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. But it also means the city (modern-day Bergama, Turkey) hosted several idol temples. They collectively form the throne of Satan. Jesus has a name for today’s so-calledContinueContinue reading “Revelation 2c Commentary”

Revelation 2 Commentary
Revelation 2 Commentary God has information for His servants. He gives it to His Son Jesus. Jesus gives it to His angel. Then the angel gives it to John.

Revelation 1 Commentary
Revelation 1 Commentary The Book of Revelation is a letter containing Jesus Christ’s revelation to God’s servants. This revelation contains seven letters to seven named churches in modern-day Turkey: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The number seven is symbolic.

Jude 1 Commentary
Jude Commentary Jude should be a blood brother of the man Jesus, together with James! Those who believe that Jesus was 100% human can ask Jude about it! But Jude is a slave of Jesus Christ. Verse 1. To Jude, Jesus is no longer a big brother he shared meals and sleeping space with; HeContinueContinue reading “Jude 1 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”
1 John 5 Commentary

Everyone born of God overcomesContinueContinue reading “1 John 5 Commentary”

1 John 2 Commentary
1 John 2 Commentary Saints shouldn’t sin, for starters. But if they sin, they have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ. Sin isn’t cheap. There is a legal process behind each repentance. The saint who sins is guilty; no question about this fact. Forgiveness is only possible because of the legal representations madeContinueContinue reading “1 John 2 Commentary”
1 John 1 Commentary
1 John 1 Commentary The “beginning” of verse 1 is probably a reference to Genesis. Of course, the Book of Genesis referenced the Creator God who already existed. Therefore, the beginning could be the beginning of the life we know and not the beginning of God. It is this God who decided to interact withContinueContinue reading “1 John 1 Commentary”
