Bible Matrix ⑦: Historical & Scientific Views on Daniel and Revelation
Part 2. Revelation
Revelation 2:12~17 - To the Church in Pergamum, Faith/Martyrdom, but the Church in Crisis of Idolatry
Revelation 2:12 - These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword
☞ <Revelation> 2:12 - "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. (NIV); And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; (KJV); “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Pergamum. This is the message from the one with the sharp two-edged sword: (NLT)
○ As I mentioned in detail in <Bible Matrix ⑦_137>, which explained <Revelation> 1:16, “the sharp double-edged sword” that Jesus has is the weapon of the heavenly state-of-the-art twin swords to be used in war or punishment. It means to strike down and destroy the evil as the antichrists with the lightsaber like a double-edged laser weapon.
○ Emphasizing this at the beginning of the letter (or the message) means that something serious and evil deeds are happening in the church in Pergamum. It is that there are those in the church in Pergamum who keep the teaching of Balaam and Nicolaitans who are against Jesus Christ.
○ In order to save the church in Pergamum from crisis, that is, from the evil, Jesus Christ sends the message as "the one who has the sharp, two-edged sword, that is, the weapon of punishment." That message is <Revelation> 2:16.
☞ <Revelation> 2:16 - Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(NIV); Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(KJV); Repent of your sin, or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(New Living Translation)
