Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:20

20. a few things—omitted in the three oldest manuscripts. Translate then, "I have against thee that," c. sufferest—The three oldest manuscripts read, "lettest alone." that woman—Two oldest manuscripts read, "THY wife" two omit it. Vulgate and most ancient versions read as English Version. The symbolical Jezebel was to the Church of Thyatira what Jezebel, Ahab's "wife," was to him. Some self-styled prophetess (or as the feminine in Hebrew is often used collectively to express a multitude, a set... read more

21. space—Greek, "time." of her fornication . . . she repented not—The three oldest manuscripts read, "and she willeth not to repent of (literally, 'out of,' that is, so as to come out of) her fornication." Here there is a transition from literal to spiritual fornication, as appears from Revelation 2:22. The idea arose from Jehovah's covenant relation to the Old Testament Church being regarded as a marriage, any transgression against which was, therefore, harlotry, fornication, or adultery. read more

23. her children— (Isaiah 57:3; Ezekiel 23:45; Ezekiel 23:47). Her proper adherents; not those who suffer her, but those who are begotten of her. A distinct class from the last in Ezekiel 23:47- : (compare Note, see on Ezekiel 23:47- :), whose sin was less direct, being that only of connivance. kill . . . with death—Compare the disaster that overtook the literal Jezebel's votaries of Baal, and Ahab's sons, 1 Kings 18:40; 2 Kings 10:6; 2 Kings 10:7; 2 Kings 10:24; 2 Kings 10:25.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:24

24. you . . . and . . . the rest—The three oldest manuscripts omit "and"; translate then, "Unto you, the rest." as many as have not—not only do not hold, but are free from contact with. and which—The oldest manuscripts omit "and"; translate, "whosoever." the depths—These false prophets boasted peculiarly of their knowledge of mysteries and the deep things of God; pretensions subsequently expressed by their arrogant title, Gnostics ("full of knowledge"). The Spirit here declares their so-called... read more

26. And—implying the close connection of the promise to the conqueror that follows, with the preceding exhortation, Revelation 2:25. and keepeth—Greek, "and he that keepeth." Compare the same word in the passage already alluded to by the Lord, Acts 15:28; Acts 15:29, end. my works—in contrast to "her (English Version, 'their') works" (Acts 15:29- :). The works which I command and which are the fruit of My Spirit. unto the end— (Acts 15:29- :). The image is perhaps from the race, wherein it is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:27

27. From Psalms 2:8; Psalms 2:9. rule—literally, "rule as a shepherd." In Psalms 2:9 it is, "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron." The Septuagint, pointing the Hebrew word differently, read as Revelation here. The English Version of Psalms 2:9- : is doubtless right, as the parallel word, "dash in pieces," proves. But the Spirit in this case sanctions the additional thought as true, that the Lord shall mingle mercy to some, with judgment on others; beginning by destroying His Antichristian... read more

1. Destination and description of Christ 2:1Ephesus was a leading seaport and the capital of the Roman province of Asia. Paul had evangelized it and used it as a base of operations for at least three years (Acts 18:19-21; Acts 19; 1 Corinthians 16:8). Timothy had labored there (1 Timothy 1:3) as had the Apostle John. [Note: See my comments on 1:9.] It was the largest city in Asia Minor and was "the Vanity Fair of the Ancient World." [Note: William Barclay, Letters to the Seven Churches, p. 12.]... read more
