KEY FINDING: ekklesia appears 20x in Rev 1-3 and then DISAPPEARS from the text entirely until Rev 22:16 (the epilogue). The word is absent from chapters 4-21.

G3340 — μετανοέω (metanoeo) — repent¶

Transliteration: metanoeo | Pronunciation: met-an-o-eh | POS: verb | BLB Count: 34 Definition: to think differently or afterwards; to reconsider

Revelation Usage: | Ref | Translation | Context | |-----|------------|---------| | Rev 2:5 (x2) | repent | "repent, and do the first works...except thou repent" | | Rev 2:16 | Repent | "Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly" | | Rev 2:21 (x2) | repent / repented | "I gave her space to repent...and she repented not" | | Rev 3:3 | repent | "hold fast, and repent" | | Rev 3:19 | repent | "be zealous therefore, and repent" | | Rev 9:20 | repented | "repented not of the works of their hands" | | Rev 16:9 | repented | "repented not to give him glory" | | Rev 16:11 | repented | "repented not of their deeds" |

KEY FINDING: Five repentance calls to five churches (Ephesus 2:5, Pergamos 2:16, Thyatira 2:21, Sardis 3:3, Laodicea 3:19). Smyrna and Philadelphia receive NO call to repent. Later in Revelation (9:20; 16:9,11), three times people REFUSE to repent — a tragic contrast.

G4151 — πνεῦμα (pneuma) — spirit¶

Transliteration: pneuma | Pronunciation: pnyoo | POS: neuter noun | BLB Count: 385 Definition: a current of air, breath; by analogy, a spirit

Transliteration: stephanos | Pronunciation: stef | POS: masculine noun | BLB Count: 18 Definition: a chaplet (as a badge of royalty, a prize in the public games or a symbol of honor); a wreath

Revelation Usage: | Ref | Translation | Context | |-----|------------|---------| | Rev 2:10 | crown | "I will give thee a crown of life" | | Rev 3:11 | crown | "hold fast...that no man take thy crown" | | Rev 4:4 | crowns | "on their heads crowns of gold" (24 elders) | | Rev 4:10 | crowns | "cast their crowns before the throne" | | Rev 6:2 | crown | "a crown was given unto him" (first seal rider) | | Rev 9:7 | crowns | "on their heads were as it were crowns" (locusts) | | Rev 12:1 | crown | "upon her head a crown of twelve stars" (woman) | | Rev 14:14 | crown | "on his head a golden crown" (one like Son of man) |

Other NT Usage: - Mat 27:29; Mrk 15:17; Jhn 19:2,5 — crown of thorns - 1Co 9:25 — "incorruptible crown" - Php 4:1; 1Th 2:19 — "crown of rejoicing" - 2Ti 4:8 — "crown of righteousness" - Jas 1:12 — "crown of life" (cf. Rev 2:10) - 1Pe 5:4 — "crown of glory"

KEY FINDING: stephanos (victor's crown) vs. diadema (royal crown). The churches receive stephanos — the crown earned through struggle. Same crown given to first seal rider (6:2). NOT diadema, which belongs to Christ as King (Rev 19:12).

NOTE: Rev 2:25 and 3:3 actually use heko (G2240), not erchomai. Rev 3:11 uses erchomai. The shift from disciplinary erchomai (2:5, 2:16) to eschatological erchomai/heko (3:3, 3:11) marks the transition from early to later churches.
