A QUIET MOMENT WITH GOD
LOVING THE LORD IS SIMPLE. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES WE CAN STRUGGLE WITH READING AND UNDERSTANDING GOD’S MESSAGE TO US. THIS BIBLE PLAN IS DESIGNED TO BE A DAILY GUIDE THROUGH GOD’S WORD, HIS PROMISES AND HIS DESIRES FOR OUR FUTURE, BOTH ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN, AS TRUE BELIEVERS, Study – (Psalm 119:105).
WEEK 7
This is about the church ages as revealed to John the apostle. In these church ages the Lord identified himself first. To each age he qualified himself in unmistakable terms. Secondly, He said to each church age, “I know thy works.” He had somewhat against some of the Churches and finally He had a reward of each church age Overcomers. For out of the Church Ages come the Seven Seals, and out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of the Trumpets come the Vials. Study and Compare Daniel 7:13-14 and Rev. 1:7, 12-17, before the Church Ages. As you study you will find out that Jesus Christ was the one talking about the revelation which God gave unto him, the Son, and Jesus Christ was the one giving the message, but always said, “Let him hear what the Spirit said,” Jesus Christ is that Spirit, and in John 4:24, Jesus said, “God is a Spirit.” And the Spirit was here talking in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is both God, Son and Spirit. Remember John 1:1 and 14.
{The elect group will come out of the seven church ages: But a group comes out of the 7th church age that will be joined with the risen to do a powerful work before translation. This church will come in different names and characteristics. And there shall be a total and full redemption by Christ Jesus. This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is at hand to reveal the same into all holy seekers and loving enquirers. It is called the Virgin church. The presence of the Divine Ark will constitute the life of this Holy, Pure, Chaste and virgin church. Sure to be part of it.}
In the Church Ages, you will find that Jesus Christ identified and introduced himself in various ways, that make you know, that Jesus Christ is really God and no other besides him.
Day 1
Rev. 2:5, “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.
{This Divine Ark shall be wherever this body is, the Virgin Church. Authority shall be given by Christ to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true church. His decision will be the actual sealing of the body of Christ with the name or authority of God, Jesus Christ. Giving them a commission to act by the same Name. This new name or authority will distinguish them from Babylon. The election and preparation of this Virgin Church is to be after a secret and hidden manner.}

| The Church Ages One
Church of Ephesus |
Rev. 2:1-7
1st John 2:1-17 Remember the song, “Let’s talk about Jesus.” |
Firstly, The Lord Jesus Christ, in all the churches identified himself.
Jesus identified himself as “He that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks,” (Rev. 1:3, 16). Their works He knew their works, labor and patience for my name’s sake and have not fainted. Also thou hatest the deeds (being lords over God’s heritage- create lords and commoners for control) of the Nicolaitans, which I hate also. Their Faults But I have ought against you. You have left your first love (for the Lord and lost souls). Their rewards “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” |
Rev. 1:1-11
1st John 2:18-29 |
This is the revelation of Jesus Christ,( of himself) in his sonship office given to him from his office as God the Father.He is both God and Son and Holy Spirit.
This is the only book in the Bible written at the dictation of Jesus Christ himself. Remember, this important fact in verse 3, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Do not listen to any person that tells you not to read the Book of Revelation. If you are a true believer, if you read and don’t understand it, go to God in prayer and He will teach you. No one understands it all but believe every word of God and keep the sayings, warning and have the expectations written therin. |
Rev.2:7, “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
1st John 2:15, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” |
Day 2
Rev. 2:10, “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer —-Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
{None shall stand under God but those who have become the “tried stones”, after the pattern and similitude of Christ. This will be a fiery trial, through which only a few will be able to pass. Whereby the waiters for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of pure love.}

