Revelation,
Lesson Thirteen
Day 6 of Week Two Scripture for today 3.7- 13
7 And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write; These things saith
he that is holy, he that is true, he that
hath the key of David, he that openeth,
and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and
no man openeth; 8 I know thy works:
behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou
hast a little strength, and hast kept my
word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, which say they are
Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I
will make them to come and worship
before thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of
my patience, I also will keep thee from
the hour of temptation, which shall
come upon all the world, to try them
that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I
make a pillar in the temple of my God,
and he shall go no more out: and I will
write upon him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and
I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches
