Introduction
Now the seven (7) assemblies in Asia, as pointed out earlier in the first chapter of Revelation, not only represent the 7 spirits before Elohim’s throne, but also represent the spirits that were sealed in each of the seven (7) dispensations and three (3) ages (2 Cor. 1:22; Rev. 6:9-11). In other words, 1/3 of the angels cast out of heaven (Rev. 12:4) with Lucifer are being replaced by the seven (7) stars.


These seven (7) assemblies were the assemblies that began this Present Kingdom Age of Grace.


As the children of Israel left Egypt and sinned by breaking the Mosaic Law in the wilderness (Exo. 32nd Ch.; Deuteronomy 9:9-12) so did these seven assemblies sin by breaking the New Covenant.


After slaying the lamb, putting the blood on the door, and exiting Egypt through the divided waters of the Red Sea, Israel came to Mount Sinai where Yahweh spoke the 10 commandment Law down into their consciousness. They violated or broke the Law by building the golden calf which was symbolized by Moses breaking the first tables of stone (Exo. 32:19; 34:1).  


Now we have the first assemblies of Yahweh in a similar situation as Israel at the Mount, breaking the Law of Yahweh under the New Covenant of Grace. Simply put, this is a repeat of Israel’s transgression. 
___________________________


These seven (7) assemblies were formed in Asia after the crucifixion, burial, resurrection of the Messiah and outpouring of the Holy Spirit under the New Covenant. 


Sixty-three (63) years later the Alpha and Omega appears to John in a vision and tells him to send the vision of the Book of Revelation to the seven assemblies. 


As Yahshua addresses each of these seven assemblies he tells John the faults he finds with them, as he did with Israel.  


Yahshua told these assemblies to repent, which is the message for all in this Present Kingdom Age of Grace (Matt. 4:17; Lk. 13:3; Acts 2:38).
___________________________


To the church of Ephesus John wrote that he saw Elohim with seven stars in his right hand walking in the midst of the seven branched golden candlestick.


Now you must go and look up the book of Ephesians with its six chapters to understand why Paul wrote the epistle to this Gentile assembly, the only one of the seven to which anyone wrote.  Paul is asking them whether they knew about the Dispensation of Grace which hid the mystery that the Gentiles should be grafted into the body of the Messiah.  Paul understood this by revelation which was not known in previous ages.


Gal. 3:1-6 “3 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”


These 7 assemblies correlate with the 7 steps in the tabernacle starting from the Most Holy Place to the Court Round About and the 7 days of creation (See Elohim text, Page 126, Volume I.


Now the Assemblies are ranked by the form in which Elohim appears. For example, Ephesus is the first assembly by rank because Elohim appears in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks with the seven stars in his right hand. Laodiceans is the last assembly by rank because Elohim appears as the beginning of the creation, which means it’s the beginning of the age. Note: if you were to rank the assemblies according to what Elohim told each one, and not the order, Philadelphia would be the door. “Rev. 3:8 “I have set before thee an open door.”

​

1 Ephesus Assembly - Most Holy Place


Rev. 2:1-2 “1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.”


Now Moses found some of Israel to be liars who built the golden calf after hearing Yahweh from speaking the 10 commandments from Mt Sinai (Exo. 32nd Ch.).


Rev. 2:3 “3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.”


Israel had no patience when Moses was in the mount 40 days and 40 nights. Some of Israel fainted (Exo. 32:1-2) and demanded that Aaron build the golden calf.


Rev. 2:4 “4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.”
    
Understanding who is their first love is the first principle of truth angels and humans must learn. Lucifer was the first example of an angel who violated the first love principle. This occurred when he said in his heart “I will be like the Most High (Isa. 14:12-14)”.


The Apostle Paul defines the first love law in Hebrews that was given to the angels “And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.” Hebrews 1:6 KJV


Law
Moses wrote: “Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our Elohim is one Yahweh : and thou shalt love the Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5


Prophets 
The angels didn’t understand what their first love was else they wouldn’t have been deceived by Lucifer. 


Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: Job 4:18


In the fulfillment the Messiah pointed out who was the first love.  “And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim out with of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with of all thy strength, and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'" Lk. 10:27


Paul told the Colossians that the firstborn Elohim has preeminence over all things.


Colossians 1:15-18 “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
_________


Rev. 2:5 “5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”


Now Lucifer fell by the pattern of the tabernacle from his heavenly state of mind which is the Most Holy Place (Lk. 10:18). By the pattern, Lucifer entered the Holy Place where he took on the flesh or carnal state of conscienceless where he refused to repent. However, Adam & Eve, those of Israel who died believing in the Messiah, King David, etc., who all fell according to the Law of Moses, repented at the resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah when He went into the grave and preached (Isa. 61:1-2; Matt. 27:51-53).
____________


Rev. 2:6-7  “6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” 


Their doctrine was similar to Balaam. 


