2:4 Accusation
Accusation
Revelation 2:4: “Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”.
These words are those of a legal proceeding. The court is being informed of the accusation against the Church at Ephesus. The Church had “fallen” from the perfect or idealized place it should have in the heavenlies.
