LESSON 5: WHAT IS THE PERGAMOS CONNECTION TO PAGANISM?
PERGAMUM: PART TWO
MEET THE AUTHOR Revelation 2:12B
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Jesus introduces Himself as the Word of God. He says, in Revelation 2:12
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword. Jesus is the Word of God. Why should we listen to Him?
Because He is:
* The one that created all things, Gen 1:1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
* The one who sustains the universe, Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities,
or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him,
I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
* The one who accomplished our eternal redemption, Matthew Chapter 27
* The one who stilled the raging sea, Matthew Chapter 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
* The one who calmed the fearful hearts, John Chapter 6:19-21 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing
nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
* The one who quelled the terror of disease, Mark 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered,
but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said,
Who touched my clothes?
* The one who halted the grip of death, Luke 7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was
a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
* He who controlled the elements commands demons
* He declares He is the one who determines destiny of all!
Jesus Christ who has a two-edged sword. What are the edges of His sword?
1. Saving Power if you listen to Him today as SAVIOR or
2. Destroying Wrath if you face Him tomorrow as JUDGE!
He that is life and judgment gives God’s word.
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
