Revelation 2

In Revelation 2, Ephesus is the first
of four judgments. There will be 7
judgments, but, the last three are
separate. It begins in Ephesus for
a reason.

The Holy Spirit, in Jesus, is worthy
to be the High Priest, and as the
son, He is worthy to judge.

There are four churches in the first
of the judgments, given in Chapter 2.

Jesus begins Judgement, in Ephesus.
I mused last week, that Jesus's mother,
Mary, (Miryam,) usurped the goddess
Diana, in Ephesus, literally. That is
where she went, with John the Devine,
who she was bound to, by Jesus, when
he spoke to them on the cross.

When John bonded his mother, Miryam,
to his young disciple John, he asked John,
to be a son to Mary, and to take her along
with him, wherever he goes. We can then
appreciate why there's Mary's traces on
Western civilization, more than Judaism
and Israel.

The orations of Paul, were powerful. In the
Book of the Acts of the Apostles, demonstrated
how they siezed the great pagan shrines, in
Asia Minor, and announced that the gods the
people were seeking, were a shadow to come,
of the God of Moses, Abraham, and their
descendants. Christianity was born,
in Ephesus, with Christ's disciples and
the Apostles in Turkey.

His most notable disciples were the
3 Marys, the 12 apostles, and disciples
like John. They began to preach in the
very powerful kingdoms of the former
Greek and Roman Empires, by design.

They changed the world, starting in
Ephesus. It's powerful.

Now he comes back, and what is left in Ephesus?
Even Diana, Zeus, and their imperial gods and
goddesses, are vanquished. Mary is accursed.
A hungry vengeaful god, with blood on his
teeth replaces the original supplanters. What
is happening here to alarm and frighten the
most intrepid saint?

Today, in this region, they behead Christians
for their faith, it's all but illegal, punishable
by death. Does modern Ephesus stand a
chance to be saved?

I think it does. The church was established
there. It was no accident that Mary and
the Apostles usurped the pagan god
dynasties. There is constantly this
irony in the Bible, especially in
Genesis.

his region, where Christianity sparked,
in the kingdoms of the nations.

This is the first stop for Jesus's tour
of the original churches.
