The Seven
Churches in the Book of Revelation Revealed
By
Michele M. Newman
To be perfectly clear, I do NOT
profess to be a prophet of any kind; however, I do believe the Lord
has blessed me with a special visionary gift, as a prophetess, to interpret the words
of the Biblical prophets and scriptures in a “New Light”. Isaiah
48:6-8 – “6...From this time forth I make you hear new
things, hidden things which you have not known. 7They are
created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them,
lest you say, 'Behold, I knew them.' 8You have never
heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been
opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously...”
I say I was blessed with this gift
because it was only at age 51 the Lord made it known to me and others
that I was blessed as a Savant with high-functioning Autism. This
happened only after I lost hope in all humanity and its cruelty
towards one another in lieu of personal wickedness and desires. I
could no longer bear the irrational dysfunction of society, so
committed suicide. I took a lethal prescription overdose and
experienced paralysis on my bed as I consumed my last breaths of
life. Miraculously, I awoke the next morning on my bed. The next 12
months consisted of a major spiritual awakening within myself, along
with severe personal suffering and trials with self, and through
those whom I placed trust. Only after ending up on life support
following 2 more failed suicide attempts, and God's intervention,
did I accept the fact that the Lord was not finished with me on this
earth. He had a greater plan for me. Since 2006, I've known this plan
involved providing mankind with new insights to the scriptures, but
had severe feelings of incompetence towards this task. Only through a
deeper spiritual growth, understanding of the scriptures, support
from other committed Christian peers, and lots of prayers, have I
finally gained the courage to assume the task the Lord has placed
upon me.
I am not a theologian, nor have a
degree in religious studies. I am a spiritually committed lay
Christian, who has been guided, unknowingly, by the Holy Spirit, in
my heart since I was a toddler. Despite being different, a loner,
because of my undiagnosed autism, I always had a survivor drive and
mentality that came from deep within me. I NEVER felt alone in the
nearly a half century of little to no social life and exposure, or
limited pool of individuals I could consider close friends. I always
had an inner comfort and warmth from deep inside my heart, which
seemed to always bestow the necessary knowledge and wisdom to survive
and endure all the good and bad that I experienced during my
lifetime. I never quite understood it, but thought everyone was made
and felt this way. That is, until my awakening during my rebirth and
salvation, when it became clear it was the Holy Spirit residing
within my heart and guiding me my entire life.
This was true commitment and
investment that God, my true Father, and Christ, my Savior, has had
in making me the person I am. They didn't give up on me when I had
been so angered by humanity's dysfunction and cruelty, that I chose
to give up on society and life. My whole life has been about serving
others, because I somehow felt inferior due to my differences;
however, because of my autism and the righteous life of integrity I
have tried to live by, the Lord is rewarding (or cursing) me with a
very arduous task of warning mankind about its pending doom in the
VERY NEAR FUTURE. The state of the world's affairs and God's anger
with mankind, along with the knowledge that the true Antichrist is
now amongst us and preparing his plan for power, makes deliverance of
this and other messages critical.
I have been given the gift to write
fairly well; however, my interpretations of the scriptures and
prophecy are not mine, alone. If I wanted to just write anything or
interpret the scriptures on an intellectual level, I would have begun
this assignment back in 2006-07; however, I prayed about my
incompetence in complete knowledge of the Word. Heck, I've not even
read the entire Bible (though I started January 2011, but became
stalled in April 2013, while reading the prophesies of Isaiah and End
Days). The words and interpretations I present here are guided by the
wisdom of the Spirit who has guided my life since October 1955. Thus,
I begin the Lord's New Message to mankind. As always, you have Free
Will to accept or reject what the Lord has asked me to divulge or
explain to you in these final days leading up to the nearing
Tribulation. Those who heed the Lord's messages and act upon them
will be rewarded. Those who choose to ignore what He has to say to
mankind, well, you have chosen your destiny and will be judged and
sentenced along with Satan, the Antichrist.
