Revelation 2d Commentary
Revelation 2d Commentary What exactly is Balaam’s teaching that the church at Pergamum must watch out for? The LORD Jesus gives us a hint but the details from the Book Numbers reveal more.

People around believed Balaam hadContinueContinue reading “Revelation 2d Commentary”
Revelation 2c Commentary
Revelation 2c Commentary Pergamum had the misfortune of hosting satan’s throne. This could be a reference to a very high level of wickedness as a consequence of satanic activities.

Jesus has a name for today’s so-calledContinueContinue reading “Revelation 2c Commentary”

3 John Commentary
3 John Commentary Diotrephes doesn’t have the tag of the Anti-Christ but he is clearly behaving badly. Could he fall in the category of “sin which doesn’t lead to death”? Gaius would be the opposite of Diotrephes. He welcomes the believers and helps them. There is a good testimony about him. This makes the greatContinueContinue reading “3 John Commentary”

The churchContinueContinue reading “2 John Commentary”
