Revelation 2:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 2:16

14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of ^aBalaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, ^bto eat things sacrificed to idols, ^cand to commit sexual immorality.

15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and ^awill fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden ^amanna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone ^ba new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
