Hell's Headquarters
Adrian Rogers
Revelation 2
Take your bibles please now and turn to Revelation chapter two. We're bringing tonight the third in a series of seven messages on the seven churches in the book of the Revelation. You will remember that the first message was entitled the honeymoon is over or what to do when the honeymoon is over or what to do when your love grows cold and that was the Ephesian church.

We said that when God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil opens the doors of hell to blast us.

''I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is.''
The word seat is the Greek word thronos and it actually means where Satan's throne is. Here was a church that was located right on the doorsteps of hell as it were.

But I have a few things against thee because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacr ...
