Bible Question: Which other verses of the bible that talk about this passage? |
Bible Answer: "Behold, I stand at the (1) door and knock; (2) if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will (3) dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20 '1. "Door" and "knock" are both figures of speech. Neither the door nor the knock is literal. Rather, the Lord is seeking fellowship. ... '2. "If." Maybe the person inside the house will hear and maybe he will not hear. The issue is not recognition of the voice, but hearing the voice. '3. "Dine with him, and he with Me." This verse is an extended metaphor. Reciprocal dining indicates fellowship. In context, this is the point of God’s discipline—fellowship. The metaphor indicates the measures the Lord will take to secure the fellowship of His people. He knocks, but no answer. He calls! Will the believer respond?' ____________________ www.revelationcommentary.org/ 03_chapter.html |
