Revelation 2:12-25

12To the angel of Messiah’s community in Pergamum write: “Thus says the One who has the sharp two-edged sword:

13I know where you live—where satan’s throne is. Yet you continue to hold firm to My name, and you did not deny your faith in Me even in the days of Antipas, My faithful witness, who was killed among you, where satan resides.

14“But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who was teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before Bnei-Yisrael, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.

15Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

16Repent then! If not, I will come to you soon and make war against them with the sword of My mouth.

17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach is saying to Messiah’s communities. To the one who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna , and I will give him a white stone—and written on the stone a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.”

18To the angel of Messiah’s community in Thyatira write: “Thus says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire and feet like polished bronze:

19I know your deeds and your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your last deeds are greater than the first.

20“But this I have against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess—yet she is teaching and deceiving My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

21I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her immorality.

22Behold, I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation—unless they repent of her doings.

23I will also strike her children with a deadly disease. Then all of Messiah’s communities will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your deeds.

24“But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to this teaching and have not learned the so-called ‘deep things’ of satan—I place on you no other burden.

25Only hold firm to what you have until I come.