The seven churches that are spoken of
in the Book of Revelation were considered to be “centers of
communication” for the people of the “Living God”: Jesus Christ
is head of this church. The church consists of gentiles who
profess to know and/or believe in Jesus Christ. Gentiles are defined as every human who lived and walked this earth, but is not directly related to or descendant from one of the 12 Tribes of Israel (Jewish faith). The Jewish church is
called a synagogue; Israel (Jews) are God's chosen and will have
different trials/judgment during and after the Tribulation. Even
though Jesus Christ died on the cross to nullify the sins of all
man, to receive this gift of grace and redemption, you must
PERSONALLY ask Christ to rid you of past sins, ask Him into your
heart as your Lord AND Savior, then change your ways and get to know
who Jesus Christ is, what He represents, then try to lead a righteous
life dedicated to those principles.
Thus, if you are a Gentile, you belong to one of the
seven churches described below. Only two of the seven churches
currently have an open invitation to life everlasting. The faithful Christians and believers in Jesus Christ, and individuals who have decided to live the kind of righteous life God expects from His children, as taught by Jesus Christ through His chosen New Testament Disciple to the Gentiles, Paul. The remaining
five, must refine your attitudes and foundational beliefs before the
end of Tribulation (End Days) and the Second Coming (Advent) of Christ. Time
is of the essence. We are not talking about the end of this century,
but before Mid-Century; sometime between 2024 & 2054.
As with the interpretation of the Holy
scriptures, I didn't just arbitrarily pull seven names out of a hat
when I defined the Seven Angels assigned to each of the seven
churches. Five of them were named in a 4-hour Epiphany I gave laying
on a mattress on the floor in a psych ward (following my lethal
suicide attempt), between midnight and 4 a.m. on December 22, 2005.
They were not introduced as the angels at that time, but only
recalled and assigned to their respective churches as I began to
interpret the Book of Revelation. The two final angels were revealed
to me during the following 18 months.
Read now, these words as presented to
me through the Spirit in my heart, the description of the Seven
Churches in the Book of Revelation; the seven centers/churches of
communication created for the Gentiles who have lived since Christ:
CHURCH in EPHESUS:
Revelation 2:1-6
Mother Theresa = Angel to Church in Ephesus
You are “Born Again” Christians or people who have at one time
given their hearts and soul to God, truly believed; even learned to
listen and act upon the wisdom of the Holy Spirit allowing It to
dwell within your heart. However, personal or greater events
occurred, which caused doubt or question in that faith; maybe even
caused you to abandon your faith in the Lord.
Though you've always fought for good and righteousness, Satan must
have exhibited greater power in too many experiences that directly
affected you. This caused doubt in your faith and the true power of
God over evil.
You've not given in to Satan or evil ways, but no longer have the
energy or faith in God to save you. His promises of redemption and
wrath against evil seem like an impossible fight and losing battle
against a formidable opponent. Evil has overtaken humanity. A great
Creator who lives only in a person's hopes and beliefs seems to have
no chance against tangible enemies in the here and now.
Mother Theresa had doubts as to whether her tireless efforts were
even making the least bit of difference in all the sickness, hunger &
poverty she tried to fight. She questioned her faith a number of
times, but continued to hold onto her true allegiance; to the
promises of her Heavenly Creator, making her the chosen Angel for the
Church in Ephesus.
The Lord is “still in you”! He has not forsaken you for becoming
weary of your battles against Satan and his army of evil. You just
need to repent for your “fallen” time and sins you may have
committed. Clean out that space in your heart where the Spirit used
to reside, and hold a Welcome Home party.
The Lord has not forgotten the great works you once did. He gets it,
you are mortal, no super hero, but He needs you to know you can't
save the world, but you can still save YOURSELF; maybe save others
along the way, too. We are sanctioned to save those who “can” be
saved, not fight evil or injustice; the Lord and His army of angels
have that task to bear. It is written...
CHURCH in SMYRNA:
Revelation 2:8-11
Nelson
Mandela = Angel to Church in Smyrna
You, who are a part of the Church in Smyrna are the millions of
people (Gentiles) who inhabit the earth who may have learned about Jesus Christ,
who He is and represents. Even if you have no religious beliefs or
indoctrination, but understand love for one another and try to live a
righteous life advocating for humanity, seek to understand who God is
and the love He had to sacrifice His only son to assume ALL the sins
for mankind. Strive to live a life, which stays true to that love in
your heart, without breaking any of the Lord's new covenants delivered through the 13th disciple, Paul.
Most likely, you live in poverty or struggle day-to-day due to
persecution by others influenced by evil, exhibiting superiority,
prejudices or other attributes of those humans possessed by evil.
