To him who has ears to hear.

The koine akouō points to an endowment of hearing. Out of that God given akouō comes understanding and perception.

In the Revelation, 2:11 & 2:17 & 2:29 each instance uses the koine akouō.

Endued with the faculty of hearing.

Not deaf.

To attend & consider.

To understand & perceive.

Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the wind words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. ~MSG
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
