I just learned something fascinating, Rev. 8 says:
To the angel of the church in Smyrna write the following: “This is the solemn pronouncement of the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead, but came to life,"
And then Rev. 2:9 says:
"I know the distress you are suffering and your poverty (but you are rich). I also know the slander against you by those who call themselves Jews and really are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."
Well... THE CHURCH OF SMYRNA WAS DOING TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY PRACTICES the same way we see being done today!! 😳
Check out this historical info about the Church of Smyrna:
"Some ancient rituals involved gender ambiguity or cross-dressing, particularly in the worship of deities like Cybele and Dionysus. The Galli were priests of Cybele who ritually castrated themselves to serve the goddess, adopting feminine clothing and roles."
A quick video on this history:
So the modern concerns of our era are nothing new, and like 2 Peter 3:8-9 reminds us...we're still stuck in a repetitive loop of the "last days" until the gospel takes over the world since God doesnt want any of us to perish... he's waiting until the majority converts. (aka Postmillennialism) 😤🙏🏾
