Revelation 2:23
_ _ her children — (Isaiah 57:3; Ezekiel 23:45, Ezekiel 23:47). Her proper adherents; not those who suffer her, but those who are begotten of her. A distinct class from the last in Revelation 2:22 (compare Note, see on Revelation 2:22), whose sin was less direct, being that only of connivance.
_ _ kill ... with death — Compare the disaster that overtook the literal Jezebel’s votaries of Baal, and Ahab’s sons, 1 Kings 18:40; 2 Kings 10:6, 2 Kings 10:7, 2 Kings 10:24, 2 Kings 10:25. Kill with death is a Hebraism for slay with most sure and awful death; so “dying thou shalt die” (Genesis 2:17). Not “die the common death of men” (Numbers 16:29).
_ _ all the churches shall know — implying that these addresses are designed for the catholic Church of all ages and places. So palpably shall God’s hand be seen in the judgment on Thyatira, that the whole Church shall recognize it as God’s doing.
_ _ I am he — the “I” is strongly emphatical: “that it is I am He who,” etc.
_ _ searcheth ... hearts — God’s peculiar attribute is given to Christ. The “reins” are the seat of the desires; the “heart,” that of the thoughts. The Greek for “searcheth” expresses an accurate following up of all tracks and windings.
_ _ unto every one of you — literally, “unto you, to each.”
_ _ according to your works — to be judged not according to the mere act as it appears to man, but with reference to the motive, faith and love being the only motives which God recognizes as sound. |
Revelation 2:23
And I will kill her children — Those which she hath borne in adultery, and them whom she hath seduced. With death — This expression denotes death by the plague, or by some manifest stroke of God's hand. Probably the remarkable vengeance taken on her children was the token of the certainty of all the rest. And all the churches — To which thou now writest. Shall know that I search the reins — The desires. And hearts — Thoughts. |
- with death:
Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
