Sardis does sound a lot like American society today, and certainly pricks me in the spirit. I have denied Christ in my actions. I must repent, humble myself, and seek his face, and turn from my evil ways. Forgive me Lord.

Amen, me too.
Same to me
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. I choose him.
Amen me too..🙏
Cairo, Jan, do you really think you had a choice? Yes there are many gods, but only one God. No other belief has the profit of salvation through belief alone. And that is only applicable if you believe in Jesus Christ in your heart and confess Him through your words. No other time in history as we know it, before Christ, has offered this. We are living in the time of salvation, where when we hear the Good Shepherd calling, we simply obey. Bc only the sheep know the shepherd's voice, which means that there was already a relationship between the two. We are called, not recruited
Very true
Amen
AMEN! There is No Other!
We are warned not to compromise, not to live by the world's standards, to watch, fully aware of what is going on, what Satan is doing. Thanks for this Series.
We’re so glad you enjoyed this series. Have you seen “The Holy Land”? Check it out here: czcams.com/play/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB.html
Awesome and the truth!
i have no words to say but i can do one thing, God Bless you and your entire family with those who are behind the this video in Jesus Name Amen.
Amen...
Amen 🙏🙏
Blessings to you for a clear message. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
If they don't repent He will blot out their name from the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire and Brimstone forever and ever. This guy is wrong at the end of the video.
He who has an ear to listen has to listen what the Spirit says. Amen.
Now I finally may understand what it means to “keep your garments clean “ because of this video. Thank You
We're glad it was helpful!
I’ve watched the whole series and have learned so much. I never fully appreciated those letters of Jesus before. Many thanks.
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed this series, Kathleen! 💓
Me Too. I Really enjoy how this series brings the Book of Revelation to life. How deep the everyday way of life back then is brought to the front.
I mirror this comment, I loved this series!
I'm going to stand up right now Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior and he's the only way to Salvation to be with God when God comes back and believe me God's coming back people he's coming back and this time it's with a reckoning
Praise our Savior Jesus!
Everything Our Daily Bread does is just beautiful and meaningful

