Offenbarung ~ Revelation 389Wesley und George Whitefield, vondenen die Erweckungsbewegung derMethodisten ausging, zu nennen; fernerdie Taufgesinnten, die Kamisarden, diePuritaner und die Salzburger, die wegenihres Glaubens aus der Heimat vertriebenwurden. Sie und manche andere warenes, “die ihre Gewänder nicht befleckthaben”. Sie werden mit Jesus [Jahschua]“in Weiß einhergehen, denn sie sindes würdig (3,4). Jesus [Jahschua] gibtihnen auch die Verheißung, dass er ihren“Namen nicht aus der Buchrolle desLebens auslöschen” und ihren “Namenvor seinem Vater und vor seinen Engelnbekennen wird” (3,5).Explanation of Ernst Simon: Themunicipality Sardis (renewal) is the imageof the Reformation church from 1517 to1798 AD. It has a living name, but it isdead. (3:1). Jesus [Yahshua] is identifiedby such a mindless community as the onewho has the fullness of the Spirit of God(3:1). The Reformation period was notthe one which complies with its name:return to the full light of salvation andcomplete proclamation of the truths ofthe Word of God. The hammer blows ofDr. Martin Luther with his thesis posteredto the Castle Church in Wittenberg wouldhave not only announced the beginningof the Reformation era, but must alsohave led to total rejection and solution ofall unscriptural teachings of the RomanChurch. However, the work begun by theReformers stuck in its infancy, and wascompletely paralyzed after the deathof Luther and other reformers. Thatis why Jesus [Yahshua] says: „I havenot found your deeds complete in thesight of My God.” (3:2). “This is an agecomprehending spiritual lethargy andsleepiness of the Protestant centuries”(Seiss I, 138). The faithful who triedto strengthen “the others”, fought invain (3:2). “But you only have a fewnames which have not defiled theirgarments” (3:4). Among them are thereformers Jakob Spener and HermannFrancke, the founders of Pietism; alsoCount of Zinzendorf and his wife, whoaccommodated the Bohemian-MoravianBrethren persecuted for their faith bythe Jesuits. Next to mention are thebrothers John and Charles Wesleyand George Whitefield, from whom theMethodist revival movement emanated;also the Anabaptists, the Camisards, thePuritans and the Salzburgers, who wereexpelled from their homeland for theirbeliefs, them and many others “who havenot defiled their garments”. They shallwalk with Jesus [Yahshua] “in white, forthey are worthy (3:4). Jesus [Yahshua]also gives them a promise “not to erasetheir names from the scroll of life” andto confess their names before the Fatherand before his angels” (3:5).Offb 3,7 Und dem Engel derGemeinde zu Philadelphia schreibe:Das sagt der Heilige, der Wahrhaftige,der da hat den Schlüssel Davids, derauftut, und niemand schließt zu, derzuschließt, und niemand tut auf:KJV + EL = And to the angel of theassembly in Philadelphia write:THESE THINGS SAYS HE THAT ISHOLY, HE THAT IS TRUE, HE THATHAS THE KEY OF DAVID, HE THATOPENS, AND NO MAN SHALL SHUTS,AND SHUTS, AND NO MAN OPENS;Jes 22,22Offb 3,8 Ich weiß deine Werke.Siehe, ich habe vor dir gegebeneine offene Tür, und niemandkann sie zuschließen; denn duhast eine kleine Kraft, und hastmein Wort behalten und hastmeinen Namen nicht verleugnet.KJV + EL = I KNOW YOUR WORKS:BEHOLD, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOUAN OPEN DOOR, AND NO MAN CANSHUT IT: FOR YOU HAVE A LITTLESTRENGTH (POWER), AND HAVEKEEP MY WORD, AND HAVE NOTDENIED MY NAME.Offb 3,9 Siehe, ich werde geben ausder Synagoge (Volks-/Gemeinde)des Satans, die da sagen, sie seienJuden, und sind‘s nicht, sondernlügen; SIEHE, ICH WILL SIE DAZUBRINGEN, DASS SIE KOMMENSOLLEN UND NIEDERFALLEN ZUDEINEN FÜSSEN UND ERKENNEN,DASS ICH DICH GELIEBT HABE.KJV + EL = BEHOLD, I WILL MAKETHEM OF THE SYNAGOGUE OFSATAN, WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS,
