Geneva Study Bible - Revelation 2:19

2:19 I know {19} thy works, and charity, and {i} service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.(19) The note of praise is in this verse, and in Revelation 2:20 reprehension, for they tolerated with them the doctrine of unrighteousness and ungodliness. In Revelation 2:21 , though they were called back to God, they did not repent. To this he adds even stronger threats and in Revelation 3:2-5 he gives a conditional promise and an exhortation to hold... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Revelation 2:20

2:20 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 {k} fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.(k) Often in the scripture, by fornication they mean idolatry. read more

2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the {l} depths of Satan, as they speak; I will {m} put upon you none other burden.(l) He points out the bragging of certain men, who boasted of their deep, that is, plentiful and common knowledge, which nonetheless is devilish.(m) I will speak no worse thing against you, being content to have showed you what I require to be in you. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 2:1-29

The Address to Ephesus (vv. 1-7) Each local assembly is addressed on the basis of its responsibility as a testimony for God. Each of these assemblies actually existed and were functioning as assemblies in Asia Minor at the time of John's writing, but the spiritual condition of each is strikingly representative of seven successive stages of the entire history of the Church on earth from its beginning until the coming of the Lord (the Rapture). This interpretation is supported by such... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 2:1-29

THE SEVEN CHURCHES This section might also be entitled “The things which are.” No agreement exists as to the application of “angel” in the address to each of these churches, but as the word means “messenger,” it may refer to those sent by the churches to interview the apostle at Patmos (see Philippians 4:18 ). Of course, the seven churches existed at this time in Asia, and yet the epistles have not only a local application to them, but apply representatively to the whole church everywhere at... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Revelation 2:1-7

Letter to Ephesus Rev 2:1-7 I. The Head of the Church has a minute knowledge of all the services of his people. First. There is distinguished labour. "I know thy works, and thy labour." The church at Ephesus had been a working church. It had been operating on the surrounding regions of depravity, darkness, and death. In its early life it was eminently an aggressive church. For my own part, I would have Christ's Church as ambitious as Alexander. As he waved his battle-flag over a conquered... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Revelation 2:8-10

Letter to Smyrna Rev 2:8-10 I. Christ reveals himself to his people according to their moral condition. In support of this assertion it is only necessary to read the superscriptions of the letters "unto the seven churches which are in Asia." By the title or representation which the Son of man assumes, we may anticipate the revelation in which he is about to appear. His very names are vital with moral significance, as the very hem of his garment is impregnated with remedial power. A casual... read more
