THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN Origen explains that these "angels" are the guardian angels of the churches’ But Epiphanius explicitly rejects this view, and, in accordance with the imagery of the passage, explains it of the bishops. <strong>Revelation</strong> 1:20 states that "The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches." The comparison of a teacher to a star is scriptural (Daniel 12:3). St. Augustine's reason for interpreting angels of the Churches as the prelates of the church is that St. John speaks of them as falling from their first charity which is not true of the angels [Epistle 43, n. 22] Period described AD Opening Description of Christ What Christ knows Commendation Rebuke Counsel Ephesus 2:1-7 The early church, 33 -100 Holds 7 stars, walks among 7 lampstands Works, labor patience Tested false prophets, perseverance Left first love Remember, repent, do Some collected analysis from other scholars are given below: Smyrna Pergamum Thyatira Sardis 2:8-11 2:12-17 2:18-29 3:1-6 The church under persecution, 100 - 313 First and Last, Died and came to life Works, trials, poverty; blasphemy of false Jews Rich in spite of poverty Do not fear suffering Paganism enters the church, to 313 - 500s Papal supremacy of Dark Ages, 500s to mid 1500s Protestant reformation 1500s- 1700s To the angel of the church . . . write The One with twoedged sword Works, living where Satan's throne is Held to My name & faith even in time of martyr Ones with doctrine of Balaam Repent Eyes of fire, feet like brass; searches minds More works, love, service, faith, patience (above) Jezebel with immorality permitted Hold fast till I come Holds 7 spirits and 7 stars Philadelphia 3:7-13 Awakening, Bibles printed and studied, to 1700s-mid 1800s Holy, true, holds keys, opens and shuts Laodicea 3:14-22 The endtime church Amen, true witness, Beginning of creation Works Works Works: neither cold nor hot Have a few names undefiled Works imperfect Watch, strengthen Kept command to persevere Hold fast, preserve Lukewarm, wretched, blind, naked Buy gold, clothes, 89
