Revelation 2:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen; that is, in what degree thy love was formerly, and compare it with what it is now. And repent; repentance in man, signifieth both the change of the heart and of the actions. And do the first works; recover thy former warmth of love, and zeal for good works. Or else I will come unto thee quickly; if thou do not, I that know thee, and walk in the midst of thee, will show myself an enemy to thee. And will remove thy candlestick out of his place; and unchurch thee, and say unto thee, Lo-ammi, You are not my people. Which threatening is long since made good; for where is now the famous church of Ephesus?

Revelation 2:5

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
