Cipher 67. First Letter to Ephesus Signed 77 (Rev 2:1-7)
1. WHO? (2:1-2) To the angel of the church in Ephesus saith he that holds the seven stars in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. (77)
2. WHY write? (2:2-3) I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men.
3. HOW to repent? (2:4) But I have this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
4. WHAT to do? (2:5) Remember therefore where thou art fallen and repent and do the first works.
5. WHEN? (2:5) Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except repent.
6. WHERE is good? (2:6) But this thou hast, that thou hates the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7. WHICH way? (2:7) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life.
Commentary: Jesus’ Witness Cipher always uses seven ordered questions answered by seven Spirits of God that generate a picture of the cross. In all seven of each church letter the same Scripture in Rev 2:7 is repeated exactly seven times for the He that has an ear cross. Also, in all seven letters a second cross begins with Him or He that overcometh on the foot of a cross. Throughout the Bible, Scripture teaches us that one must both see and hear in order to both perceive and understand. (Is 6: 9-10) Consider then these seven letters teach us SEE these repeating crosses in order to both perceive and understand Jesus’ seven letters. Gen 3:22 is included above because it shows what Jesus means with four steps through the cross: 1—2—3—4th step result, live forever, just like he taught us to SEE him on the cross: day 1—day 2—day 3 in the grave before 4th step result, he arose to live forever.