Despite all your hardships and struggles, you continue to hold onto
some faith in goodness and possible redemption of the innocent.
DO NOT give into the evil ways of the majority, but seek out the
knowledge and understanding of the Lord. Listen to your heart; for
that is where the goodness of the Spirit resides. Continue to hold
onto “inner” hope and faith that has driven you thus far.
Goodness WILL prevail and evil receive its final judgment. Do this
and you (your soul) will receive an open invitation to everlasting
life during final judgment made during the End Days.
CHURCH in PERGAMUM:
Revelation 2:12-17
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. = Angel to Church in Pergamum
You are the church of people who profess to be Christians and
believe in God & Jesus Christ. You may even belong to one church
and/or attend church with regularity. Usually, your presence is
physical; however, your spiritual presence is missing. You are
theologians, ministerial servants of God, and lay people.
You have all allowed yourself to be raped by materialistic greed,
lust and other acts of immorality condemned by God. Your mouths try
to speak of your love or the truths of being a Christian / Godly
person. You may even exhibit righteousness, but your innermost
thoughts and heart have been contaminated by benefits of worshiping
false idols. Dr. King studied the peaceful way of conquering
injustice; however, somewhere along the line, he was overwhelmed by
the growth to his ego & power his accomplishments provided. He
was chosen by God as this angel, for his accomplishments for the
goodness of man, in general; however, to represent the kind of
leaders who belong to this church.
You can still be saved. Repent of your sins and conquer the desire
to worship false idols (ego, materialism, power, wealth), the Lord
will bless you with satisfying fulfillment and life everlasting.
CHURCH
in THYATIRA:
Revelation 2:18-29
President Barack Obama = Angel to Church in Thyatira
JEZEBEL
= National “Government” Systems
SERVANTS
= Appointed & Elected Officials (who misinterpret justice or
goodness for the majority as they worship (false gods) idols
Revelation
2:20 =
Means Jezebel is teaching Servants to practice immorality by
accepting bribes from the rich, large corporations, major industries
or other world powers.
President Obama must heed these scriptures and search deep within
his heart and soul, and not be carried off with the corrupted
servants of Jezebel. Indeed, America may fall during (but most likely
after) his presidency; so long as he can look inward to his early
political and leadership days and find that soul possessing the
“truth” and “hope” of the Spirit for the good of man that
originally defined him. He must look back and inward and remember his
faith and trust in God; the Lord will reward him with a different
power after the earth has fallen into ruins.
Members of the church of Thyatira are Christians (and believers) who
are also professionally engaged in large national / international
for-profit or non-profit corporations, and hold decision or
policy-making positions. If you have or once had the love and spirit
of Christ in your heart, you need to make sure “false prophets”
have not been able to tempt or lure you into worshiping their idols
of greed, lust, wealth, materialism, or notoriety through power at
the sacrifice of human lives and God's teachings.
Our Lord is a forgiving and merciful Lord. You can still save
yourself before the Tribulation, but you must repent of your sins,
ask forgiveness and stop worshiping those other idols and false gods.
Be extra vigilant in these present days, as the Tribulation fast
approaches. The true Antichrist is now amongst us. His administrative
and persuasive abilities will be so overpowering that many from this
church will easily be lured to follow his enticing promises for peace
and unity.
You have the necessary skills and leadership that Christ values and
can utilize as He rules ALL nations following the Tribulation. You
can still have everlasting life and have a special place in God's
plan during Christ's millennium.
CHURCH in SARDIS:
Revelation 3:1-6
Pope John Paul II = Angel to Church in Sardis
You are the church of theologians who profess to teach about God,
Jesus Christ, and Christianity; ordained or not – male or female –
Jew or Gentile. This includes all denominations, inclusive, who teach
and believe God is the Creator and Father of the Universe, and Jesus
Christ, the Savior of mankind.
Many of you have the true Spirit of the Lord in your hearts and
souls and have NEVER been tempted or strayed from your service.
Continue to serve and live in Christ and Him in you, until the end,
and you will certainly experience life everlasting.
Many have demonstrated imperfect
work or behavior since clothing yourself in the service of the Lord.
Remember, God knows and sees all. Remember the promises you made when
you chose to serve. It is not too late to repent of your sinfulness,
reawaken and escape the 2nd
death with everlasting life.