| The Church Ages – two
Church in Smyrna |
Rev. 2:8-11
Rom. 9:1-8 Remember the song, “Wear a crown.” and also, “I have anchored in Jesus.” |
In this second church age, Jesus identified himself as, “The first and the last, which was dead and is alive,” (Rev. 1: 11, 18).
Their works He knew their works, and their tribulations, and poverty but thou art rich. And I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not (false believers) but are the synagogue of satan. Fear not what ye shall suffer, the devil will cast some of you into prison, to be tried, ye shall have tribulation; be thou faithful unto death No Faults Their rewards I will give thee a crown of life. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. |
Rev.1: 12-17
Rom. 9:26-33. |
This shows one the awesomeness of God. On earth Jesus was the Son of God who humbled himself and limited himself to Mary’s womb as an incubator, He is the creator and does what pleases him. Here he was back in heaven and back to full deity without limitations. John laid on his shoulder on earth but now in his appearance as God Almighty, John fell as dead before him. His eyes were as a flame of fire, his voice as many waters. That is Mr Eternity. | Rev. 1:18, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen and have the keys of hell and of death.”
Rev. 2:11, “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” |
Day 3
Rev. 2:16, “Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.”
{Some trials will be absolute necessity for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning away of all wood and stubble, nothing must remain in the fire, as a refiners fire, so shall He purify the sons of the Kingdom. Some will be fully redeemed, being clothed upon with a priestly garment after Melchizedek order. Qualifying them for governing authority. Therefore it is required on their part to suffer the fanning of the fiery breath, searching every part within them, until they arrive at a fixed body from whence the wonders is to flow.}

| The Church Age three
Church in Pergamos |
Rev 2:12-17
Proverbs 22:1-4 Numbers 22:1-13 Remember the song, “When the roll is called up yonder.” |
In the third Church Age Jesus Christ identified himself as, “He which hath the sharp sword with two edges,” (Rev. 1:16).
Their works Where thou dwellest, even where satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith, (even in martyrdom). Their Faults Thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel (same in the church today), to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. And also hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitians, which thing I hate also.” Their Rewards 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. |
Rev. 1:18-20
1st John 1:1-10 Numbers 25:1-13 Numbers 31:1-8 |
The Balaam and the Nicolaitian doctrines were the two major destroyers of the third church age. And the same is happening today in the churches.
Balaam was religious, worshiped God, he understood the proper method of sacrificing and approaching unto God, but he was not a True seed prophet for he took the wages of unrighteousness, and worst of all, he led the people of God into the sin of fornication and idolatry. Remember being one with the Word proves whether you are of God and Spirit filled. Nicolaitans doctrine has to do with conquering the laity; that is, church leaders making themselves lords over God’s heritage; the lords and the commoners. |
Rev 2:17,”To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, an in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saying he that receiveth it.”
Rev. 2:16, “Repent, or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.” |
Day 4
Rev. 2:21-25, “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold I will cast her into bed and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 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: —– as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depth of satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden. But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.”
{There are characteristics and marks whereby the pure, virgin church shall be known and distinguished from all others that are low, false and counterfeit. There must be a manifestation of the Spirit whereby to edify and raise up this church; whereby bringing heaven down upon them, where their head and majesty doth reign.}

| The Church Age four
Church in Thyatira |
Rev. 2:18-23
1st Kings 16:28-34 Remember the song, “What a day that will be.” |
In the Fourth Church Age, Jesus identified himself as, “The Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass.”
Their works He knew their works and charity,, and service and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. The Faults 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 to idols. Their Rewards He that overcometh, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron,—— And I will give him the morning star. |
Rev. 2:24-29
1st Kings 18:17-40 |
Jezebel means an impudent, shameless, or morally unrestrained woman. Jezebel in the Bible was deep in idolatry, baalism. (The Jezebel here was not the same as the one in the days of Elijah, but the spirit in them seems the same, love for idolatry). The woman wants to dominate the man and that is a perversion of the word of God. Fornication here is idol worship. The churches represent women, and when they teach false doctrines, perversion, idolatry they become false prophetesses.
|
Rev. 2:23, “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.”
Rev.2 26-27,”And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron.” |
Day 5
Rev.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.”
{And none but those who have ascended and received of His glory can communicate the same, being thereby his representatives upon the earth and subordinate priests under him. Consequently He will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain high and principal instruments, who shall be most humble and little regarded as David.}

