All Things Spiritual-Revelation Chapter 3 Part 3

Revelation 3:14 describes the Amen, the faithful and true witness, as the beginning of creation. He warns against lukewarmness and chastisement, urging believers to buy gold, white clothing, and anoint their eyes with eyesalve. He also rebukes and chastens those who love him, urging repentance and zeal. The inscription is addressed to the angel of the church of Laodicea, a once-famous city near the river Lycus. The apostle Paul played a significant role in planting the gospel in this city, which was demolished in the fourth century. Jesus is described as the Amen, the faithful and true witness, and the beginning of creation. He is the first cause, Creator, and Governor of the first creation, and the head of the second creation, the church. The inscription highlights the importance of a faithful and true witness against lukewarm professors and the importance of recognizing the truth in the church.
