someone in one of these bad churches to pull others out of the fire. Another thing to realize from this is that GOD judges individually. Even though the church is bad, GOD doesn’t condemn those that are good within the church.

The Church Of Philadelphia

Philadelphia means “brotherly love”.

Revelation 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

[
Note:
The key of David is the knowledge of WHO the TRUE CHRIST is. HE opens the door of TRUTH, and the one thing that no man can take from you once you have it, is TRUTH. HE can also shut that door to the TRUTH.

Watch "The Parable Of The Talents".
]

Revelation 3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

[
Note:
How has this church not denied JESUS' Name? By not falling away to the false CHRIST. They do not fall away to the false CHRIST because they know TRUTH.
]

Revelation 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.

[
Note:
This is of key importance! This church teaches and has the drive toward knowing who those are that are the tares. This IS The Key of David. See the parable of the tares in Matthew 13:35. They are satan’s offspring. The
Genealogy Of JESUS CHRIST is of great importance for it shows the Seed Line to CHRIST! GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF coming to the flesh to be human and to forgive us our sins, redeeming us to HIM by paying for our sins and showing us the way Home!

We are not to root up the tares, but we are to be aware of them. This church teaches the same as the church of Smyrna. These two churches are the churches that JESUS is happy with out of the seven churches. It is one of these two churches that you want to be in.

The tares will worship at our feet in the Millennium. That does not mean we are anything special. We are at the feet of CHRIST in the Millennium. They will want to be at our feet to learn as much as they can. What does it mean to be at someone’s feet. It’s an idiom that means we are at the feet of our teacher. We are sitting at HIS feet as HE teaches. We are the student, HE is the teacher.

Here is the explanation of the parable of the tares. It’s not the parable, it is the explanation of the parable as given by JESUS. That means it is exactly written as to what it means.

Matthew 13:34  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matthew 13:35  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 13:36  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matthew 13:37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew 13:38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew 13:39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew 13:40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew 13:42  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Who Are The Elite And Why Do They Have So Much Power?
]

Revelation 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

[
Note:
Because you have kept the WORD of TRUTH and waited upon The LORD, JESUS will keep you from the hour of temptation. How? By that open door of TRUTH.

If you know the TRUTH, then you will know who the false CHRIST is. If you know it is the devil disguising himself as CHRIST, is he going to be tempting to you? No. Nothing from the devil would be tempting to the election.

But the rest of the world won’t know THE TRUTH.

They will fall away to satan because they did not accept the love for the TRUTH. They will worship the devil, thinking he is CHRIST, at least until the TRUE CHRIST shows up like a thief in the night. Then they will wish for the rocks to fall on them to hide them from the WRATH of the LAMB.

(2 Thessalonians 2:10)  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received G1209 not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(2 Thessalonians 2:11)  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

G1209
δέχομαι
dechomai
dekh'-om-ahee
Middle voice of a primary verb; to receive (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - accept, receive, take. Compare
G2983.

G1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one, but in this case they refused THE TRUTH.

And this is what will happen to those who refuse THE TRUTH:

(Revelation 6:14)  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(Revelation 6:15)  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(Revelation 6:16)  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(Revelation 6:17)  For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
]

Revelation 3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

[
Note:
Hold on to the TRUTH so that no man can deceive you into worshipping the devil and thereby take away your eternal Life.

That crown is the crown of Life, Eternal LIFE.
]

Revelation 3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

[
Note:
Those that overcome being tempted by satan will be part of the very foundation of the Temple of GOD.

When GOD said divide up the inheritance of land to the people, HE said not to give an inheritance to HIS election. Why? Because HE said HE is our inheritance. There are serious implications to that.

(Ezekiel 44:28)  And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
]

Revelation 3:13  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
When you can understand what GOD’S WORD says, you have eyes to see and ears to hear. You know The Mysteries Of The Kingdom Of GOD. And everyone of you are studying GOD’S WORDS. You are not just listening to a preacher that says one or two verses and then spends an hour or more saying his own words, and possibly spinning his or someone else’s deception.

