Revelation 3:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 3:14

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.” ’

14 “And to the¹ angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ^a‘These things says the Amen, ^bthe Faithful and True Witness, ^cthe Beginning of the creation of God:

15 ^a“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither¹ cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

17 Because you say, ^a‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

18 I counsel you ^ato buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and ^bwhite garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

19 ^aAs many as I love, I rebuke and ^bchasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

20 Behold, ^aI stand at the door and knock. ^bIf anyone hears My voice and opens the door, ^cI will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

21 To him who overcomes ^aI will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

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