| The Church Age Five
Church in Sardis |
Rev. 3:1-6
1st Thess. 5:1-28 Remember the song, “The Lily of the Valley.” |
To the Church in Sardis, Jesus Christ identified himself as, “He that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars.”
Their works I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou lives, and art dead. Their Faults Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Their Rewards They shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 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. |
2nd Peter 3:1-18
Matt. 24:42-51 Let us go therefore, to perfection and meet the Lord in the air, and be forever with him- Amen. |
This church age was unfulfilled. They were involved in reformation and not restoration by the word and Spirit of God. Many new churches today are a result of seeking for restoration of the apostolic ways but end up only reforming into another church devoid of the apostolic power and word of God.
Remember no earthly voice will ever sound your name as sweetly as will the voice of God if your name is in the Book of life and remains there to be revealed before the holy angels. Jesus Christ, God calling you by name. |
Rev. 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.”
Rev. 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.” |
DAY 6
Rev. 3:9-10, “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews (believers of today), 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.” 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.” {The hour of temptation will be like when the serpent tempted Eve in the garden of Eden. It will be a very inviting proposition held up in direct opposition to God’s commanded word, it will humanly look very right, so enlightening and life-giving as to fool the world. Only the very elect will not be fooled. The temptation will come as follows. The temptation will come as follows: The ecumenical move will seek to unite all churches in brotherly come together; this becomes so strong politically that she bears pressure upon the government to cause all to join to her, directly or indirectly. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, thinking it is better to join and still serve God, but they err. They were deceived , they did not hold to his word and name and pateince. But the elect will not be deceived. As this deadly move becomes the “Image” erected to the beast; the saints will be gone in the rapture.
{Therefore there will be a holy ambition stirred up among the bands of believers, that they may be of the first fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principle agents for and with Him.}

| The Church Age six
Church in Philadelphia |
Rev. 3:7-10
Isaiah 44:8, “ Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.” Remember the song, “I am bound for the promised land.” |
To the Church in Philadelphia, Jesus Christ identified himself as, “ He that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
Their Works 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. They had no Faults Their Rewards Rev. 3:12, “ Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and ha 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.” |
Rev. 3:11-13
Psalm 1:1-6 Remember the song, “Blessed Assurance.” |
Isaiah 41:4, “Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.”
The Lord said, there is an hour of temptation coming upon all the world to try them but promised to keep those who kept the word of his patience. |
Rev. 3:11,”Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
Isaiah 43:11, “ I even I, am the Lord; and beside me is no Savior.” Rev. 3:12, “I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and ha 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.” |
Day 7
Rev. 3:19-20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door (of your heart), I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
(Time is short and the door of mercy is closing). Unless a church receives the Spirit of God, she will go on substituting a program for power and creed for Word.
{They may be the number of the first born of the new Jerusalem mother, all true waiters of His Kingdom in spirit, and may be numbered among the virgin spirits to whom this message pertains: Be watchful and quicken your pace. John 1;12, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God.” This means those who believe upon His Name, Jesus Christ. Immediately after the appearance of this Sonship company, the judgment of God will visit the nations, who are contrary to the will of God. He that overcometh shall walk with Me in glory. I will restore saith the Word of the Lord.}

| The Church Age seven
Church of the Laodiceans |
Rev. 3:14-17
Dan. 3:1-15 Remember the song, “Amazing Grace.” |
In the 7th and last Church Age, Jesus identified himself as The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.
Their works That thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Their Faults 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. Their Rewards 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. |
Rev. 3:18-22
Dan.3: 16-30 |
Counsel
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire (Christian character which is the only thing to get you to heaven and it is produced in the fiery furnace of afflictions, that produce divine love, holiness, purity and all the fruits of the Spirit, Gal. 5: 22-23). That thou mayest be rich towards God; And white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear (the garment of salvation, Rom. 13:14, But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ “been born again” and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof; Gal. 5:19-21). And anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see, (Without the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you can never have your eyes opened to a true Spiritual revelation of the word of God. A man without the Spirit is blind to God and His truth), Gal. 3:2. |
Rev. 3:16, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot: I will spew thee out of my mouth.”
Dan. 3:17, “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.” Dan 3:18, “But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up,” (Remember Rev. 13:12). |
