We are in Revelation 2:8-11 and the focus is on the letter to the second church in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Revelation is the revealing of Jesus and God’s plan for everything! Jesus shares 3 things He knows what the believers are in the midst of life in Smyrna: 1) Affliction, 2) Poverty, 3) Slander Don't fear what is to come. Be faithful. The second death will not harm the followers of Christ. The life worth dying for and the life worth living for! Be Faithful to the Point of Death. Application: Pray for the persecuted church. Check out Fox's Book of Martyrs. Visit persecution.com and pray for those who are suffering.
