In these hours of Apostasy and Confusion in the Church: Which is the TRUE Church of Jesus?
2) Revelation 2:8-11; To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: This is what the First and the Last, who was dead and came to life, says. I know your tribulation and your poverty—though you are rich—and the slander of those who call themselves Jews but are not, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer: the Devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will face tribulation for ten days. Remain faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: the one who conquers will not be harmed by the second death.
