What is commanded to be written to the angels, that is, the ministers of the churches of Ephesus,8. Smyrna, 12. Pergamos, 18. Thyatira, and what is commended and lacking in them. He who has an ear, let him hear This phrase is a call to attention and discernment, urging the listener to be spiritually receptive. The Greek word for "ear" is "ous," which implies not just the physical organ but the capacity to understand and perceive spiritual truths. This echoes Jesus' frequent use of similar phrases in the Gospels, emphasizing the importance of being open to divine revelation. Historically, this call to listen is reminiscent of the Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4, where Israel is commanded to "hear" and obey God's commandments. It underscores the necessity of active listening in the life of a believer. what the Spirit says to the churches The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death The second death.--This phrase is a new one in Bible language. It is said that Jews were familiar with it through its use in the Chaldee Paraphrase. It clearly points to a death which is other than that of the body; it stands in contrast with the crown of life. The expressions of Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8, exclude the idea that a cessation of conscious existence is intended. The life of the spirit is the knowledge of God (John 17:3); the death of the spirit, or the second death, is the decay or paralysis of the powers by which such a knowledge was possible, and the experience of the awfulness of a life which is "without God." Verse 11. - He that hath an ear (see on ver. 7). Shall not be hurt of the second death; more literally, shall in no wise be injured at the hands of the second death. The negative is the strongest form; the injury seems to be of the nature of a wrong, and the second death is regarded as the source of the wrong (οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ). In Revelation 20:6 "the second death" is almost personified, as here: "Over these the second death has no authority." The phrase is peculiar to this book (see Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8, where it is defined to be "the lake of fire"). The corresponding phrase, "the first death," does not occur. The one is the death of the body, to which the faithful Smyrnaeans must submit; the other is the death of the soul, from which the crown of life secures them: though they die, yet shall they live, and shall in no wise die, forever (John 11:25, 26). This second death, or death of the soul, is absolute exclusion from God, who is the Source of eternal life. The expression, "the second death," seems to be borrowed from Jewish theological phraseology.
