A word I heard a lot last week is the word “totality”. Here is one definition:
Totality (Astronomy) the state or period of an eclipse when light from the eclipsed body is totally obscured
The coverage of the sun during a solar eclipse
The period during which an eclipse is total

In the first part of this two part series, we established that the assemblies of Revelation 2 and 3 are fundamentally different from the churches to whom Paul wrote.
Now that we know who these assemblies are NOT (Pauline churches), it’s time to find out...
I have had three hospital stays this month. And at one stretch, I had 4 roommates in a row.
I did not want to have roommates. I wanted a private room.
I came up with sound reasons as to why they simply had to give me a private room. Why, my heart rate has remained stubbornly high, and it must be because I had roommates!
I even calculated the odds...

This week we start out by noticing one similarity between the assemblies of Revelation and the churches in Paul’s...

We are in Romans 8, where we are working to answer, with...

If you recall, in the first blog of this series, we came away with the distinct impression that something very different is going on in Revelation 2 & 3 than what is going in in Paul’s epistles.
Now we are checking things out systematically, taking up one...
Why all the fuss?
In our last blog, we started to compare and contrast the letters of Paul with the letters to the seven assemblies in Revelation 2 and 3.
Why? Because there is much confusion about how to interpret Revelation 2 and 3.
And because the English word “church” is found in chapters 1-3, most interpreters simply assume the...
