Revelation 3:8-10 NIV

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 3:9

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. Ver. 9. I will make them ] The conversion of the Jews shall be the wonder of the Gentiles. Which say they are Jews, and are not ] The perverse Jews at this day pretend (but maliciously) that those few Jews that turn Christians are not of them, but poor Christians hired from other places to... read more

The word of my patience ] So called, 1. Because we must suffer for the truth of it. 2. Because, hid in the heart, it worketh patience.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Revelation 3:8

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.I have given before thee an opened door — To enter into the joy of thy Lord; and, meantime, to go on unhindered in every good work.Thou hast a little strength — But little outward human strength; a little, poor, mean, despicable company. Yet thou hast kept my word - Both in judgment and practice. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 3:1-22

2. Epistles successively to the seven Churches, Revelation 2:1 to Revelation 3:22. The seven epistles to the Churches of Asia have been interpreted by a few commentators as a symbolical representation of the varying conditions of the Church through a chronological succession of periods. Thus Vitringa made them typify the history of the Church from its first founding down to his own time. But the failure to make out a due correspondence between the supposed representation and its fulfilments... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 3:8

8. Set before thee an open door Namely, of divine entrance into the heavenly Jerusalem. No… shut it No persecutions can exclude them from entering to their crown, Revelation 3:11. Hast by my grace a little strength for entering the heavenly door. And in the use of that “gracious ability,” hast kept my word. Hast not, amid faithlessness and persecution, denied my name. The Christian name, perhaps; which, long since adopted at Antioch, has been well maintained in Philadelphia. We... read more
