Rev. 3:2 - Evaluation
“I have not found your works perfect”The idea seems to involve completing what they should
have done.
Intention is no substitute for action.

Rev. 3:3 – Judgment
“Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come
upon you.”
Refusal to give this proper attention will result in discipline and consequences.

Rev. 3:3 – Judgment
The language is again very eschatological, meaning…
It reminds us of language that is used when talking about future, prophetic judgments.
“Thief”Mt. 24:43; Lk. 12:39; 1 Thess. 5:2, 4; 2 Pet. 3:10;

and bad.

Rev. 3:5 - Reward
These believers were living lives that were phony.
They were living phony lives for public consumption, hoping they would fool people into thinking they were
spiritual when they were not.
![Page 22: Biblical Time Line Ascension Rapture Return Eternal](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ba550346895dd190c0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Now, the challenge was to live genuine and not give in to compromise.
If they would go public with Jesus and live genuine lives, He would go public with them.
