The seven churches of Asia Revelation 2 - 3

Ephesus The Lord who rules the churches addresses the angel (the current pastor) of the church in Ephesus (1) This church is commended for its faithfulness and endurance and commitment to the truth (2-3) This church is condemned for the loss of its first love — “busy and faithful, but cold in heart” (4) This church is counseled to repent and do the first deeds, or else lose its very existence (5) One final concession – this church opposes the Nicolaitans [a group we know nothing about] (6) The promise to the overcomer: eating of the tree of life (7)

Smyrna The Lord who suffered addresses the pastor of the suffering church (8) This church is commended for their endurance of suffering (9) There is no condemnation. This church is counseled not to fear or lose heart, their tribulation is but for ‘ten days’ [i.e. a short time] (10) The promise to the overcomer: he shall NOT NOT be hurt by the second death (11)

Pergamum The Lord whose word is sharp addresses the pastor of Pergamum (12) This church is commended for its faithfulness under persecution in a violent place, the seat of Satan [Pergamum noted for emperor worship, among other things] (13) This church is condemned for its toleration of false teachers, the Balaam-teachers and the Nicolaitans (14-15) This church is counseled to repent or else face war with Christ (16) The promise to the overcomer: the hidden manna (that sustenance the world does not know), the white stone of acquittal, and the new name of redemption (17)

Thyatira The Lord who is a consuming fire addresses the pastor of Thyatira (18) This church is commended for its zeal in good works and perseverance, deeds that were increasing (19) This church is condemned for tolerating ‘the woman Jezebel’ – a false teacher who compromises many (20-23) This church is counseled to hold fast to what they have (not compromising with the error around them) (24-25) The promise to the overcomer: the right to reign with Christ in his kingdom (26-29)
