Revelation Lesson 4
SECOND DAY:
Revelation 2:1-7
To the Church in Ephesus
2 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in
his right hand and walks among the seven golden
lampstands. 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and
your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate
wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to
be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 3 You
have persevered and have endured hardships for my
name, and have not grown weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love
you had at first. 5 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. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate
the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to
the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the
right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of
God.
Acts 17:11
11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character
than those in Thessalonica, for they received the
message with great eagerness and examined the
Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what Gods will ishis good,
pleasing and perfect will.
1 Corinthians 12:3
3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is
speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus be cursed,
and no one can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy
Spirit.
Galatians 6:4-6
4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can
take pride in themselves alone, without comparing
themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry
their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives
instruction in the word should share all good things with
their instructor.
2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use
have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of
God.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
Law?
37 Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This
is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second
is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. 40 All the Law
and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
1 John 2:5-6
5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made
complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
Revelation Lesson 4
Genesis 2:8-9
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in
Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The
Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the
groundtrees that were pleasing to the eye and good for
food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:15-17
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden
of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God
commanded the man, You are free to eat from any tree
in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you
will certainly die.
Genesis 3:1-24
The Fall
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild
animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman,
Did God really say, You must not eat from any tree in
the garden?
2 The woman said to the serpent, We may eat fruit from
the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, You must not
eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it, or you will die.
4 You will not certainly die, the serpent said to the
woman. 5 For God knows that when you eat from it your
eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing
good and evil.
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good
for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for
gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave
some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they
realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves
together and made coverings for themselves.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord
God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the
day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of
the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, Where
are you?
10 He answered, I heard you in the garden, and I was
afraid because I was naked; so I hid.
11 And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have
you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat
from?
12 The man said, The woman you put here with meshe
gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.
Page 2 of 4
13 Then
the Lord God said to the woman, What is this
you have done?
The woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you
have done this,
Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.
16 To the woman he said,
I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.
17 To Adam he said, Because you listened to your wife
and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you,
You must not eat from it,
Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.
20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become
the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his
wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, The
man has now become like one of us, knowing good and
evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and
take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.
23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of
Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side
of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword
flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Matthew 6:19-20
Treasures in Heaven
19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves
break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
2 Corinthians 8:9
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so
that you through his poverty might become rich.
Matthew 10:28-33
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot
kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy
both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold
for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground
outside your Fathers care. 30 And even the very hairs of
your head are all numbered. 31 So dont be afraid; you are
worth more than many sparrows.
32 Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also
acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever
disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father
in heaven.

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. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate
the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
