Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Sound doctrine starts with what Jesus said. John wrote the words Jesus spoke to 7 established churches of his day. What did Jesus say to them? How do those words fit your church's doctrine?
“Teacher, which is the great command in the Torah?”
And YHVHSVA said to him, “
‘You shall love YHVVH your Alahim with all your heart and with all your being and with all your mind.’
“This is the first and great command.
“And the second is like it,
‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
“On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”
Many things happen in life and often seem nonsensical. But if I do not know how bitter it tastes, how can I know how sweet it tastes? Everything seems to be for our growth and transformation. Situations do not appear just at whim in the life.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

9. Ephesus Revelation 2:1-7
1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These
things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right
hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks;2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy
patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are
evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are
apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:3 And
hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake
hast laboured, and hast not fainted.4 Nevertheless I
have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love.
10. Ephesus Revelation 2:1-7
5 Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen,
and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out
of his place, except thou repent.6 But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I
also hate.7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst
of the paradise of God.

dead, and is alive;9 I know thy works, and tribulation,
and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are
not, but are the synagogue of Satan.10 Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil
shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be
tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life.11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not
be hurt of the second death.

12 And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with
two edges;13 I know thy works, and where thou
dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest
fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in
those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr,
who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.14 But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast
there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who
taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols,
and to commit fornication.
17. Pergamum Revelation 2:12-17
15 So
hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.16 Repent; or else I will
come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them
with the sword of my mouth.17 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To
him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden
manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth it.

unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write;
These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes
like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine
brass;19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and
faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to
be more than the first.20 Notwithstanding I have a few
things against thee, because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to
teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto
idols.21 And I gave her space to repent of her
fornication; and she repented not.
21. Thyatira Revelation 2:18-29
22 Behold,
I will cast her into a bed, and them that
commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except
they repent of their deeds.23 And I will kill her children
with death; and all the churches shall know that I am
he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give
unto every one of you according to your works.24 But
unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many
as have not this doctrine, and which have not known
the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you
none other burden.25 But that which ye have already
hold fast till I come.26 And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give
power over the nations:
22. Thyatira Revelation 2:18-29
27 And
he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the
vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:

25. Sardis Revelation 3:1-6
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write;
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of
God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou
hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.2 Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect
before God.3 Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If
therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as
a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come
upon thee.
26. Sardis Revelation 3:1-6
4 Thou
hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in
white: for they are worthy.5 He that overcometh, the
same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not

that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;8 I
know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an
open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a
little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not
denied my name.9 Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are
not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved
thee.
30. Philadelphia Revelation 3:7-13
10 Because
thou hast kept the word of my patience, I
also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which
shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell
upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that
fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown.12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I
will write upon him the name of my God, and the
name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name.13 He that

write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;15 I
know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot.16 So then because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue
thee out of my mouth.17 Because thou sayest, I am
rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
34. Laodicea Revelation 3:14-22
18 I
counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy
nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see.19 As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in
to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.21 To
him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
