SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:25
Pero la que tenis, tenedla hasta que yo venga.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 2:25
Verse 25. That which ye have] That is, the pure doctrine of the Gospel, hold fast till I come - till I come to execute the judgments which I have threatened.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. But that which ye have [already] , etc.] Which was something good, even the faithful word, the form of sound words, the mystery and doctrine of faith; this they had received from Christ and his apostles; they had it in their hearts, and a comfortable experience of the truth and power of it, and had made a profession of it, which they now held, and are here exhorted to hold fast: hold fast till I come ; meaning the coming of Christ, either at the Reformation by Luther, Calvin, and others, which began at the close of this church state, when the hands and hearts of those professors would be more strengthened, which seems to be the first sense of the words; or to judge Jezebel, destroy antichrist, which will be by the brightness of his coming; till which time the doctrine of the Gospel is to be held fast: and such an exhortation will be always necessary, since, till then, there will be always more or less an opposition to it, and attempts made to wrest it out of the hands of its professors, to cause them to hesitate about it, and to intimidate them in the profession of it, by loading them with reproaches, calumnies, and persecution.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-29 - Even when the Lord knows the works of his people to be wrought in love faith, zeal, and patience; yet if his eyes, which are as a flame of fire, observe them committing or allowing what is evil, he will rebuke correct, or punish them. Here is praise of the ministry and people of Thyatira, by One who knew the principles from which they acted. The grew wiser and better. All Christians should earnestly desire tha their last works may be their best works. Yet this church connived a some wicked seducers. God is known by the judgments he executes; and by this upon seducers, he shows his certain knowledge of the hearts of men, of their principles, designs, frame, and temper. Encouragement is given to those who kept themselves pure and undefiled. It is dangerou to despise the mystery of God, and as dangerous to receive the mysteries of Satan. Let us beware of the depths of Satan, of whic those who know the least are the most happy. How tender Christ is of his faithful servants! He lays nothing upon his servants but what is for their good. There is promise of an ample reward to the persevering victorious believer; also knowledge and wisdom, suitable to their powe and dominion. Christ brings day with him into the soul, the light of grace and of glory, in the presence and enjoyment of him their Lord an Saviour. After every victory let us follow up our advantage against the enemy, that we may overcome and keep the works of Christ to the end __________________________________________________________________