Not true. If they don't repent He will blot out their name from the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire and Brimstone forever and ever. This guy is wrong at the end of the video.
Always like studying the Book of Revelation. Good study.
Thank you for the compliment, Judy!! 🙂
@@ourdailybread
Amen thank you for reminding us of our responsibility and the blessed hope.
John 14:6
A very strong message to the believers of today. Satan's lies are always attractive. This letter from our Messiah Yahushua speaks directly to the COEXIST movement backed by all world religions and most all 'Cristian' churches...
I always knew the inter faith movement was wrong but I really didn’t understand how evil it truly is and why. Now i fully get it. Thank you
It's really and very wrong
Thank you Lord Jesus for these teachings ✝️🙏❤️
I am puertorrican and you teaching about revelations help me alot. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Jesus is NOW and Always has been the Way. Thank You Lord Yeshua 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
We absolutely agree!! We’re so glad you enjoyed this series. Have you seen “The Holy Land”? Check it out here: czcams.com/play/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB.html
Very nicely explained THANK YOU KING LORD JESUS CHRIST
Amen Yeshua Hamasiach
Oh thank you for educating us to know our Lord more closely.
I find the podcast incredibly informative, it really brings the bible teachings alive, love it,
God bless
All hail the power of Jesus name; let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all. Praise God!
Beautiful hymn!
This is the way. The church may deny me ,people may deny me ;but my Lord and Savior will never deny me. Love ya's.
I thank you my brother in Christ Jesus, for your teaching. God bless you.
Thank you and God bless, from Sri Lanka.
Thank you for this presentation! You cannot place a greater importance (or wakeup call) of when Joe mentions how we are in the "Get Along Age". I feel, as Christians, we are about to be put to the test, particularly here in the United States, of persecution for following the Christ. Brothers and Sisters in Christ need more than ever to head HIS word and band together to further HIS Kingdom.
Amen
I fear the UK is worse than the US. 'Political correctness' has killed off distinctive Christian witness in great measure.
Excellent presentation, analysis, message. Thank you.
JESUS is the First and the Last, holding the keys of life, death, hell and the breath of every living thing. He is the only Righteous Judge of all to Whom each and every one will give an account.
This search my belief to build my faith to the Lord Jesus Christ: the only Way, the Truth and the Life. God bless and thank you very much.
Thanks. Blessings to you as well.
I am weak but he (Jesus) is strong.
Deeply moved with utter clarity jesus christ is the way "the only way" AMEN...
Jesus Christ is spelled with CAPITAL LETTERS...
Thank you jesus from new Zealand island s ✝️✝️✝️🌈❤️ repent Jesus is coming
Blessings to you!
MAY FATHER YAHWEH BLESS YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Jesus Is happy to hear what you are Saying 🙏🙏🙏
If they don't repent He will blot out their name from the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire and Brimstone forever and ever. This guy is wrong at the end of the video the truth of Falling from Grace.
The truth we all need to hear! Well done!
Jesus the only way !!!
Pray that we ll stand firm in Jesus Christ when the times come....
Very clear thank you only Jesus is the answer to all what is happening today.We have to have that deep faith in Jesus!
Your daily program is our daily bread of power and strength of mind and soul
💖
God bless you Man of God for being so bold to the faith of Jesus.
This video shapes of me to become more stronger in faith in Christ🙂
Very well done. Praise Jesus! He is coming soon! Hallelujah!
Blessed bè the Faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST💖
Great work. Thank you. God bless.
Love it! May Jesus's name be raised on high, and God the Father be given glory forever and ever! My knee's bow down in Jesus's name to the glory of God the Father now, and for eternity,
Thank you for this video Our Daily Bread..God Bless you all in Lord Jesus name..Amen
We're happy that you enjoyed it.
Amen...
It is privilege for us to confess Him before people. It does not add victory on Him but makes us partakers of His Victory over the ridicules of scoffers.
I pray that God will give me every ounce of strength I will need when the time will come to make my stand for Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah and my Saviour, that I will be able to stand up straight with the peace of the Holy Spirit to strengthen me and say Jesus Christ is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth and the ONLY Life. And He gave His Life so I will live! He paid my debt so I can live! Don’t cave at the last minute to public pressure to be politically correct, it is God alone we need to obey! It is He alone that matters! 🙏🙏🙏
Amen.. my 2a will be ready
From the day i start to read and hear more about the book of revelation i get hope and strength....I understand now.
I want to be with Jesus.....Thank you very much.....now i feel him.
Thank you so much!!!
Good message. Some years ago it occurred to me that the churches of Revelation could be types that can apply to churches throughout history, including the present time. I was going through a time where the Lord seemed ready to give me an immediate answer to pretty much any query I had of Him, and I asked if one of the prophecies there applied to 'us', by which I meant the church as I had experienced it. At the time I could not have remembered the names of more than one or two of the churches in Revelation, but He immediately said to me the one word: 'Sardis'. This video has given me some context in which I might better understand what He said to me. It is sobering to think the same complacency and desire to conform in the present day has lead much of the Church to make the same self-serving compromises.
Good observation.
No,revelation is for our time now and the future ,not the past,most is yet to be fulfilled.
The era that fits this time is the final church...Ladiocia. Because the primary application of the 7 churches is the history of the church. How it started out pure but over time evolved into what it is today...rich and increase with goods and has need of nothing.
The best interpreter of scripture, is scripture. Revelations is built upon prophecy, which the congregations will be used to proclaim the message before the Day of judgement.
God's telling us in 7 (# for Holy) different messages everything we need to hear to "let him have (spiritual) ears to hear (through the Holy Spirit to lead) congregations" in all generations; the 7 stars are Apostolic leaders of a congregation which are needed to take an inventory of the spiritual condition of every congregation .......
'Church/Congregation: God's giving us 7 different (messages) to congregations to set us apart, as believers, to have a sancifying influence, warning all congregations of areas of weaknesses in disunity which gives Satan a door to come in through and the judgement that will be set upon if not corrected; these are the areas of weaknesses that He has foresaw that can, will, and have, devour a church if not spiritually maintained ........
@@childofyeshua9006 what about once saved always saved?
Wonderfull just to hear ...let us just drink it in everything about our Precious Jesus....AMEN
Persicution of Christians will always be there from the beginning and to the end.
Jesus had tribulation so will you NO one can escape this since we are in this WORLD but Jesus saved us and took us out of this WORLD. AMEN 🙌
Amen always!!!!
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus!😊🙏
You have the gift of comforting words and peaceful spirit in your words of conviction. Thank you my brother. Blessings to you and your ministry and family!!
Thank you for your kind words.
I've strayed away from God and now making my way back home. I see the storm clouds on the horizon and I will have to make choices that will seal my fate soon. I want to be prepared to make the choice to stand with Jesus. Choosing Jesus will mean I may not be able to buy food, have a home it could mean death, so I want to be ready to make that choice. Thank you soooo much for these words. They're a blessing to my spirit.
Praying for you, Astronomy Domine, as you stand up for Jesus. 🙏
🌈🙏🏻. If you ask the Holy Spirit it will prepare you and make you steadfast.
This series is great. Thank you for making it. God bless.
Thanks for watching Tamis!
This serier is awesome!! I couldn t stop watching them and it is so clarifying to see you painting the picture of the daily life of the place to then highlight the message and the root of the test. You know what especially this of the get along and the vomptomise are so true today. The same spirit of antichrist is rising with the same tribulations. Also the beleivers and their situations as different as we are from one another it s like the message reaches us personally and is noy bound by time as situations are repeating themselves! Glory to God and To Ou Saviour Jesus Christ whose blood redeemed the earth from the sins commited on it. He died and rose so we may live!
I Second That
This is a powerful message about just getting along in order to maintain friendships and survive in a lost world. Being silent so as not to offend. It destroys the power of the message when we do this.
I loved this. Thank you sir and thank you Daily Bread. Many blessings
We're glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve never seen the bible come so alive! Thank you 🙏
To Him we give the glory! We hope you can enjoy more of our series: czcams.com/play/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB.html
I lee from cambodia and i truly believe that Jesus christ the only way, the truth, and the life, I except Jesus as my lord and saviour. And there is no other God that deliver my soul from evil.
Praise the Lord, Lee. 🙌🙌
The Book of Revelation and this series is so interesting. It holds us accountable. I learn so much from ODB, thank you for sharing!
💛📖💛
I’m believing in one God who created the heaven and the earth
Thank you! Absolutely excellent. Such a vital message for today's compromised, 'get-along', so-called Christians: seemingly-alive yet actually dead since our Lord and Saviour's uniqueness is constantly suppressed.
This help me a lot understanding the revelations thank you brother! God Bless Us!
Very important message for us in this very days!!!!
Really we need to be CAREFUL about how we live our lives and how we believe, and more important the way we are working has to be YESHUA's way only .
We’re so glad you enjoyed this series. Have you seen “The Holy Land”? Check it out here: czcams.com/play/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB.html

