Revelation 3:11 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

Revelation 3:11

9 Indeed I will make ^athose of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed ^bI will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, ^aI also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon ^bthe whole world, to test those who dwell ^con the earth.

11 Behold, ^aI am coming quickly! ^bHold fast what you have, that no one may take ^cyour crown.

12 He who overcomes, I will make him ^aa pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall ^bgo out no more. ^cI will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the ^dNew Jerusalem, which ^ecomes down out of heaven from My God. ^fAnd I will write on him My new name.

13 ^a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Revelation 3:11

I come quickly (erxomai taxu). As in Revelation 2:16; Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:12, Revelation 22:20. "The keynote of the book" (Beckwith). But allow the author's own meaning of "quickly."

Hold fast that which thou hast (kratei o exeiv). Sort of motto for each church (Revelation 2:25).

That no one take (ina mhdeiv labh). Purpose clause with ina and second aorist active subjunctive of lambanw. Here to take away "thy crown" (Revelation 2:10) which will be thine if really won and not forfeited by failure (II Timothy 4:8). In that case it will go to another (Matthew 25:28; Romans 11:17 f.).
