Revel. 1:4 "Comentary"

Revel. 1:4 "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;"

INTRODUCTION: Here is who was the book of Revelation led to the seven churches and is part of the Divine Trinity as we shall see. -! How great is that! God makes us get this message also, his last before his coming, this is also a message for us if we are part of the Church of Jesus. ! How beautiful messages that encourage us to live so strong in the darkness of this time, he wants at this time also contact us and tell us is coming soon, to continue faithful unto death, trust in the Father in the Son and the Holy Spirit burning strong and ready to take control of everything in this world, everything we're seeing is revealed to him in little will be brief in their control. So we have wonderful messages so encouraging for all the times to come, they really are bad. Only live in Christ, is the beauty for us believers. -

I) Number SEVEN: As some argue, "Among all ancient peoples, especially in the East, religious significance is attached to the numbers" ... Six days God created everything and rested the seventh day, it was all Fact, This is a great indication that as the number seven would consider it to mean "to complete".

There are many seven in the Bible: The seventh day the child was circumcised newborn, "Lev 4:6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle the blood seven times before the Lord, the veil of the sanctuary."

 Lev 4:17 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord the veil.

Lev 8:33 From the door of the tabernacle of the testimony shall not leave in seven days, until the day they are fulfilled the days of your consecration: for seven days you shall be consecrated.

1Sa 2:5 Those who were full rent for bread, and no longer have those who were hungry hunger. Even the barren gives birth to seven, but which has many children languishes.

(Then I will not give IBTS only mention because the list is long for a message like this ..) .... Seven days surrounded Israel to Jericho, to conquer.

Seven times Nahaman dived into the water to heal. -

Then the number seven is much in the feasts of Israel, at the Passover Feast of Weeks, of Tabernacles, the Sabbath year and Jubilee. Seven lean and seven fat,

In the New Testament has seven beatitudes, seven spirits before the throne, seven churches, seven golden candlesticks, seven stars in the right hand of Him who is like the Son of man, seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb Rev 5:6 I looked, and saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.;

Seven seals of the book and the seven thunders, seven angels with trumpets ... So many seven in the Bible,

In conclusion we will say together that many Biblical scholars often sticks so well in the Bible the number seven represents "completeness," "the total". The seventh day God had finished all creation and left him to rest, the seventh day Israel also had to rest from all His work was the end of Day. - Many had to do something and was seven times full, sprinkle the blood seven times, dip seven times, seven times around the city, I think unless this would not be complete. Seven Spirit can represent the whole fullness of the Spirit of God. - The same as in seven days, God had already completed all the whole creation, and even had time to rest. The seventh day was over Israel and all its Full-time, the entire week. And on the seventh day is consecrated to God and rest. -

The church was gathered, not the end of the seventh full day, but to begin the first day, teach Brothers they do because Christ rose on that day and is perfect may already be a major cause of assembling the first day but also all week is devoted to Christ, if we think of Christ and what He did, every day we congregaríamos.

It also sticks well away on the first day of the week, not least because it could be, among so many things to ask God to bless us all week to come, or to devote full-time whole in the hand of God, or also devote our lives to God and at the beginning. - For the Jews gathered on the seventh day, us first. Them on Saturday, join us on Sunday, and I like it on Sunday is the beginning of the week, and there we devote the rest of the week. The Jew and congregated at the end of the week.

 II) "All the Churches"

Then follow our theme: We will take that when John writes to seven Churches is writing to all the Churches, all full of all ages, is an interpretation that I personally fall as well and that is something I see as Biblical For Of course we understand that our human understanding is small and that one day God will explain everything in detail and with a depth unimaginable .. ! That is wonderful! But in the meantime that day comes that good if you learn as much as we can in our power always looking to be guided by his Holy Spirit, LEARN AS MUCH. -

"John to the seven churches": Some think that the area had more than seven churches, Laodicea and Hierapolis and others, Colossians 2:01, Colossians 4:13 and Colossians 4:15-16 But some brothers say that probably in the time of writing this text if there were seven, among other things by some great earthquake in the time mentioned by the historian Eusebius, where he says that an earthquake destroyed some cities like Laodicea and Hierapolis and Colossae influenced. - But we believe it is seven churches chosen by the message that brings the number seven in Revelation and the Bible. - the message was sent to the churches in general, and perhaps refers to the whole Christian world. However, the number seven can be used here as the number of "completeness"

III) (following our verse. That developed apoc. 1:4) Grace and Peace:

This Grace and peace come from God the Father (who is, was and is to come) by the Holy Spirit (The Seven Spirits) and of the Son of God Perfect Witness (Rev. 1:5). -

Romans 1:7 to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We speak of grace ("Charis" Greek.) We had in Christ for their salvation, not only grace but peace ("Eirene" Greek.) -

This message is part of the Trinity to us, the Church of all time. If you do not congregate not think you are part of the Church, if you do not congregate on Sundays with the saints and if possible more days a week, so if you do not congregate never think you are part of the Church, and if are not part of the Church's message to Trinity Church, Revelation is not for you. That if you should worry. But if you are part of the Church of Christ on earth the message of Peace and Grace is for you. -! THAT WONDERFUL! God says to you and me, "Grace and Peace" When so many in the world to condemn the righteous sometimes in the church itself, God does not tell us the contrary the "Grace and Peace" Are we living in this peace that we gives the grace of God?

IV) (continue with our verse 1:4) "who is and who was and who is to come" is attributed to God the Father, who is saying in Revelation. 1:4 which is Eternal. We will see that in addition it is also said of His Son Jesus. - This shows us that God is eternally existent in the past present and future. - God the Father eternal, that besides the Bible also says he is immortal , immutable (never change): James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning

Totally immutable, God alone has this attribute, we begin to exist on earth and before that we were only safe in the plans of salvation for those who are saved. -.

According to some commentators, Exodus Three say God was being introduced to Moses and to Israel after the name Jehovah is a name that denotes eternity, since in the third chapter of Exodus God speaks to Moses from the past present and future , and sticks very well with the Lord God was, is and always will be. - Our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal and immutable Divine attribute. - Re. 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega - says the Lord God - who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.

V) WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS BEFORE THE THRONE: (continue with Revelation. 1:4)

 It's a mystery we are trying to understand, some are seven angels speak, but here speaking of spirits, that Revelation is not named in Los Angeles. If we follow the meaning of number seven say it is full and rich, full-powerful Holy Spirit. - Our finite mind can grasp not what this means. Thus we see, and in this study hold this line is to decipher the meaning of number seven. - We know that these seven Spirits are very powerful something complete, perfect in every way, but as we said this book is very deep, if not we understand all of his sayings, one day God will explain everything clearly. -

Apoc. 4:5  And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

I personally come to my mind (not inspired by what I think, if what is written) that the seven lamps burning represent unimaginable power of infinite power that is only waiting for the right to intervene in the world, Who can stop him?
