But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Just hold onto what you already have until I get there.
Don't let go of the good things you've got, backup is coming.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is from the Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John while exiled on the island of Patmos, likely during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian in the late first century. It forms part of a letter addressed to the church in Thyatira, one of seven churches in Asia Minor, where Jesus praises their growth in faith and love but warns against tolerating false teachings from a prophetess called Jezebel. Jesus instructs this church to hold firmly to the true faith they already possess until His return, amidst the pressures of Roman persecution and pagan influences.
