The Angel of The Church.


Long ago I was taught that pastors are the angels of the churches, relying on letters to seven churches of Revelation. And this is the thinking of many, but could this really true? Analyze, because one of these texts contained in the book of Revelation:
"Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: This says that he has in his right hand seven stars, who walks among the seven golden candlesticks."The first fact that we have observed is that there were several pastors in the churches as the apostle Paul writes. "And he gave some apostles, some prophets and some evangelists, and some pastors and doctors," Ef.4: 11
So which of these would be the angel of the church at Ephesus? Since the word angel is placed in the singular and not plural, and besides writing is so tiny. When referring to the Scriptures to the angel of the Lord written with uppercase know that is a reference to Christ, who is not the case here treated. If writing is presented so tiny that we believe is a reference to the angels of God, since it is seven angels, one for each church, see: "The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches "Revelation 1:20. Who makes the description of this scripture is Jesus himself, and at no time he refers to angels as pastors, but as angels.
As we said above that the angels were pastors of churches, which one refers to the seven letters, since there were several? If this were not enough even Scripture is most enlightening when we read the same book of Revelation: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants things which must happen soon, and by his angel he sent and signified to John, his servant, who testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and all you have seen. "Ap.1 :1-2 See the text is exceedingly instructive, the revelation of Christ is to be shown to his servants (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, doctors) all these angels are servants and not the church. "And by his angel he sent and signified to John." See who is the angel that John notifies the order of Jesus, and John bore witness to the Word of God churches, including us. See:" John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne." Ap.1.4 In fact the placement of pastors as angels of the Church, not merely a religious superstition.
Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. "John 8:32.
