Philadelphia 5: "I KNOW YOUR WORKS" (Rev 3:8). What Are The Works Christ Expects From His Churches, According To His Standards? How Do The Works of The Churches Compare?

The other 6 Churches of the Book of Revelation have either lost the NISTAR (Inner) Work. or they have polluted it with the impure and corrupted doctrines and traditions of Men. This lack or pollution of the NISTAR Work greatly affects the quality and direction of their NIGLEH (Outer) Work. As a result, Jesus Christ is dissatisfied with their works.

MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL

The BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE

Of all the 7 Churches of the Book of Revelation, only the PHILADELPHIA CHURCH is the one that Jesus Christ did not elaborate further the Church's WORKS. 

WHY?

This is because only the Philadelphia Church has the pure and complete NISTAR (Inner) Work and the NIGLEH (Outer) Works.

The other 6 Churches of the Book of Revelation have either lost the NISTAR (Inner) Work. or they have polluted it with the impure and corrupted doctrines and traditions of Men. This lack or pollution of the NISTAR Work greatly affects the quality and direction of their NIGLEH (Outer) Work. As a result, Jesus Christ is dissatisfied with their works. 

From John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:
Rev 3:8  I know thy works,.... Good works, of faith, love, and patience; and which lay much in preaching, professing, and maintaining the pure Gospel (Messianic Kabbalah), and in acts of charity to one another; and which were done to some degree of perfection, and with great sincerity; since this church is not complained of... as the former church is: -- GILL

For an in-depth explanation of the complete and pure works that the Churches should perform, please go to: The TWO-FOLD MISSION OF THE GENUINE BRIDE OF CHRIST: 1) NISTAR (The INNER WORK of Self-Purification & Sanctification). 2) NIGLEH (The OUTER WORK of Spreading the TRUE GOSPEL of the Kingdom of God, which is the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom.

MESSIANIC KABBALAH = THE SECRETS OF WISDOM 

• He would show you THE SECRETS OF WISDOM, for TRUE WISDOM HAS TWO SIDES. Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your sins. (Job 11:6 HCSB)

The secrets of wisdom, and the TRUE WISDOM is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom.  For a Church to have this Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, she is given that power to have that NISTAR (Inner) Work and the NIGLEH (Outer) Work that will transform her to be the genuine BRIDE OF CHRIST. 

Without this Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, a Church will have no such power to have the NISTAR Work, which is the most important work. She will just have an outward show of religion, but has no power to really transform herself according to the stature and expectations of Jesus Christ and God the Father (2Ti 3:5).

• Holding to the form of religion but denying its power.  (2Ti 3:5 HCSB)

HOW THE  WORKS OF THE CHURCHES COMPARE

The following are the works of the 7 Churches:

1. EPHESUS CHURCH

• I know your works and your labor and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil. And you tried those pretending to be apostles, and are not, and have found them liars.  (Rev 2:2 MKJV)

• And you have borne, and have patience, and for My name's sake you have labored and have not fainted.  (Rev 2:3 MKJV)

• But I have against you that YOU LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE.  (Rev 2:4 MKJV)

2. SMYRNA CHURCH

• I know your works and TRIBULATION AND POVERTY (but you are rich)...  (Rev 2:9 MKJV)

• Do not at all fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil will cast some of you into prison, so that YOU MAY BE TRIED. And you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.  (Rev 2:10 MKJV)

3. PERGAMOS CHURCH

• I know your works, and where you live, even where Satan's seat is . And YOU HOLD FAST MY NAME AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY FAITH...  (Rev 2:13 MKJV)

• But I have a few things against you, because YOU HAVE THERE THOSE WHO HOLD THE TEACHINGS OF BALAAM, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication.  (Rev 2:14 MKJV)

4. THYATIRA CHURCH

• I know your works and love and service and faith and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.  (Rev 2:19 MKJV)

• But I have a few things against you because YOU ALLOW THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL TO TEACH, she saying herself to be a prophetess, and to cause My servants to go astray, and to commit fornication, and to eat idol-sacrifices.  (Rev 2:20 MKJV)

5. SARDIS CHURCH

• I know your works, that YOU HAVE A NAME THAT YOU LIVE, AND ARE DEAD.  (Rev 3:1 MKJV)

6. PHILADELPHIA CHURCH

• I KNOW YOUR WORKS.

• For you... HAVE KEPT MY WORD and HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME.  (Rev 3:8 MKJV)

7. LAODICEAN CHURCH

• I know your works, that YOU ARE NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. So because you are lukewarm... I will vomit you out of My mouth.  (Rev 3:15-16 MKJV)

• Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that YOU ARE WRETCHED AND MISERABLE AND POOR AND BLIND AND NAKED,  (Rev 3:17 MKJV)

• As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent.  (Rev 3:19 MKJV)
