In the message to Laodicea we read the well-known words of our Messiah which He wrote to the believers in that city: "So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.…” (3:16). What was Yeshua communicating through this harsh rebuke and why did He chose to use this specific analogy of "lukewarm" water to describe the spiritual state of the Laodiceans?Watch now to discover in this seventh and final message to the seven congregations.

Minute 13- what does it mean that Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God?
Good question. Rev. 3:14 speaks of Yeshua as the “Beginning of the creation of God”. The Greek word for “beginning” can mean “first”, “origin” or “ruler”. As God, Yeshua was the origin and ruler of creation. We also read this in John 1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.”
The word beginning in these verses is the same Greek word “arche” as in Rev. 3:14. Yeshua is the origin, source, and ruler of Creation together with Father God and the Holy Spirit.
