Revelation 2:16 Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Repent, that is to say, let the angel repent, and the church repent, and these ministers and members especially, who are guilty of those doctrines which I hate, repent and sorrow after a godly manner. Or else I will come unto thee quickly, to wit, in a way of visitation and correction. And will fight against them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, and the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, that is to say, erroneous, false, and damnable doctrines, such teachers and such doctrines, as the apostles prophetically foretold and testified against. \ With the sword of my mouth See KNOLLYS: Revelation 2:12: Christ fights against a church and people "with the sword of his mouth," first, when he sends some Boanerges with awakening, thundering word of God, who shall so preach and declare his righteous judgments unto them, that shall sew and cut as a sharp sword. \ Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth. Secondly, when he, by the hand of his divine judgments upon them for their sins and impenitency; \ And I my self will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
