21 | Was Satan's throne only in Smyrna? | Rev 2:13 | Pemican | 14051 | ||
I think you ment to say Pergamum rather than Smyrna, Steve. I take the letters to the seven churches to be literal and historical rather than prophetical in nature, and therefore would answer that at that time Satan's headquarters was in Pergamum. However, he moves around as necessary to suit himself and the historical circumstances. In Ezekiel 28:12-19, for example, there is a lamentaion over the "King of Tyre" who is clearly Satan and not the human King of Tyre. So in this passage he is associated with Tyre. I think there are other passages dealing with Babylon, Egypt, etc. Also at this time in history he still has access to Heaven, so I wouldn't try to pin him down to a specific address (or URL as the case may be). BTW, I am new here to this forum, just joined today, and it looks to be a good place to be. In His Grace, Pemican |

22 | What does Revelation 3:14-22 mean? | Rev 3:14 | Pemican | 42494 | ||
jendaddie, a few thoughts on the passage (Rev 3:14-22). The three categories of people in the passage are all believer in Christ. (The letter is written to a church of believers not to unbelievers). The hot believers are active believers who are pursuing the plan of God and are receptive to the teaching of the Word. The cold believers are just the opposite but they are not deluded about themselves and know they are cold. God can reach the cold believer through discipline. The lukewarm believer is self deluded, as per verse 17, and does not respond to either the Word of God, (the easy way), or to divine discipline, (the hard way), and is therefore unusable and unreachable by God. Compare this passage with Matthew 12:30. Verse 20 is a well-known verse, frequently quoted as a salvation invitation to the unbeliever. It is not! This passage is an invitation to the believer to return to fellowship with the Lord. The unbeliever is found nowhere in the context of the passage. Pemican |
