As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent

(Revelation 3:21).

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches
(Revelation 3:22).

Are there any Bible scriptures that might help us understand these verses here in Revelation? In my opinion I think so-


Revelation 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.


As Many as I Love

Christ's rebuke came from His heart of love for them.

God's Mercy Associated with Mankind's Repentance

What is mercy? The dictionary reveals mercy as "a blessing resulting from divine favor- also, compassion shown to an offender or victim(s) of misfortune." This scripture here in Revelation reveals God's mercy- "...as many as I love, I rebuke and correct...(Revelation 3:19). In many other scriptures of Revelation, repentance is associated with judgment as an alternative. But not in this scripture. Here, God chooses to show mercy to His Overcomers. God chooses to rebuke and correct His Overcomers rather than take action in a more severe way. In other words God loves each of His Overcomers and when one repents of sin, many times He shows mercy rather than punishment.

God appears to reveal this teaching in several scrolls of the Bible. Here are only a few:
Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills...(Romans 9:18).

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God
(Galatians 6:15-16).

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us...
(Ephesians 2:4).


Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door (of his heart), I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.


The Door (of Your Heart)
A Door (to God's Salvation)

God appears to reveal this truth in several scrolls of Revelation:

It is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Five-
I AM He who searches the minds and hearts...
(Revelation 2:23).

and it is revealed here in Revelation Scroll Number Eight-
See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me
(Revelation 3:20).

Are there other scrolls in the bible that appear to reveal this? Yes. Here are a few:

...and you yourselves be like men who wait for their Master, when He will return from the wedding, that when He comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the Master, when He comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that He will gird Himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them
(Luke 12:36-37).

For the Son of Man is come (to your heart's door) to seek and to save the lost
(Luke 19:10).

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door
(James 5:9).

For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not a cutting of the body but a change of heart produced by God's Spirit. Whoever has that kind of change seeks praise from God, not from people
(Romans 2:28-29).

...clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart
(2 Corinthians 3:3).

...we love Him, because He first loved us
(1 John 4:19).

If opportunity does not knock, rely on God to open a door

I will...dine with him, and he with Me

The Lord promises His Overcomers a banquet in Heaven. Eating is symbolic of fellowship. God reveals the matter of eating with Him in several scrolls of Revelation:

It is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Two-
...to him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, that is in the middle of the Paradise of God
(Revelation 2:7).

It is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Four-
...to him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat...
(Revelation 2:17).

and it is revealed here in Revelation Scroll Number Eight-
...if anyone...opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me
(Revelation 3:20).

Are there other scrolls in the bible that appear to reveal this? Yes. Here are a few:

And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down (to eat) with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven
(Matthew 8:11).

Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God
(Mark 14:25).

And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel
(Luke 22:29-30).

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
