Apocalipsis 2:16

16 Arrepiéntete de tu pecado, o de lo contrario, vendré a ti de repente y pelearé contra ellos con la espada de mi boca.

Apocalipsis 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 2:16

Repent
This is said to those who were truly godly in those times, but still retained their communion with these corrupt men, and had not, as yet, separated from then; nor had they protested against these evil doctrines and practices, at least but very coldly, and had too much connived at them; and therefore are called upon to repent of their lukewarmness, negligence, and sinful compliances:

or else I will come unto thee quickly:
in a providential way, to rebuke and chastise for such remissness, indifference, and evil communication:

and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth;
of this sword, (See Gill on Revelation 1:16). And it is observable, that Christ does not say, "I will fight against thee"; the true members of his mystical body, though lax and supine, for Christ does not fight against his people, but for them; but he says, "and will fight against them"; the Balaamites and Nicolaitans, for their idolatry and uncleanness.

Apocalipsis 2:16 In-Context

14 »Pero tengo unas cuantas quejas en tu contra. Toleras a algunos de entre ustedes que mantienen la enseñanza de Balaam, quien le enseñó a Balac cómo hacer tropezar al pueblo de Israel. Les enseñó a pecar, incitándolos a comer alimentos ofrecidos a ídolos y a cometer pecado sexual.

15 De modo parecido, entre ustedes hay algunos nicolaítas que siguen esa misma enseñanza.

16 Arrepiéntete de tu pecado, o de lo contrario, vendré a ti de repente y pelearé contra ellos con la espada de mi boca.

17 »Todo el que tenga oídos para oír debe escuchar al Espíritu y entender lo que él dice a las iglesias. A todos los que salgan vencedores, les daré del maná que ha sido escondido en el cielo. Y le daré a cada uno una piedra blanca, y en la piedra estará grabado un nombre nuevo que nadie comprende aparte de aquel que lo recibe.
