Commentary on Revelation 2:21

Theological / Devotional

Space. The offer of forgiveness was extended to the unrepentant prophetess for some considerable time.

Repented not. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 10) the reading “is not willing to repent,” meaning that she refuses to do so. Here was no case of unenlightened, nor even of willful ignorance, but of insistent and defiant rebellion.
