Revelation 2:1 to Revelation 3:22 . The Letters to the Seven Churches.— These letters are addressed to individual churches, but their messages are intended for the Church as a whole.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 2:18-29

Revelation 2:18-Joel : . The Letter to the Church at Thyatira.— Thyatira, which was about 4 miles SE. of Pergamum, was relatively much less important than the cities already mentioned. It was a commercial centre, and seems to have been chiefly famous for the dyeing trade ( cf. Acts 16:14 f.). Revelation 2:18 . the Son of God: while the rest of the verse is borrowed from the description of Christ in Revelation 1:13, this phrase is an addition. Revelation 2:19 . last works, etc.: contrast... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 2:18

Thyatira was a city of Mysia or Lydia, not far from Philippi, the chief city of Macedonia; for Lydia, who traded in purple, and was of this city, went to Philippi to trade, as we read, Acts 16:12,Acts 16:14. Eyes like unto a flame of fire: see Revelation 1:14,Revelation 1:15; it signifies either angry eyes, or quick and piercing eyes. The comparing of his feet to fine brass, seemeth to signify both the purity and holiness of his ways and methods of providence, and also his firmness and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 2:18-29

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 2:18. Thyatira.—Situated between Pergamos and Sardis. Inscriptions show that it contained many corporate guilds, one being that of the dyers. Apollo was specially worshipped, as the sun-god, under the Macedonian name of Tyrinnas. Son of God.—This name solemnly affirms His Divine power, as well as right, and prepares for the promised bestowment of power, in Revelation 2:26. Eyes.—A figure representing His omniscience, and especially the intensity of its... read more

Unto the angel of the Church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; I know thy works.THE similarity of method which is observed in all the epistles to the seven Churches of Asia Minor renders it difficult to diversify, in any great degree, our mode of treating the subjects contained in them. But, indeed, we need not be anxious about this matter; for... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 2:1-29

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks ( Revelation 2:1 );So the description of Jesus out of chapter one, "He holds the seven stars in his right hand and He walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks".

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 2:1-29

Epistle the first. Revelation 2:1 . The angel of the church of Ephesus, or the messenger of Christ; for the apostles, and apostolic men, while they remained in any church, were always regarded as the chief pastors, and as having the first powers of discipline. Hence John rebuked Diotrephes, and Paul threatened the disturbers of Corinth with a rod. John in like manner, as the apostle of the Lord, regarded his pastoral trusts, as general superintendent and bishop of all the churches of... read more

Revelation 2:18-29Thyatira.Thyatira--the sentimental ChurchOne thing which Ephesus had Thyatira wanted, and it was a blessed want; nothing is said of Thyatira’s “toil.” The temper which animated the Church made all its service joyous, Therefore the Lord’s commendation is so full and unreserved; He does not talk of removing the candlestick out of its place; instead He frankly recognises the growing efficiency of His servants: “I know that thy latest works are more than the first.” Nevertheless... read more