You are genuinely seeking GOD’S actual WORDS, THE TRUTH! That shows you have a love for the TRUTH. I think that is a sign of election.

GOD says that HE will send a strong delusion to those who do not accept a love of the TRUTH. That’s how important and serious it is to GOD. It’s my opinion that every one of you show a love for the TRUTH.

The verses below are further down in the chapter of 2nd Thessalonians, chapter two  where Paul tells the people that the devil comes before we gather back to CHRIST and is in context to that subject. If you do not care about this TRUTH, you can know what GOD thinks about that by reading the following verses:

I know that this is basically what we covered above, but the importance of it deserves repeating.

2 Thessalonians 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received G1209 not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians 2:12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

They take pleasure in worshiping satan because they believe satan is CHRIST. And this happens because they do not accept a love for the TRUTH. They don't rightly divide THE WORD OF TRUTH!

Look at the definition of "received". It means accept. They accepted NOT the love of the TRUTH. They really do not care. Suddenly the devil shows up doing miracles and they are ready to listen to anything that he has to say. The devil is very likely aware of the false rapture doctrine, do you think that maybe he might use that to his advantage and make logically sounding reasons why he must prepare to rapture people? Or who knows if one of those miracles that he does is going to be one related to this subject.

G1209
δέχομαι
dechomai
dekh'-om-ahee
Middle voice of a primary verb; to receive (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - accept, receive, take. Compare
G2983.

(Revelation 13:11)  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
(Revelation 13:12)  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
(Revelation 13:13)  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
(Revelation 13:14)  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
(Revelation 13:15)  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
(Revelation 13:16)  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
(Revelation 13:17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
(Revelation 13:18)  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

"...and his number
is Six hundred threescore and six.": 666: 6th seal, 6th trump, 6th vial:

THE TRUE CHRIST does not return until "777"!
The devil comes first and uses miracles to deceive people into believing that he is GOD, in the form of CHRIST! And what does GOD say? GOD says: Wait upon THE LORD, and:

(Luke 21:17)  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
(Luke 21:18)  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
(Luke 21:19)  In your patience possess ye your souls.

Don't fall away to satan and lose your soul.

The Church Of The Laodiceans

The lukewarm church.

Revelation 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

[
Note:
The “Amen” means the “So be it”. The end, "The Omega". HE is also "The Alpha", The Beginning, HE WHO started creating.
]

Revelation 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

[
Note:
This church does nothing. They want to be politically correct when they should be morally correct.

They accomplish nothing and stand for nothing. If you don’t stand for GOD, you stand for nothing, and if you stand for nothing, then what good are you? How can GOD use a church like this? If you do something wrong, then GOD can bring you out of it and you will learn what is right. If you learn what is right, then you can help others. This church does neither. They don’t take any chances. They are useless. They have no backbone. They ride the fence.
]

Revelation 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

[
Note:
Because this church does nothing, JESUS will spit them out of Heaven.
]

Revelation 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

[
Note:
Because this church is poor (caught up in the things of this world, therefore no treasures in Heaven), and blind (have no TRUTH), and naked (have no righteous acts), JESUS gives them the advice to buy of HIM gold tried in the Fire. Will their works burn up like stubble or withstand the scrutiny? Gold means good works, so that they may be rich in Heaven.

Works compared to wood or paper would not withstand scrutiny, they would burn up in the Fire. But the more gold is heated, the better it gets. So, the best works would be compared to gold. And put on white raiment so they will be clothed and not be shameful in Heaven. The clothes we wear in Heaven are made of our righteous acts. It’s all we can take with us when we leave this flesh life.

Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And JESUS tells them to anoint their eyes with eyesalve so that they can see. The eyesalve is TRUTH.
]

Revelation 3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

[
Note:
As long as GOD chastens (corrects) you, you are HIS child. If you are one of GOD’S election and you get too far off the Path, HE will chasten you and straighten you out. So it will be easier on you if you repent.
]

Revelation 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

[
Note:
If you can hear HIS Voice, open the door. Then HE will eat with you; the TRUE food. The Bread of Life.

