Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 3:10

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience - My word commanding or enjoining patience; that is, thou hast manifested the patience which I require. They had shown this in the trials which they had experienced; he promises now, that in return he will keep them in the future trials that shall come upon the world. One of the highest rewards of patience in one trial is the grace that God gives us to bear another. The fact that we have been patient and submis sive may be regarded as proof that he... read more

Revelation 3:9-10. Behold, I Who have all power, and when I exert it they must then comply; will make them Who are indeed of the synagogue of Satan And under all the solemn guise of religious worship are carrying on Satan’s cause and interest; which say they are Jews Pretend to be my people, but are not; I will make them to come and worship, or bow down, before thy feet To pay thee the lowest homage; and to know that I have loved thee That all depends on my love; and that thou... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 3:7-13

Letter to Philadelphia (3:7-13)Smyrna and Philadelphia are the only churches that receive no blame from the Lord, but only praise and encouragement. Yet Smyrna was poor and Philadelphia was small. Also, both churches received their opposition from the Jews.He who carries the key of David has the authority to allow people into or shut them out from the city of David, which here is symbolic of the new Jerusalem, the kingdom of Jesus Christ (7; cf. v. 12). The Jews claimed they were the people of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 3:10

Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell on the earth.The word of my patience ... Of several interpretations advocated regarding this, that of Trench as quoted by Earle seems the best: "It is much better to take the whole Gospel as the word of Christ's patience, everywhere teaching, as it does, the need of a patient waiting for Christ."[45]I will also keep thee from the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 3:9-10

Revelation 3:9-10. Make them of the synagogue of Satan;— See ch. Revelation 2:9. Here we have the Jews mentioned again, who, through hatred to Christ, moved the Heathens to persecute the Christians; and it is likely that the persecution, in which the faith of this angel had been tried, like that at Smyrna, was contrived by them. Some understand the 9th verse, of the state of humiliation and subjection of the Jews to the Christian church; and others, of their future conversion to the faith. It... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 3:10

10. patience—"endurance." "The word of My endurance" is My Gospel word, which teaches patient endurance in expectation of my coming ( :-). My endurance is the endurance which I require, and which I practice. Christ Himself now endures, patiently waiting until the usurper be cast out, and all "His enemies be made His footstool." So, too, His Church, for the joy before her of sharing His coming kingdom, endures patiently. Hence, in :-, follows, "Behold, I come quickly." I also—The reward is in... read more

3. Promise 3:9-12Jesus Christ gave no rebuke to this church, as was true of the church in Smyrna. He gave the Christians five promises instead.First, their Jewish antagonists would eventually have to acknowledge that the Christians were the true followers of God (cf. Revelation 2:9). These foes claimed to be the true followers of God, but they were not, having rejected Jesus Christ (cf. John 8:31-59). Eventually they would have to admit their error, at the judgment of unbelievers (the great... read more
