The Message for the Star of Ephesus
This message is for the emissary, the apostolic priest, of the gathering called together at Ephesus*. Deliver this message to that star of Ephesus, whom I hold in my right hand together with the others, to light the golden menorahs* among which I walk. Receive this message and use it to strengthen the light of your menorah.
This is the word of fire and light for your menorah. I am aware of what you have accomplished and the traumas you have suffered and how you have endured while suffering a long time. You have never compromised with evil and have continued testing the spirits of all who claim to have authority, for example, those who call themselves apostles, and you have exposed those who were liars, who, in fact, only pretended to have authority.
I do not criticize your patience nor take away from the greatness of your efforts to bring honour to my name, yet you have been doing all of this without love. At the beginning you were filled with love. Remember the way you were before and recover what you have lost.
Let all you accomplish be motivated only by love, just as you did in the beginning. If you continue to be motivated in what you do in my name by motivations other than love, I will take away the inspiration from your testimony. Your menorah will be removed from you. I will no longer call you as my witness.
Yet, while you are no longer motivated by love, you are motivated by a holy hatred of evil. As I said, you hate the works of those who deceitfully attempt to assert authority over the people. This was the way of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, and such are the Nicolaitans. And I also hate their works.
You who hear this message from the Spirit know who you are. Listen carefully to what the Spirit says to each of the assemblies. Not everyone who counts themselves a member of an assembly, or does works in my name, hears and believes what the Spirit says. To the one who overcomes their unbelief and obeys what the Spirit says I will grant permission to enter the Garden of God and eat from the Tree of Life.

*at Ephesus - the ἐκκλησίας , the assemblies, are the gathering together in certain places, here in seven places, of the exiled people of Israel, whether from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin or from the tribes lost with Ephraim, or of any goyim , (gentiles), called out from the nations to be gathered in together with the children of Israel through the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah, which was preached by Peter and by Paul and by all the apostles.
*menorahs - the λυχνιῶν, the menorahs, are the bearers of the light of the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah. There is a star, an emissary, called to spark, to light and tend the light of each of the menorahs, that is to say, the testimony of each of the assemblies.
