Map of Seven Assemblies

2:1 To the messenger of the Assembly of Ephesos write:

The One who holds the Shivat haKochavim in His Yad Yamin, the One who walks among the sheva menorot hazahav, says this:

These things says He who holds the shivat hakochavim in His yad yamin, who walks in the midst of the shivat zahaven Menorot:

2:2  I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and that you cannot bear those which are evil: And you have tested  those who say they are shlichim and are not, and have found them liars:

2:3  And have borne, and have patience, and for My Name's sake have laboured, and have not fainted.

2:4  Nevertheless I have this against you, because you have left your ahavah haRishonah (protos Agape).

2:5  Remember  therefore from whence you are fallen, and make teshuvah, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your Menorah out of his place, except you make teshuvah.

2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nikolaites, which I also hate.

2:7  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Assemblies:

To him that overcomes (nitzachon) I will give to eat from the Tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Elohim (אלהים).

 Gen 2:9, Gen 3:22, Gen 3:24 Footnotes: This word (and its noun) is used 17 times in the Book of Revelation. The name Yisra’ěl means to overcome with Ěl. Lit. garden. See Rev 22:2 and Rev 22:14.

2:8   ואל־מלאך קהל זמירנא כתב כה אמר הראשון והאחרון אשר־מת ויחי׃

Vel-malak k'hal Zmiyrna ktov koh amar: harishon vehaacharon asher-met vayechai.

To the messenger of the Assembly in Smymaios write:

'These things says:

The First and the Last, who was dead, and has come to life:

2:9  I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Yehudim (Benai Brit), and are not, but [are] the synagogue of satan.

2:10 אל־תירא מפני־אשר עליך לסבל הנה עתיד המלשין לתת מכם במשמר למען תנסו והייתם בצרה עשרת ימים היה נאמן עד־המות ונתתי לך עטרת החיים׃

Al-tira mipnei-asher aleiak lisbol hinei atid hamalshin latet mikem bamishmar  lemaan tenusu vihiitem batzarah aseret yamim hih neeman ad-hamavet  venatati lekh ateret hachaiim.

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil  is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

2:11 מי אשר־אזן לו ישמע את אשר הרוח אמר לקהלות המנצח לא ינזק במות השני׃

Mi asher-ozen lo yishma et asher haRuach omer lakehilot hamnatzeakh lo yinazek bamavet hasheni.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Assemblies; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.

2:12 To the messenger of the Assembly in Pergamos write;

The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: 

2:13  "I know your works, and where you dwell, where satan's throne is. And you hold fast κρατέω to My Name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas Ἀντίπας was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where satan dwells.

2:14  But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the teaching of Bilam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the Benai Yisrael, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

2:15 So have you also them that hold the teaching of the Nikolaites, which thing I HATE (detest).

2:16  Make Teshuvah (Repent, metamoeo); or else I will come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My Mouth.

2:17  He that has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Assemblies; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives [it].

2:18 To the messenger of the Assembly in Thuateira write;

The Son of Elohim (אלהים), who has his eyes like to a flame of fire, and His feet [are] like fine brass;

2:19  I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and HaAcharon (The Last) [to be] more than the first.

2:20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Izevel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

2:21  And I gave her space to make teshuvah of her fornication; and she make no teshuvah.

2:22  Hinnei, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into tzarah gedolah (Great Tribulation, Mt. 24:21), except they make teshuvah of their deeds.

2:23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the Assemblies shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

2:24  But to you I say, and to the rest in Thuateira, as many as have not this teaching, and which have not known the depths of satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

2:25  But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

2:26  And he that overcomes, and keeps My works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

2:27  And He shall rule them with a shevet of barzel (scepter of Iron); as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father.

2:28  And I will give him the morning star .

2:29  He that has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Assemblies.

Historical fact about Assemblies

Jezebel / Iezabel= Chaste

1) wife of Ahab, an impious and cruel queen who protected idolatry and persecuted the prophets

2) the symbolic name of a woman who pretended to be a prophetess, and who, addicted to antinomianism, claimed Believer in Yeshua liberty of eating things sacrificed to idols

The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism. Antinomianism (from the Greek ἀντί, "against" + νόμος, "law"), or lawlessness (in the Greek Bible: ἀνομία,

Thayer Definition:

Nicolaitans = “destruction of people”

[1] which is "unlawful"), in theology, is the idea that members of a particular religious group are under no obligation to obey the laws of ethics or morality as presented by religious authorities.

[2] Antinomianism is the polar opposite of legalism, the notion that obedience to a code of religious law is necessary for salvation.

Nicolas = "victor of the people"  Nikovlaoß Nikolaos was a proselyte of Antioch and one of the seven deacons of the assembly at Yerushalayim
