There are rich parallels to the phrase “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” found in Revelation (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22). This is a motif of spiritual attentiveness and discernment which is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures, especially in the poetic and prophetic language of Moses and the prophets. 1. Deuteronomy 32:1 – Moses’ Haazinu Poem – “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.” This poetic invocation mirrors the call to spiritual attentiveness. Moses is calling upon heaven and earth as witnesses to hear divine instruction, paralleling Revelation’s call to the churches to heed the Spirit’s voice. 2. Exodus 19:5 – Covenant Listening – “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant…” The double verb שָׁמוֹעַ תִּשְׁמְעוּ “Surely listen” intensifies the command to listen with obedience, not just auditory reception. This anticipates the Revelation theme: hearing must lead to action and living. 3. Isaiah 6:9–10 – Hearing but Not Understanding – “Hear indeed, but do not understand; see indeed, but do not perceive.” This prophetic lament about spiritual deafness is echoed in Jesus’ use of the phrase in the Gospels and Revelation. It warns of hardened hearts and the need for divine intervention to truly hear. 4. Deuteronomy 29:4 This verse directly connects the faculties of hearing, seeing, and understanding to divine enablement. Revelation’s repeated call is a spiritual echo of this Torah insight. The Torah doesn’t just speak of physical hearing, it emphasizes “covenantal listening” which is hearing that leads to obedience, transformation, and alignment with God’s will. Revelation’s phrase is a Torah call to obedience. This is how the NT taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
