Contextual Overview
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thya- ti''ra write: These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like unto a flame of fire, and whose feet are like fine brass from Lebanon; 19 I know your works, and love and faith, and service, and also your patience; and your last works are to be more abundant than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you allowed that woman of yours Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent, but she did not repent from her fornication. 22 Behold I will cast her into a sick bed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto everyone of you according to your works. 24 But I say unto you, the rest of you in Thy-a-ti''ra, those of you who do not have this doctrine, and those who have not known, as they say, the depths of Satan, that I will not put upon you another burden. 25 But hold fast to that which you already have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him I will give authority over the nations: 27 And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron; like the vessels of the potter, they shall be shattered: even as I was disciplined by my Father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But that which ye have [already],.... Which was something good, even the faithful word, the form of sound words, the mystery and doctrine of faith; this they had received from Christ and his apostles; they had it in their hearts, and a comfortable experience of the truth and power of it, and had made a profession of it, which they now held, and are here exhorted to hold fast:
hold fast till I come; meaning the coming of Christ, either at the Reformation by Luther, Calvin, and others, which began at the close of this church state, when the hands and hearts of those professors would be more strengthened, which seems to be the first sense of the words; or to judge Jezebel, destroy antichrist, which will be by the brightness of his coming; till which time the doctrine of the Gospel is to be held fast: and such an exhortation will be always necessary, since, till then, there will be always more or less an opposition to it, and attempts made to wrest it out of the hands of its professors, to cause them to hesitate about it, and to intimidate them in the profession of it, by loading them with reproaches, calumnies, and persecution.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But that which ye have ... - All that there is of truth and purity remaining among you, retain faithfully. Compare Revelation 3:11.
Till I come - To receive you to myself, John 14:3.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 25. That which ye have — That is, the pure doctrine of the Gospel, hold fast till I come-till I come to execute the judgments which I have threatened.
