Apocalipse 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.

Apocalipse 2:16 In-Context

14 “No entanto, tenho contra vocĂȘ algumas coisas: vocĂȘ tem aĂ­ pessoas que se apegam aos ensinos de BalaĂŁo, que ensinou Balaque a armar ciladas contra os israelitas, induzindo-os a comer alimentos sacrificados a Ă­dolos e a praticar imoralidade sexual.
15 De igual modo vocĂȘ tem tambĂ©m os que se apegam aos ensinos dos nicolaĂ­tas.
16 Portanto, arrependa-se! Se nĂŁo, virei em breve atĂ© vocĂȘ e lutarei contra eles com a espada da minha boca.
17 “Aquele que tem ouvidos ouça o que o EspĂ­rito diz Ă s igrejas. Ao vencedor darei do manĂĄ escondido. TambĂ©m lhe darei uma pedra branca com um novo nome nela inscrito, conhecido apenas por aquele que o recebe.
18 “Ao anjo da igreja em Tiatira, escreva:“Estas sĂŁo as palavras do Filho de Deus, cujos olhos sĂŁo como chama de fogo e os pĂ©s como bronze reluzente.
