THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND THE DOORS OF HELL
The Windows Of Heaven And The Doors Of Hell
Adrian Rogers
Take your bibles please and turn to the book of the Revelation, chapter two and we'll look in verse eight as we continue a new series of messages on the -seven churches in the book of the Revelation. Tonight the title of our message is this, THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND THE DOORS OF HELL. And I'm reading beginning in verses 8 - 11 tonight so now let me just begin.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrr. And it's the same word. It's translated here Smyrna, but it's the same word that's translated there, Myrr and it was a sweet perfume that came from being crushed. It was sort of a aromatic type of perfume that was a balm to be used in healing and sometimes to be used uh, in embalming. Another time that this word is used in the bible, this same word Smyrna that is translated here, actually, the word myrr, is when the Lord Jesus Christ was on the cross. Do you remember the bible says that when he was in agony there, they offered him wine mingled or mixed wit ...
