There are "things which you have seen", "things which are", and "things which will take place".
The seven churches of the book of Revelation, which actually existed in the 1st Century ("things which you have seen"), also represent seven broad types of churches that can exist at any time in history ("things which are"), and seven generally overlapping periods of church history ("things which will take place"). These letters to the seven churches of Asia can be applied in four main ways:
1. They existed literally and historically at the end of the 1st Century A.D.
2. They are seven types of churches which exist at any time throughout history.
3. They represent seven types of churches that will exist at the end of the age.
4. They correspond quite well to seven periods of church history.
This book examines the history of the church in light of the letters of Jesus Christ to the seven churches in Asia, as recorded by John in his Revelations. Unless learning can be achieved from the errors of the past it is a sure thing that those errors will be repeated.

圖書標籤: 離經叛道 釋經學 福音 末世論 時代論 基督教 啟示錄七教會 信仰
這本書可以說是把兩韆年的教會史給梳理瞭一遍瞭,包括各種異端的病理學特點。P老師的博聞讓人摺服。隻可惜,陳述觀點時論證稍貧血,包括「為什麼啟示錄七教會代錶著教會時代七個階段」,他似乎也隻是直接規避,一上來就以之為默認,沒有詳細論及。從釋經上,在我看來P老師的嚴謹度也差強人意。反倒是攻擊被麯解的某些教導時(尤其是止息論),翻來覆去就用「稻草人」陰招,讓人眼鏡大跌。扣一星。另外,P老師的確戾氣很重,到最後幾乎把整一圈子的人都罵瞭一遍。貼標籤,下定論。「我見過這個人。就一騙子。麻煩告訴他我是這麼說的。」當攻擊人身多於攻破壁壘,整個見證就變味瞭。再扣一星。沒有預想的造就,有點遺憾。

評分P老師作為一個Messianic Jew,寫的東西隻要翻兩頁就能看到強烈的猶太人色彩。1.井噴似的知識儲備。教會曆史,聖經,神學信手拈來。2.強烈的智力碾壓感,兩三百頁把教會曆史上各種經驗教訓總結地非常深刻。3.堪比魯迅的諷刺能力。但言語刻薄實在不能說是 1)
