Bible Matrix ⑦: Historical & Scientific Views on Daniel and Revelation
Part 2. Revelation
Revelation 2:8~11 - To the Church in Smyrna, Tribulation/Persecution/Martyrdom, Receiving Only Praise from Jesus
Revelation 2:8~11 – The future church in Smyrna until the Second Coming of Jesus in c.AD 10,740~
○ It conveys the message that, until Jesus is coming again in c.AD 10,740~, like the Church and its Christians in Smyrna, many churches and Christians in the distant future will suffer tribulation and persecution, thus, they will live in poverty, but for God the Father and Jesus Christ, they would be faithful even to the point of death as martyrdom.
○ As I already mentioned in <Bible Matrix ⑥_49>~<Bible Matrix ⑥_54>, in Aquarius (2,100~4,259) and Capricorn (4,260~6,419), future humans will develop tremendous science & technology and reach the domain of God. Future people will act as if they are God, and as a result, they will deny God the Father and Jesus Christ, and those who hold to the truth of Christ and keep His word will suffer great persecution to death as martyrdom. As you know history repeats itself!
○ So, Jesus says, "Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer", "Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life", and "He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death". Judging from these words of Jesus, fortunately, the long distant future is bright, not dark.
○ I will introduce it again later, but we can see that there will be many Christians like in the church of Smyrna even in the long distant future, as written in the chapter 13 of <Revelation>, which will be ‘The Last Great Tribulation’ as ‘The Last One Seven as One Week’ (c.AD 10,733~10,740). This Last Great Tribulation is the last persecution by the antichrists before Jesus is coming again in c.AD 10,740~. In this last one seven, many Christians or saints will not worship the beast and his image, and will not receive the 666 mark on the forehead or on the hand (Revelation 14:9), so, they will be killed (Revelation 13:15) as martyred by the antichrists. That is the same meaning of “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on” in <Revelation> 14:13, and which is also the same meaning of “Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of 1,335 days” in <Daniel> 12:12, which I already explained in detail in <Bible Matrix ⑦_94>.
