Chazayun (Revelation) — 2
The Message to the Assembly in Ephesus
1 “Write this letter to the Malak of the Qadash Assembly in Ephesus. This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lampstands:
2 “I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient and endurance. I know you do not tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are Shaliachs but are not. You have discovered they are liars.
3 You have patiently suffered for me without quitting.
4 “But I have this complaint against you. You do not love Me or each other as you did at first!
5 Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to Me and do the works you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the Qadash Assemblies.
6 But this is in your favor: You hate the evil deeds of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
7 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Ruach and understand what He is saying to the Qadash Assemblies. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
The Message to the Assembly in Smyrna
8 “Write this letter to the Malak of the Qadash Assembly in Smyrna. This is the message from the one who is the First and the Last, who was dead but is now alive:
9 “I know about your suffering and your poverty, but you are rich! I know the blasphemy of those opposing you. They say they are Yahudym, but they are not, because their congregation belongs to ha'shatan.
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer, ha'shatan will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain in Amunah even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.
11 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Ruach and understand what He is saying to the Qadash Assemblies. Whoever is victorious will not be harmed by the second death.
The Message to the assembly in Pergamum
12 “Write this letter to the Malak of the Qadash Assembly in Pergamum. This is the message from the One with the sharp two-edged sword:
13 “I know that you live in the city where ha'shatan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to Me. You refused to deny Me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you there in this city of ha'shatan.
14 “But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Yashar'AL. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin.
15 In a similar way, you have some Nicolaitans among you who follow the same teaching.
16 Repent of your sin, or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Ruach and understand what He is saying to the Qadash Assemblies. To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in Shamaym. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it.
The Message to the Assembly in Thyatira
18 “Write this letter to the Malak of the Qadash Assembly in Thyatira. This is the message from the Son of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, whose eyes are like flames of fire, whose feet are like polished bronze:
19 “I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your Amunah, your service, and your patient endurance. And I can see your constant improvement in all these things.
20 “But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman, that Yazabal who calls herself a Nabym, to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality.
22 “Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds.
23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the Qadash Assemblies will know that I Am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.
24 “But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of ha'shatan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you
25 except that you hold tightly to what you have until I come.
26 To all who are victorious, who obey Me to the very end, to them I will give authority over all the nations.
27 They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.
28 They will have the same authority I received from My ABBA, and I will also give them the morning star!
29 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Ruach and understand what He is saying to the Qadash Assemblies.
