The true meaning of 'open door' in Revelation 3

"An open door in Revelation3, the heart of Jesus and his disciples, the 'door of the heart'"

[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony]

We meet many people as we go through our lives. To people who show the heart and share sincerity, it is sometimes expressed as 'opened the door of our heart.' In addition, in life, sometimes we cross the threshold of difficult exams and sometimes we knock on the door to get a job. 

As such, there are several expressions for a door. In the book of Revelation, there is a saying that Jesus opened the door to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. What kind of door is this door? To conclude, the open door in Revelation 3 means the heart of Jesus and his disciples, the door of their hearts. Setting the door before the angel of the church in Philadelphia means that Jesus opened the path to and from him.

God said that the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in the Bible are hidden in parables, so that no one in the world knows. The secret of heaven hidden in parables can be known in its reality when the word is fulfilled and prophecies are fulfilled at the appointed time.

The book of Revelation, which records the events at the Second Coming of the Lord, is a prophetic book that records the events of betrayal, destruction and salvation. In Revelation 1, seven stars, seven shepherds appear at the church of seven golden candlesticks which prepare the way before the Lord. And, Revelation 2, destroyer, the Nicolaitans entered after the tabernacle of seven golden candlesticks appeared. 

These destroyers fed the seven stars sacrificed to idols, which led seven stars being betrayed and destroyed. At that time, Jesus came to John and told him to send a letter and John sent a letter to the seven stars that betrayed. 

The contents of the letter of John sent to the seven stars are recorded in Revelation 2-3. Its contents sent to betrayed seve stars are to repent, to fight and overcome the enemy, and to be blessed if they overcome.

The first thing to know is that the Apostle John and the seven churches were expressed in proverbs using the name of people and the name of place. When the book of Revelation was written, it was not the time of its fulfillment. So, he prophesied the reality in a proverb that would come true in the future. It says in Revelation 1 seven stars and seven churches are secrets. So seven churches are not real churches in Asia. The seven churches and the seven stars are the tabernacle of the seven golden candlestick and seven angels which will appear at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus.

Also, the Apostle John did not come back to life and preach the words and its reality he wrote. A pastor who is in the same position as the apostle John, the New John, appears and testifies what he saw and heard. Among them, the text is the content of the letter sent by Jesus through the apostle John to the angel of Philadelphia church.

Jesus, who sent the letter, said that he set an open door before the angel of Philadelphia which opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens. What is the open door that Jesus set?

Jesus said in Revelation 3 that he stands at the door, and knocks : if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, he will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Therefore, an open door is the door of a person's heart. Jesus knocks on the door of our hearts to enter and live in people's hearts. In John 14, it says 'At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.' Like this, we get to know that the Holy Spirit of the Lord dwells in our hearts as Jesus said. 

In John 10, Jesus said 'I am the door of Lamb. If any man enters, he shall be saved and find pasture.' Therefore, the door of this text is the heart of Jesus that no one can shut when it is opened, and no one can open when it is shut. Furthermore, the hearts of Jesus' disciples also become an open door.

Therefore, to set an open door before the Philadelphia church means that the path to come and go with Jesus has been opened. This is because the angel of the Philadelphia church kept the word and did not deny the name of Jesus even though they had a little strength.

However, even after receiving the letter of Jesus, the seven angels of the seven churches did not repent of their works which resulted in being destroyed by Satan's Nicolaitans and ended. At this time, a person who fights against Satan's Nicolaitans and overcomes will appear. This overcomer will receive the blessings that Jesus promised in Revelation 2-3, such as food for eternal life, heaven and the power to judge and rule all nations sitting on the throne of Jesus. Accordingly, people of all nations can gain heaven and eternal life through an overcomer and reach God. Therefore, no matter how much we read the Bible, if we do not find the one who overcomes, it is of no use. 

This overcomer is the witness who saw and heard at the scene of the events in the book of Revelation. He is the messenger of Jesus sent to the churches and the New John who took the little book and ate up in Revelation 10.

All the saints who await the Second Coming of the Lord must check the fulfilled Revelation. Above all, we must meet the promised pastor who overcomes in Revelation 2-3. Jesus said he left the seven stars and came to the one who overcomes after the seven stars that worked in Jesus' right hand betraying and being destroyed. Therefore, where the overcomer is, there is an open door through which Jesus can come and go.

Jesus, who was the opened door at the First coming of Jesus, said that no man can come to the Father but by me(John 14:6). Therefore, Only through Jesus, where God was with, we could gain heaven and salvation. But, the scribes and Pharisees belonging to Satan shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither going in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Thus, those who do not come to the New John, the overcomer who is with Jesus and the opened door today at the Second Coming of Jesus, or those who prevent people from going with lies and persecution are no different from the scribes and Pharisees. Believers should distinguish their works based on the BibIe.

 

"Things go smoothly, the door of gospel, the door of each person's life"

[Existing denomination Presbyterian Church]

Presbyterian Pastor A

Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it, The meaning of 'setting an open door in the world' is that something just goes well.  It means that everythings is going well.  Why is that so? If the authority gives it that way, it will be full of blessings.  that's a blessing

Presbyterian Pastor B

Regarding another answer to an open door, it tells that this open door means an open door in my life.  For those who are faithful for the sake of Jesus Christ and for the sake of the gospel, he opens everything in our lives.  It is not a closed door. For these people, the door for business is open, the door for work is open, and the door for children is wide open.  The door means these things.
