Revelation 3 1. 5 1. Lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, spit vs. Revelation 3 1. 5 1. NIVI know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the otherSo, because you are lukewarmneither hot nor coldI am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, I am rich I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing. But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I was always slightly puzzled by what these verses mean but never really looked into it until I read about it in Craig Keeners The NIV Application Commentary Revelation. Regarding verse 1. Bible than I, Jesus is referring to the water temperature and quality or lack thereof in Laodicea, the church He is addressing here. Keener writes Laodicea lacked its own water supply, having no direct access to the cold water of the mountains or the hot water of the nearby springs in Hierapolis to the north. In contrast to its claims to self sufficiency Rev. More important, this water had grown lukewarm by the time of its arrival. Other sources speak more about how displeasing this water was. NLT Study Bible neither hot nor cold The hot springs in Hierapolis were famous for their healing qualities. Colosse was equally famous for its cold, refreshing springs. In contrast, the water available in Laodicea was smelly and lukewarm. Such water is distasteful Jesus was saying that the churchs indecisive commitment to him was revolting.

Or that He would rather we be willfully cold towards Him as a way of showing some sort of truthful integrity if we arent very thrilled about how we feel about God at the moment. What Jesus is saying is much more shocking. As Keener puts it,In todays English, he is telling the self satisfied church in Laodicea I want water that will refresh me, but you remind me instead of the water you always complain about. You make me want to puke. The Laodiceans, who prided themselves on their wealth and self sufficiency Rev. Jesus used this to illustrate their spiritual self sufficiency and pride, and how He felt about it. I was wondering if puke was a little overboard. Thayer to vomit, vomit forth, throw up, i.
