THE KINGDOM PARABLES<br />
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will<br />
take your crown.<br />
12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.<br />
Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and<br />
the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming<br />
down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new<br />
name.<br />
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."<br />
One characteristic of this church is its evangelical zeal. Jesus himself<br />
opens the door and so no one can shut it. The door that Jesus opens is<br />
the hearts of men. This is evidently the work of the Holy spirit. Jesus<br />
himself will open up new world for missions. In this sixth era there will<br />
be an abundance of fruits. Lev. 25:21 says that the last harvest will be<br />
three times compared to the previous eras.<br />
Then we notice that this church is not a powerful church. Its members<br />
are not rich, influential or famous. Their only distinction is that they<br />
keep the Word of God, with patience and endurance.<br />
Here is the Church of this period -<br />
Filled with love - love among themselves<br />
- loved by the Lord<br />
- they loved the Word<br />
This is the picture of the Church at the rapture time. Rev 3:11 I am<br />
coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your<br />
crown.<br />
