Revelation 2: Smyrna

Plain Revelation-Rebirth may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about the book of Revelation, but in the final chapters we see the new heaven and the new earth coming down.Plain Revelation-simple, straight forward talks about how it all will end and begin again…a chapter by chapter look at the book of Revelation. It is delineations of disappointments, determinations, and destructions. It defines what already is, what will be, what is that no longer will be, all with such certainty that there is no question about its advent, course of trajectory, or its completion/fulfillment. Correction-in the podcast I call this episode 89 but it is actually episode 88!This episode looks at the Church in Smyrna, Revelation 2:8-11. They are one of the churches doing things right-Jesus has nothing bad to say to them, instead tells them that, in spite of their present persecution and poverty, they are RICH. He gives them two important commandments that all of us should obey. You will find this episode super encouraging! We've got to hold on tight and run for the finish line because our victory is already guaranteed!Why these seven churches in Asia? - Bible Study Tools website(In the opening intro of this episode, Kenny mentions the Frothy Monkey Coffee House in beautiful downtown Franklin, Tennessee.