The WORD became flesh. That is HIS body. It's The Bible. Read it with understanding. When HE sups with you, you are eating HIS WORD. And by HIS SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT, you can understand it. But don't fantasize that some idea that comes into your mind is THE HOLY SPIRIT! THE TRUTH is in HIS WORD, THE TRUTH IS HIS WORD! Rightly divide HIS TRUTH! GOD gives understanding, but you can see if you KNOW! To KNOW something means that you can see the logic, understand the context. It's not some fantasized magical imagination with no ties to what is actually being said in context in HIS WORD!

If you KNOW (UNDERSTAND) HIS WORD, you have eyes to see and ears to hear. What does JESUS say? HIS SPIRIT says, he who has ears, let him hear. That means, he who understands GOD'S WORD, let him learn THE TRUTH. If you are seeking GOD with your whole heart, that obviously means you are of HIS election because JESUS says that no one can come to HIM unless FATHER calls or draws him.

John 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
]

Revelation 3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

[
Note:
To those that overcome satan’s temptations and his lies, will be granted to be near JESUS in the Millennium. To all else, HE will say: Depart from ME, I never knew you.

There is a layout to the Millennium. Only the seven thousand can come near JESUS in the Millennium. In order to understand that layout, you need to learn HIS WORD. JESUS will be in the center of the Millennial Temple, and the election, the seven thousand will surround HIM.

Then outside of the seven thousand, the 144,000 will be located. Then the people will be outside of the 144,000. JESUS will interface with the seven thousand, then the seven thousand with the 144,000.

Then the 144,000 will teach the people. The seven thousand can bypass the 144,000 and go out to help their families. No one else can do that. Seek GOD strongly, if HE has drawn you to JESUS. Seek GOD strongly, period! If you do, you will realize that HE did draw you to JESUS.
]

Revelation 3:22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
To those that have already passed on, these things have no effect. They did not have to know that satan comes first because they will not be here when satan arrives. These things are written unto the churches of the end time. That means the churches that are here when satan arrives. And if you really look at it, everyone falls into one of these categories. Some may be election and have been caught up into a bad church, but GOD says that HE will not count that against you because you are doing what is right. And who knows if HE has you in one of those churches to pull others out of the fire? GOD KNOWS!

Do you have ears to hear what the Spirit says unto the churches? JESUS is happy with two of these churches. What do they teach? They teach who the tares are that control the one world globalist beast system along with the devil and his fallen angels.

And GOD will show you things. But what HE shows you, you will KNOW is TRUTH! HIS TRUTH IS IN HIS WORD! But it is HIS TRUTH that HE will show you, not some fantasy driven idea that is not supported in Scripture. If you say that you had a vision that the rapture is going to come soon, then anyone who is GOD'S election is going to KNOW right away that you are a fake, and a flake because THE BIBLE clearly states that there is no such thing as a rapture. It's an end time deception to lead you to fall away to satan. And if you say that THE HOLY SPIRIT sent you that vision, then you had better test your spirits because THE HOLY SPIRIT will never contradict GOD'S WORD!

(John 16:13)  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(John 16:14)  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
(John 16:15)  All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Know the TRUTH so that you don’t give in to the beast during the hour of temptation. The devil comes first instead of CHRIST and disguises himself as CHRIST. If you do not know that it is not CHRIST, you will freely accept whatever he offers. You would be accepting the mark of the beast.

The devil’s children prepare the one world system for their father, but it receives a deadly wound. Then their father shows up and heals that deadly wound.

Then all the world wonders after the beast, except those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

It’s the hour of temptation when this happens, but when you know the TRUTH, you won’t find anything tempting about satan. In deed, you will be disgusted with him. So, don’t fall away to satan and be taken in by his deception. Wait upon The LORD. To wait upon The LORD means you know the devil is here claiming to be CHRIST and doing miracles in the sight of men to deceive them. Knowing that The TRUE CHRIST is going to return less than five months later, and not giving in to the devils temptations is what it means to wait upon The LORD.
]

In the next chapter, we will look at GOD’S THRONE and the four beasts (four living creatures).

Dear FATHER, Thank THEE for Blessing our Study of THY WORD! In JESUS' NAME, Amen!
