10. Because you were shomer over my dvar of savlanut (patient endurance), I will also be shomer over you, guarding you from the sha'at hanisayon (hour of trial) about to come upon the Olam Hazeh, to try all the ones of the inhabited world, all the ones dwelling upon the earth.
11. I am coming quickly; hold fast to what you have, that no one takes your atarah (diadem, crown).
12. The one who wins the nitzachon (victory) I will make an ammud (pillar) in the Beis Hamikdash of Elohai and never may he go out of it [TEHILLIM 23:6] and I will write upon him ha-Shem of Elohai and ha-Shem of the Ir Hakodesh of Elohai-- the Yerushalayim HaChadasha descending down out of Shomayim from Elohai --and ha-Shem HeChadash of me (my New Name). [YECHEZKEL 48:35]
13. The one having an ear, let him hear what the Ruach Hakodesh says to the Kehillot.
14. And to the malach of the Kehillah in Laodicea, write: These things says the Omein, the Ed HaNe'eman (the Faithful Witness) who is also HaEmes, the Reshit of the Bri'at Hashem [i.e., Hashem's eternal Chochmah, MISHLE 8:22; TEHILLIM 33:6; MISHLE 30:4],
15. I have da'as of your ma'asim, that you are neither kar (cold) nor kham (hot). Would that you were kar or kham!
16. But because you are posher (lukewarm) and neither kham nor kar, I am about to spew you out of my mouth.
17. Because you say, I am ashir (rich) and have become wealthy and in nothing am I nitzrach (needy), and you do not have da'as that you are the one wretched and pitiful and poor and blind and naked, [HOSHEA 12:8]
