Church In Pergamum

Revelation 2:12 (ESV)

To the Church in Pergamum

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Revelation 2:16-17 (ESV)

16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

The words of His mouth come to us by the Holy Spirit who is the sword of truth, who divides the soul from the spirit. The soul is the natural man who inhabits a body of death. The spirit awakened by His Spirit will inhabit a body of life, and that everlasting. 

 The hidden manna is the bread of life. The white stone is one clothed in the righteousness of Jesus who becomes a stone of the living temple of God. The new name we receive will be our new life as the perfected sons of God. Only those who know the Lord as the sons of God will know the Lord as part of His family, flesh of His flesh and bone of His bones.
