Revelation 2: 8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” You don't know Me, but I know you. I created you. You are My beloved child. I saw you in the beginning. I Am the first. I do not condemn you. Everything you have done, has been forgiven; forgotten. Washed away by the precious blood of the lamb. You need not be afraid. Look, I Am alive and so are you. Because you have trusted in Me, because you have believed on Me, you are in My fold, with all of My other sheep. I love you. I have always loved you. I called you many times, but you did not notice. That's okay. You are in My arms now and that is all that matters. My dear child, you do not know how much I love you. Trials will come. Do not loose hope. I have overcome the world and defeated hell, death and the grave; and set you free. Do not be surprised by affliction or persecution. No servant is greater than His master. But understand, that the evil in the world will bring tribulations for all of My children. Hold onto Me. Cling to Me. I will not leave you. Gaze upon My face and know that I Am holding your hand. I have promised you life. I have conquered death. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only son, that whosoever believes in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life. Take comfort in My Words. To live is Christ, to die is gain. Remember what I told you. No eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no heart has conceived, the glorious things that God has prepared for those who love Him. I Am with you until the very end. I Am the end. The beginning and the end has spoken. Hold My Words in your heart. I Am coming quickly.
