Revelation 2:4-6 Part 2 of 2

 "And behold, I am coming quickly. 
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."     
Revelation 22:7  NASB

"Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."  

Repent and do the things you did at first 
Revelation 2:16  "Repent therefore! Otherwise I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth." 
Revelation 2:22  "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways."
Revelation 3:3  "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you."
Revelation 3:19  "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent." 

If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place 
Revelation 1:20  "The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the churches."

You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate 
Revelation 2:15  "Likewise you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans." (a heretical sect within the church that taught that spiritual liberty gave them freedom to practice idolatry and immorality along with Christian doctrines of the church)
