The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:18-29

Epistle to the Church at Thyatira. Careful readers of these letters will observe how in this and the foregoing ones St. John seems to be contemplating great historical events recorded in the Old Testament. In the first, the allusion to "the tree of life" and the "Paradise of God" carries us back to the story of the Fall and the expulsion from Eden. In the second, Noah and the Flood are apparently referred to in the promise of life as the reward of fidelity, and the not being "hurt of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:18-29

(4) The epistle to the Church in Thyatria: the growing Church exposed to corruption of doctrine. With the highest title, "the Son of God," the Lord of the Church speaks—the Lord who searches as with eyes of flame and with burning, consuming fire, and treads down his enemies beneath his feet. The vision is unusually impressive, as the state of the Church is unusually momentous. The letter is extended, and describes the commendable condition of the Church, the subtle danger that threatens... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:18-29

The words of Christ from eternity to the congregation at Thyatira. "And unto the angel of the Church in Thyatira," etc. Thyatira was situated between Pergamos and Sardis, a little off the main road which connected these two cities. It was a Macedonian colony, founded by Alexander the Great (or whom I should rather designate "Alexander the Contemptible" ) after the overthrow of the Persian empire. The Macedonian colonists appear to have introduced the worship of Apollo, honoured as the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:23

And her children (placed first, in emphatic distinction from those who have been seduced into temporary connexion with her) I will kill with death . With ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ comp. LXX . in Ezekiel 33:27 and Le Ezekiel 20:10 ; and θανάτῳ τελευτάτω , Matthew 15:4 and Mark 7:10 ; the phrase recurs in Revelation 6:8 . Those who have not merely been beguiled into sin by her, but are united to her in a permanent moral relationship ( John 8:44 ), shall perish in some... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:24

But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira . The "and" after "I say" in the Authorized Version is a false reading, which it shares with the Vulgate and Luther: "to you" and "to the rest" are in apposition. Which know not the deep things of Satan, as they say. Two questions confront us here, and it is not possible to answer either with certainty: read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:25

Howbeit . Not simply ἀλλά or δέ , but πλήν , which occurs nowhere else in St. John's writings. Although no other burden than this is imposed, yet remember what it implies. Hold fast the love, and faith, and service, and patience, and the growth in these virtues, for which thou hast been commended (verse 19). Comp. Revelation 3:11 , where a similar charge is given to the Church at Philadelphia. The Greek for "till I come" is remarkable— ἄχρις οὗ ἂν ἤξω ; where the ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 2:25

Christian excellence. "But that which ye have already hold fast till! come." These few words give us three ideas concerning Christian excellence. I. CHRISTIAN EXCELLENCE IS AN ATTAINMENT . The words are addressed to Christians at Thyatira, and they are represented as having "charity," or love to Christ, and "patience," or holy fortitude and magnanimity under all the trials of life. These are all elements of Christian excellence, and these they are represented as having ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:23

And I will kill her children with death - A strong Hebraistic mode of expression, meaning that he would certainly destroy them. It has been made a question whether the word “children” here is to be taken literally or figuratively. The word itself would admit of either interpretation; and there is nothing in the connection by which its meaning here can be determined. If it is to be taken literally, it is in accordance with what is often threatened in the Scriptures, that children shall be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:24

But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira - The word - “and” - καὶ kai - is omitted in many mss. and versions, and in the critical editions of Griesbach, Tittmann, and Hahn, and the connection demands that it should be omitted. As it stands in the received text, it would seem that what he here says was addressed to those who had received that doctrine, and to all others as well as to them; whereas the declaration here made pertains manifestly to those who had not received the doctrine.... read more
