Church in Thyatira is one of the 7 churches of Revelation. The 7 churches of revelation represent me and you. Which church are you among the 7?
We have studied the first 3 church, see;
1. Ephesus Church
2. Church in Smyrna
3. Church in Pergamos
Church in Thyatira – The 7 Churches of Revelation Part – 4
Church in Thyatira represent people with works, love, service (charity) and patience.
Rev 2:19: I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.
But Jesus has these against them; they have allowed Jezebel
Rev 2:20: Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols
Jezebel;
- Is a woman
- Calls herself a prophetess
- Teaches and seduces Jesus Christ servants to commit fornication (sexual immorality)
- Teaches people to eat things sacrificed unto idols
There is more to Jezebel.
In the Bible, there are two incidences we see Jezebel.
1. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, King of Zidonians who was married by King Ahab. Jezebel led King Ahab to commit many atrocities against God.
2. When Naboth refused to sell his vineyard to King Ahab, we see Jezebel
From this incidences, you can see more traits of Jezebel. See Jebel traits (Next)
Jezebel uses sex to conquer men. Women who use sex and sexual seduction to get what they want from men have Jezebel spirit.
And these are they who are teaching other women sex, seduction and harlotry. They claim to be God servants but they are not.
Jezebel fights to be in authority. Women fighting for equality with men (feminists) have Jezebel spirit.
Jezebel is against/fights God servants. Remember she killed God prophets and she was against Prophet Elijah.
Jezebel does not repent reason Jesus says,
Rev 2:21: And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not
Jesus says this to Jezebel and all those involved with her
Rev 2:22: Behold, I will cast her into a sickbed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds
Repent and be not involved with Jezebel.
As Jezebel was building altars for Baal, today she is building altars in the name of churches for worshiping Baal. And these are the many churches started and led by women with Jezebel spirit many calling themselves prophetesses and God servants.
They teach the doctrines of Jezebel and give birth to Jezebelic children – people with Jezebel doctrines.
Jesus says,
Rev 2:23: And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
You must stand against jezebel or else you perish with her
Jesus promises those who hold on to Him until the end, will be given power over nations.
Rev 2:25-28: But hold fats what you have till I come. And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
Who has an ear, hear what the spirit says to the churches.
Rev 2:29: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
Repent Repent Repent
Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