The rest of you are fence riders, neither awake nor dead. Conquer
death now by choosing to fully awaken yourself fully to serve and
live in love and righteousness of the Lord, and you will be
guaranteed life everlasting.
CHURCH in PHILADELPHIA:
Revelation 3:7-13
Mahatma Gandhi = Angel to Church in Philadelphia
You are the true and holy church. Gandhi understood the true
Christian principles and was the closest human to live a pure “Life
in Christ” since the days of the New Testament, thus gaining the
honor of becoming the first earthbound angel that would blow his
trumpet, initiating the beginning of the end, leading up to the
Tribulation and End Days.
You're the faithful followers and believers in Christ who have
accepted the grace and salvation offered to those who choose to
study, understand, and try to live and love fellow man as Jesus
Christ did. The Holy Spirit lives in your heart where you can always
find peace, joy, comfort & wisdom to face whatever trials evil
throws your way to test your faith.
You are God's human, earthbound warriors seeking opportunities to
share God's love and be present-day lay disciples of Christ to bring
love and understanding to the lost and downtrodden. You are tasked to
show the lost that there is still hope for their future, pull them
down off the fence, and introduce them to peace and the chance for
life everlasting.
You serve in the trenches; often with the worst of the worst, but
have found that true inner peace and joy that only the deeply
faithful and committed believers possess. Hold onto that faith and
never falter, no matter what you face, now or in the future. Always
“listen” and feel with your heart, for you have already received
an “open door” invitation to everlasting life. Many of the
144,000 (Rev. 14:1-5) will come from this church, as they are the
ones who will spend the last 3-1/2 years during the Tribulation
traveling the earth, speaking in tongues, to save as many lost or
forgotten souls to learn about and accept Christ as their Savior.
CHURCH in LAODICEA:
Revelation 3:14-22
Oprah Winfrey = Angel to Church in Laodicea
This is the largest of all the churches. You are the mass of people
around the world who are considered “Lukewarm Christians”. You
aren't on fire with the love of Christ in your heart, but have not
totally abandoned Him and stepped out into the cold to join Satan's
army. However, you are at the greatest risk of being deceived by the
Antichrist and ending up in the trenches with Satan during the period
of Tribulation.
Lukewarm Christians come from Christian families or seek
Christianity as an adult. You've obtained just enough education about
who God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and Bible Old & New
Testaments are to be comfortable at church or admitting you are a
Christian. However, your education about what makes a Christian
“saved” or allow someone to experience “life everlasting” is
incomplete or corrupt.
You are under the impression
that being “saved” or receiving the privilege of “everlasting
life” (even the rapture – another misnomer) are EARNED by your
actions or deeds; especially financial contributions to the church or
other “worthy causes”. Actually, a homeless person who is
penniless and whose only vice is getting quietly
intoxicated, yet carries a Holy Bible everywhere, reads from it every
day, and possesses the hope and belief in what the scriptures say,
has a greater likelihood of peace and life everlasting than the
wealthiest person in the world giving all their money away to
“worthy” causes, while still living in sin.
You must have the “desire”
deep in your heart
to want to know, understand, and follow the example of Christ with
your own life. Being a Christian is not something you do part time or
just an image to portray by doing certain “things” to win
“brownie points” with the holy Father from above.
No specific number of good acts
or dollars will get God's attention and an open door invitation to
Heaven. It's as simple as this, you must be zealous and repent and
remember God has an open door to any
and every human who
desires to truly seek and understand Him.
Every human since the day Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden,
has lived and acted upon the gift of free will, granted us by God, to
live lives in sin. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on the cross to
make it possible for all of mankind's sins, as a result of our free
will, to be washed away; however, it also takes this free will for
every human to choose to accept the Lord's gift of Grace. He stands
at the door of your heart knocking. All you have to do is listen for
the knock and the loving voice asking to enter. If you open the door
and allow the Lord to come in to eat at your table, He will remain
with you as long as you remain a willing host(ess). He will show you
how to conquer your fears, find true joy in your life, no matter what
your status or age.
Confess your sins, now, invite Christ into your life (open the door
to your heart) as your personal Savior, and live your life listening
to the wisdom the Holy Spirit speaks to you to guide your daily life.
You will NEVER be alone. If you do this, and never ask the Spirit to
leave your heart, you will have an open door to everlasting life on
earth and in Heaven.
