    The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023
     | 1,039 views

    Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

    In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

    Tabernacles points to Jesus as the light of the world, the water of life and the coming King.

    The 7th feast of Israel is “The Feast of Tabernacles.” It’s often called “Tabernacles,” because the Jews lived in tabernacles to remind them of God’s provision in the 40 year wilderness wandering, when Israel lived in similar shelters.
