Gen Z: Revelation 2
1Yo, write to the angel of the Ephesus crew; the one holding the seven stars in his right hand, vibing in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks.
2I see your hustle, your grind, and your patience, and how you can’t deal with the evil peeps; you’ve called out the fake apostles and found them sus.
3You’ve held it down, stayed patient, and for my name’s sake, you’ve worked hard and didn’t give up, no cap.
4But for real, I got a bone to pick with you; you kinda ghosted your first love.
5So remember where you fell off, repent, and get back to your first vibes; or I’m coming in hot to take your candlestick away, unless you switch it up.
6But you got this: you can’t stand the deeds of the Nicolaitans, and I’m with you on that, it’s savage.
7If you got ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches; to the ones who make it through, I’ll hook you up with some tree of life snacks in paradise.
8And write to the angel of the Smyrna squad; the one who was dead but is now alive says this.
9I see your hustle, your struggles, and your low-key poverty (but you’re actually rich), and I know the haters claiming to be Jews, but they’re just the Satan squad.
10Don’t sweat what you’re about to face: the devil’s gonna throw some of you in jail for a test; you’ll have some rough days for ten days, but stay loyal till the end, and I’ll give you a life crown, periodt.
11If you got ears, listen up to what the Spirit's saying to the churches; if you vibe right, you won’t feel the second death, no cap.
12Yo, write to the angel of the church in Pergamos; this is what the one with the sharp two-edged sword is saying.
13I see what you’re doing and where you chill, even where Satan's throne is; you’re holding onto my name and not denying the faith, even when Antipas was a straight-up martyr, fr.
14But I got some beef with you, 'cause you got peeps who follow Balaam's vibes, teaching to trip up the kids of Israel, eating food offered to idols and getting sus.
15You also got those who vibe with the Nicolaitans, and that’s just savage.
16Repent, or I’m pulling up quick and gonna battle them with my words, periodt.
17If you got ears, hear what the Spirit's saying to the churches; to the one who vibes right, I’ll hook you up with hidden manna and a white stone, with a new name on it that only you will know.
18And to the angel of the church in Thyatira, write this; the Son of God, whose eyes are lit like fire and feet are like dope brass, is saying this.
19I see your works, your love, your service, your faith, your patience, and how you pop off more now than before.
20But I got some issues with you, 'cause you let that woman Jezebel, calling herself a prophetess, teach and lead my servants to get sus and eat food offered to idols.
21I gave her a chance to bounce back from her sus actions, but she just ignored it, no cap.
22Yo, I'm about to throw her into a rough spot, and anyone vibing with her is gonna face some serious drama unless they change their ways.
23I’m gonna take out her crew for real, and all the churches will know I’m the one who knows what’s up in their hearts: I’ll reward each of you based on what you do.
24But listen up, to you and the rest in Thyatira who aren’t on this sus vibe and don’t know the dark side; I won’t lay any extra burdens on you.
25Just hold on to what you’ve got until I pull up.
26Whoever crushes it and keeps my grind till the end, I’ll give them mad power over the nations.
27They’ll rule with a strong hand; like pottery that gets smashed, that’s how it’s gonna be, just like I got from my Father.
28And I’ll hook them up with the morning star.
29If you’re listening, pay attention to what the Spirit is saying to the churches, for real.
