Revelation 3: 7 -13 LETTER TO PHILADELPHIA: THE BIBLE CHURCH

The Church at Philadelphia �Represents Church history from 19 th Century-The Rapture �The City was founded by Attalus in 189 B. C. �The name means, “One who loves his brother”

Jesus Introduces Himself �He is Holy �He is True �He holds the “Key of David” �What He opens stays open; what He shuts stays shut

The Open Door �Jesus has opened the Door to the Kingdom of Heaven �We have an “Open Door” to share the Gospel �Let’s walk through the door in spite of our “little strength”

The Enemies of the Church �The Jews who refused Jesus as the Messiah �They were embracing a false religion �They were persecuting the Christian Church �They were from “Satan’s Synagogue”

Facts about the Rapture �The “Dead in Christ” will rise first �We will rise and be “transformed” �The Rapture is NOT the 2 nd Coming of Christ

When will the “Rapture” happen? �“Post-Trib” = Rapture after the Great Tribulation �“Mid-Trib” = Rapture in the middle of the Great Tribulation �“Pre-Trib” = Rapture before the Great Tribulation

Rewards for the Faithful �We will be “Pillars” in the Temple of God �We are “Sealed” by the Holy Spirit �We will bear the “Name of Jesus”