Bless all of you who viliv in Christ and don’t lose the fe be strong enough to viliv.and keep on pray always pray. On God because the grand tribulations is nearly come to the world. 🙏🔥📖🙏
It reminds me when watching one of the episodes of Oprah Show and topic or debate was about the New Age where Jesus is one of the ways and not The Way. It is true when bible says nothing is new under the sun.
Oprah is not a good source of truth go to the bible
She is apostate
Watching this in 2021, thank you, as a Chriistian from the Oceania region, appreciate the history of the city.
Wonderful and thirst filling and maintenance by the words the only way. A get along culture
There is only one TRUE & LIVING GOD and that is JESUS CHRIST the son of man.

We appreciate your words regarding this video, blessings!
JESUS my Lord and My GOD

If they don't repent He will blot out their name from the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire and Brimstone forever and ever.

Powerful words. which I digest as I fly the Appeal to Heaven Flag in the days of Covid
A great video with an important message.
I thoroughly enjoyed this message/teaching. For those who inquire about those who have never heard the gospel, Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:14 (KJV) “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” He is such a loving Savior and ensures that every nation (no matter how remote the location), will have heard the gospel before He returns. No one will be able to successfully offer up the excuse that they never knew that Jesus is the only way to everlasting life. We serve a God who created the different languages and dialects and will send His messengers throughout the world to proclaim the good news of the Gospel. Praise Jesus for His unending love and mercy!
We are so encouraged to hear this was a blessing to you! We hope you can subscribe to our channel and view more of our videos, like this one: czcams.com/video/Wi_A1vSyXsI/video.html
The more I learn about the first christians, the more I realize how so little has changed.
I'm praying for the best for ODB ministry. 👍 ❤ Jesus bless you always. Amen
Thank you for your prayers, Rakon!
Thank you for the video, it reminds me that a true christian will share the goodnews around the world boldly, make other people His disciple, matthew 28:18-20.❤
We love to hear your words, blessings!
God bless you. God is using to to spread His message. Keep doing it.
May God bless you, also.
Watching this makes me cry. You don't have to be religious to feel with is happening. I'm on my spiritual journey and getting right with God. When God is tapping you on the shoulder you will feel it. All the signs are shown and people still in their own little bubble. Shaking my head. You see the climate changing taken place, you see the flooding, hail, fire, earthquake, whales on beaches dead, birds are dying at the blink of an eye, tornados in places never see, sinkholes multiplying and volcanoes all over the global popping up. Matthrew @-44 ESV & Matthrew @ KJV (NASB)
That’s exactly the truth to tell someone this is the way through Jesus then it’s just like to start the trouble
amen glory be to the FATHER AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST AND TO HIS CHURCH THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS CHRIST NAME OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR AMEN