“The Ephesians worship idols and ate food to idols. It may be that the doctrine of the Nicolaitans was dualistic. They probably reasoned that the human body was evil anyway and only the spirit was good. A Christian, therefore, could do whatever he desired with his body because it had no importance. The spirit, on the other hand, was the recipient of grace which meant that grace and forgiveness were his no matter what he did. They were those ready to compromise with the world.”

Rev. 2:7 “7 To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” 


Adam and Eve could partake of the tree of life before the transgression (Gen. 2:16; Gen. 3:1-3).

Smyrna - 2nd Vail


Rev 2:8-10 “8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”


Now the True Jew in this age is a spiritual Jew, not circumcised physically, but spiritually.  (Rom. 2:28-29). The Scribes and Pharisees are not the True Jew in this age because they rejected Yahshua (Matt. 23:13-29).


This is a repeat of Peter being released from jail 10 years after the Messiah’s Resurrection (Acts 12th Chapt.; See 2300 day prophecy Elohim book, Page 48, Volume IV “and reconfirmed by Peter’s imprisonment and release in A.D. 43 or 10 years to the date after the resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah (Acts 12:1-19).”) and also Israel being released from Egypt after the 10 plagues devastated that nation (Exo. 7-12 Chaps.). Aaron and Moses revealed that Pharaoh was Satan in Egypt by him resisting the ten plagues and Israel was imprisoned and enslaved by Pharaoh until they came out Egypt.


Rev. 2:11 “11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.”


The second death in this Present Kingdom Age is those in physical bodies, not sealed with the Holy Spirt before their death or the end of this age. Those who resurrected from the grave with Yahshua were the first resurrection (Matt. 27:52-53).

3 Pergamos Assembly - Holy Place


Rev. 2:12-13 “12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.” 


Moses knew what was causing Israel’s disobedience in the wilderness for Yahweh sent serpents to bite them for their sins and many died. Yahweh told Moses to make a pole with a serpent (Num. 21:9) and those that looked upon the poles were healed.


Dr. Kinley wrote about Israel’s ‘ignominious’ behavior in the wilderness in the Elohim text, Vol. 4, p. 33.


“…The further extended or continued ‘Ignominious Conduct’ of Israel toward Yahweh, caused by the Invisible Presence of Satan and his host among the Israelites, nearing the end of their sojourn in the Wilderness, caused Yahweh to send fiery Serpents among them and many of the Israelites died because they were bitten by them (Numbers 21:4-6). Yahweh told Moses to make and erect the ‘Brazen Serpent’ upon a pole, that whosoever was bitten by a Serpent and then looketh upon the Brazen Serpent shall live (Numbers 21:6-9; Revelation 9:19-21; John 3:14-15).”


Antipas’ death correlates with Stephen being stoned (Acts 7:59 ) and the devil being the Scribes and Pharisees who persecuted the Bride of Yahweh.


Rev. 2:14 “14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.” 


Now Balaam was a gentile prophet that Yahweh spoke through when Balak, the king of Moab, asked Balaam to curse Israel to get victory over them for money and prestige. “8 And he (Balaam) said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 9 And Elohim came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 10 And Balaam said unto Elohim, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.” Num. 22:8-12 KJV


Balak came to Balaam again with more presents requesting the same thing.  The second time Yahweh told Balaam to go with them. Balaam was on this way when Yahweh spoke through his ass and warned him not to curse Israel. Balaam blessed Israel several times. (Num. 22:15-41; 23:8-11)


Balaam told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols. The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result (Numbers 31:16).


Rev. 2:15 “15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.” 


Yahweh hated the Nicolaitanes because their doctrine was similar to Balaam where they enticed truth seekers to embrace pagan ways.


Rev. 2:16-17 “16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” 

Israel was told to gather manna for six days in the Wilderness, but not on the 7th day (Exo. 16:26). The white stone is a repeat of the 12 stones as a memorial for Israel piercing the River Jordan. (Joshua 4:1-7). For those who have pierced the vail of the flesh, we know the name of Yahshua, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Note: Now Thyatira Assembly should switch positions with Philadelphia Assembly if you rank it by the content of what He told the assembly not the form of Yahshua.
  
4 Assembly of Thyatira - Door to the Holy Place


Rev. 2:18-20 “20 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” 


The Jezebel spirits entered this Present Kingdom Age of Grace and deceived many Thyatira so-called believers in Yahshua to worship Baal as Jezebel spirits did in previous ages. (See fiery serpents in the Holy Place on p. 11 above.) The Thyatiran so-called believers in Yahshua offered sacrifices unto Baal and denied the True Sacrifice, Yahshua the Messiah (Jn. 1:29)


Now Jezebel was a Phoenician who were renown great merchants and prefigured Mystery Babylon the Great (Rev. 17:5) that sat on the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns. 


The Phoenicians were also worshipers of Baal and Asherah. Now Jezebel and her husband Ahab introduced Baal worship to Israel, which was forbidden by the laws of Moses (1 Kings 16:30, 33). 


Baal was a fertility god. “People would make sacrifices to him so they could have rich soil, much rain, good weather, etc. This would hopefully bring them great crop harvests. They believed Baal controlled such things as rain. He was also considered to be a sun god.”….”Baal being a fertility god had worship that involved sex orgies. They worshiped an idol which was in the shape of an enlarged male sex organ, an asherah. Temple prostitutes supported the temple worship of Baal. Its worship was filled with perversion, homosexuality, immorality and sexual promiscuity….Baal goes after children. Child sacrifice was part of his deal. Children were sacrificed to a god called Molech in the Old Testament. However, they were also sacrificed to Baal…,”.  
Is Baal worship going on in USA and we don’t even know it?

Rev. 2:22-23 “23 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” 


This is a repeat of David committing adultery with Bathsheba and having a child with her. David killed her husband Uriah by sending him to the heat of battle and Yahweh killed the child. (2 Sam. 11:3-5; 12:15-18)


Rev. 2:24-25 “24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.” 


He is speaking to these Thyatiran truth seekers who were not deceived by Jezebel and her cohorts, but followed the truth.


Rev. 2:26-29 “26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star.”


Yahweh told Israel that if they would be obedient, they would rule over the Gentiles. When Joshua entered Canaan Land with the 144,000, Yahweh fought for them to give them their inheritance. (Joshua 10th Chapter)


Rev 2:29 “29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

5 Sardis Assembly - Brazen Laver 
Rev. 3:1-2 “1 To the angel[a] of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God." 


King Solomon was wealthy and alive, but dead because he worshipped his wives idols (I Kings 11:4).


Also see the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezek. 37th Chapter.


Rev. 3:3-6 “3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,(G) and you will not know at what time(H) I will come to you. 4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life,(M) but will acknowledge that name before my Father(N) and his angels. 6 Whoever has ears, let them hear(O) what the Spirit says to the churches.”


This refers to Moses asking Yahweh to blot his name out to the book of life (Exo. 32:32-33). Yahweh replied that he would blot them out of the book that sinned against him.

6 Philadelphia - Brazen Altar 
Rev. 3:7-8 “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; 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.” 


Yahweh made an open door for the children of Israel to come out of Egypt by dividing the waters of the Red Sea which correlates to the door of the tabernacle (Exo. 14:13-31).


David was given the key or plan to Solomon’s temple in a vision of the tabernacle pattern (1 Chronicles 28:10-13; II Chronicles 2:1-2).


Matt. 7:7-8 Ask and you shall be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened.


Isa. 22:22 “22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.”


This prophecy was revealed by the Scriptures being opened to the disciples understanding in Luke 24:44-46. 


Rev. 3:9 “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.” 


We have mentioned this before.  They of the synagogue of Satan are the deceivers in the gospel and those that kept the Law of Moses after Grace. There were those in the assembly who made the Jews be circumcised again. (Acts 15:1-2; 28-29)


Rev. 3:10-11 “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. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." 


The hour of temptation occurred when the Messiah was in the Garden of Gethsemane and the disciples abandoned him (Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-46).


Rev. 3: 12-13 “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. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” 


This refers to the Messiah’s disciples after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2nd Chap). They could withstand persecution and hold on to the principles of the gospel of Yahshua the Messiah. Thus, being in this heavenly minded state, they were in New Jerusalem.  The Apostle didn’t go out and embrace or be swayed by any other doctrine.

7 Laodiceans Assembly - Gate to the Outer Court
Rev. 3:14-16 “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; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”  


Here the analogy hot means strong passion for Yahweh and cold means lack of trust in Yahweh. Luke warm means they vacillated between the two.  Elijah told Baal’s prophets how long will you halter between two opinions (1 Kings 18:21).


Israel’s behavior in the wilderness with Moses showed they had no faith in Yahweh. When confronted with any obstacle their minds would revert back into Egypt, which showed them to be cold. Now when Yahweh fixed the situation, they were hot or had a passion for Him.


“But for all this, you did not trust the Lord your God, who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to encamp, in fire by night and cloud by day, to show you the way in which you should go. (Deut. 1:32-33)”


Rev. 3:17-22 “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:” 


The parable of Lazarus and the rich man (Lk. 16:19-21). The rich man after death went to hell and asked Lazarus for a fingertip of water. The Pharisees thought they were rich because they had the law Moses and refused to acknowledge Yahshua the Messiah. (John 5:39).  They were not clothed in the white remnants of the Messiah which is his righteousness (Eph. 2:8-9).


Rev. 3: 18-22 “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. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." 


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