their disregard of christ in the form of sexual immorality and pagan beliefs of wordly things like money possesions houses as being more important a lack of brotherly love for one another when we repent and follow gods instructions for our lives

because they are not listenin to what god is saying to us it is eaiser to sit on the fence by reading gods word taking prayerful guidence of what he is saying to us and by taking Jesus as our example in all things

it allows us to be mislead by false truths the heathen practices are made to look far more attractive than our own beliefs . as christians we wouldfollow and worship the things they did sexuality drugs alchol divorce sex outside marriage seductive teachins of a jezebelic spirit and idol worship

because we are not remaining true and faithful we are not pure in heart and of clean mind and so we are not seen as being differant to the rest of the world through peer preasure through being alone you will hear people saying that christians have no fun i know that at our church we do

by following those who teach wrong teaching and allow wrong doings to come into the church by allowing him to walk amongest us and showing love and patience to others like Jesusdid by becomming less tolerant of one another repenting having an ear to hear what the spirit is saying to us so that we can overcomeall things and become more like christ

the lampstands are the churches and the significance of Jesus walking amongest them is showing us that he is here with us now today that he understands how hard it is for us he is there to guide and to lead and to rest in and to get encouragement from

because he came first to show the way and forgive us for our sins then he died and rose again so becomming as pure as snow and showing us how he wants us to be like this the brightness that wasupon him we could not look at as was to bright for us and so we had to fall down on our faces as we couldnot look at him the brightness was so blinding to get us to understand the greatness of his love and sacrifice that he made for us and also gives us knowledge of eternal life with our father as Jesus has the keys of hell and death-hades so that we can understand in fullness what we need to do for him

China Korea and many of the islamic countries it tells them of how god will deal with those who persecute his people but also promises of life with him eternally after the great tribulation

that the father is the beginning and the end the alpha and the omega it shows us that the father was and is and is to come the significance of this for our understanding of jesus is that he was sent to and was obiedent to and respected the father and was the first born and the last born of the father he was also the first to be raised and asscend to the father

How great is our god My reedeemer lives the lamb that was slain now is the time to worship

It is a way for us to confirm our personal knowledge or belief, to bear witness and be a witness of the way god has revealled things to us or given us warnings of things to come connected to our own lives. In revelation1:5 we are told that Jesus loved us and washed us from our sins with his own precious blood at the cross. Because he was the first one raised from the dead and is the prince of the kings of the earth he was the only one who could do this. Jesus had to do this for us in order to be a faithful witness for his father and to fulfil the scriptures of old. Jesus will allways be faithful to us as he knows what it is like to have so many wrong doings and accusations made against him. We are so afraid of being clear witnesses for Christ because we have not had the need tofall heavilly and rely entirely on him for our every need. We have such a good lifestyle we cannot comprehend the need to rely soley on him
