Apocalipsis 2:22

22 Por eso la voy a postrar en un lecho de dolor, y a los que cometen adulterio con ella los haré sufrir terriblemente, a menos que se arrepientan de lo que aprendieron de ella.

Apocalipsis 2:22 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 2:22

Behold, I will cast her into a bed
Of sickness and languishing; and which denotes the sickly, pining, and languishing state of the church of Rome, as a just retaliation for her bed of luxury and deliciousness, adultery and idolatry, she had indulged herself in; this was threatened, and was yet to come, and began at the time of the Reformation, signified by the next church state; and, ever since, the whore of Rome has been visibly sickening and decaying. The Alexandrian copy reads, "into a prison":

and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation:
the kings of the earth, and their subjects, who have joined in the idolatries and corruptions of the Romish church, ( Revelation 17:2 ) ( 18:3 ) , which may be understood either of that distress and uneasiness the Reformation in some countries gave them; or those outward troubles, wars, and desolations they have been since attended with, particularly the empire of Germany; which has been in great tribulation, formerly by the Turks, and of late by internal broils among themselves, and by the armies of other princes entering into it; or it may regard that eternal vengeance that will be recompensed to all such persons:

except they repent of their deeds;
their spiritual fornication or idolatry, and all the abominations the members of that apostate church are guilty of. There seems to be an allusion in this verse to Ahaziah and Joram, sons of Ahab and Jezebel, who followed their mother's idolatrous practices, and were cast upon a bed of sickness, ( 2 Kings 1:2 ) ( 8:29 ) .

Apocalipsis 2:22 In-Context

20 Sin embargo, tengo en tu contra que toleras a Jezabel, esa mujer que dice ser profetisa. Con su enseñanza engaña a mis siervos, pues los induce a cometer inmoralidades sexuales y a comer alimentos sacrificados a los ídolos.

21 Le he dado tiempo para que se arrepienta de su inmoralidad, pero no quiere hacerlo.

22 Por eso la voy a postrar en un lecho de dolor, y a los que cometen adulterio con ella los haré sufrir terriblemente, a menos que se arrepientan de lo que aprendieron de ella.

23 A los hijos de esa mujer los heriré de muerte. Así sabrán todas las iglesias que yo soy el que escudriña la mente y el corazón; y a cada uno de ustedes lo trataré de acuerdo con sus obras.

24 Ahora, al resto de los que están en Tiatira, es decir, a ustedes que no siguen esa enseñanza ni han aprendido los mal llamados “profundos secretos de Satanás”, les digo que ya no les impondré ninguna otra carga.
