“3. What John saw around the throne: the twenty-four elders (4)” (Revelation 4:4)
“The ancient Greek word translated Revelation is apokalupsis (apocalypse). The word simply means ‘a revealing, an unveiling.’ The Book of Revelation is the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the sense that it belongs to Him, He is the one doing the revealing. It is also Jesus’ Revelation in the sense that He is the object revealed; Jesus is the person revealed by the book.” (Revelation 1:1–2)
“Remember therefore from where you have fallen: The first step in restoration for the Ephesian church is for them to remember. They need to remember from where you have fallen. This means remembering where they used to be in their love for the Lord and for one another.” (Revelation 2:5–6)
“You have left your first love: Despite all the good in the Ephesian church, there is something seriously wrong. They have left—not lost—their first love. They once had a love that they don’t have anymore. This can be described as ‘a definite and sad departure.’” (Revelation 2:4)
“What Jesus wants the church at Ephesus to do (5–6)” (Revelation 2:5–6)
