    Rev.2.1 "Walking in the middle" (2 of 2)

    ""These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks."

    We shall consider each angel representing the church and when the Spirit at the end of messages, " He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."(2.7) The Covenant assures the quality of faith so as the tree of righteousness the seed of the fruit is in itsel, meaning that it is ripened by the sun of righteousness. So heavenly blessing produces fruit. Can fig tree produce thistles? "the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Jesus as the true Vine said, "He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."( Jn 15.5)

    We have the Lamb associated with seven eyes, "which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." (Rev.5.6)

    On the other hand in Ezek.37 the valley of Dry Bones is set in an open valley, signifying they were left to their own devices.

    "And ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."(2.10) Ten days are set by the Word so what is prompting Jews which are not Jews? The list of martyrs from Abel onwards is the work of the devil."the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." The church of Smyrna was in the best company where Christ headed the list." That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar./ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."(Mt.23.35-36) This generation belonged to Jesus Christ.
