The Seven Churches (5): "Thyatira," or, Seeing the Roman Catholic Church for What It Truly Is
As the followers of Christ, it is important for us to not only love what the Lord loves, but also to hate what the Lord hates; otherwise, it indicates that our love for the Lord may not be so genuine, or at least, not so enduring.So, in this episode of the podcast we consider the Lord’s word to the church in Thyatira in Revelation 2:18-29. To this church the Lord says that He has “the eyes like a flame of fire,” because in His word here He burns away all its false, outward appearance to expose this church for what it truly is.In brief, Thyatira prefigures the Roman Catholic church; the Lord’s word here corresponds to His Parable of the Tares in Matthew 13:33, and also to the vision of the Great Harlot of Revelation 17.All of these passages make it very clear that the Lord considers the Roman Catholic church to abomination. Far from being the one true church, as it so strongly claims for itself, it is the continuation of the pagan system of worship found in ancient Rome, which in turn was a continuation of so much of the paganism of the ancient Middle East.While this is a very negative topic, if we see the real nature of the Roman church, it will be a great protection to us, to keep us from being deceived by that evil religious system as we seek to follow Christ today. We will also appreciate much more fully the Lord’s desire to have the one true church, which is composed of all the genuine believers in Christ, as His spotless bride.

From The Podcast
The Christian Faith Podcast
The Christian Faith Radio Hour exists, along with TheChristianFaith.org website, to help address the need for a healthy word of ministry among God’s children today.In the past several centuries the Lord has used saints such as Martin Luther, Madame Guyon, J.N. Darby, G.H. Pember, Robert Govett, Andrew Murry, Mary McDonough, T.A. Sparks, Watchman Nee, and Witness Lee to open up so much Biblical truth to His children. Through them, and others as well, matters such as justification, the Old Testament types, the Body of Christ and the local churches, the reward and discipline of the believers in the coming age, and God’s full salvation through the operation of the divine life within the believers, have become more clear now than ever before.And yet, it seems that so few Christians today have more than a basic grasp of the truths contained in Scripture; As the Lord tells us, through the prophet Hosea:“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”— Hosea 4:6Our hope and prayer for The Christian Faith Radio Hour, as for our website, is that the Lord may use it to bring His children into a more thorough grasp of His truth, and ultimately, into a greater knowledge and experience of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for His glory and His kingdom.Join Podchaser to...
