SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:27
y los regir con vara de hierro, y sern quebrantados como vaso de alfarero, como tambin yo la he recibido de mi Padre;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 2:27
Verse 27. He shall rule them with a rod of iron] He shall restrain vice by the strictest administration of justice; and those who finally despise the word and rebel shall be broken and destroyed, so as never more to be able to make head against the truth. This seems to refer to the heathen world; and perhaps Constantine the Great may be intended, who, when he overcame Licinius, became the instrument in God's hand of destroying idolatry over the whole Roman empire; and it was so effectually broken as to be ever after like the fragments of an earthen vessel, of no use in themselves, and incapable of being ever united to any good purpose.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron , etc.] Either with the Gospel, which is the rod of Christ's strength, and is the power of God unto salvation, and by which the kingdom of Christ is enlarged, and the power of the church of Christ over the antichristian party is increased; or it may design great strictness and severity, with which the man of sin will be used by the saints of the most High, when they shall take away his dominion from him: as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers ; which may be expressive either of the breaking of rocky hearts in pieces at conversion, and of making souls humble and contrite; or of the irreparable ruin and destruction of antichrist, when the saints shall consume and destroy him: even as I received of my Father ; Christ, as God, has an underived power and government; but, as Mediator, his rule and power over the nations are asked by him, given to him, and received by him, ( Psalm 2:8,9). This as does not intend equality, but similitude; and denotes the participation the saints will have with Christ in the judgment and destruction of antichrist, and in his kingdom and power.
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 __________________________________________________________________
