church in SMYRNA

 

The LORD's command to the church in Smyrna:

Revelation 2:8-10

King James Version

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.

To those that overcome:

Revelation 2:11

King James Version

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 next post is on the church in Pergamos.
