The Church of Thyatira
The Church of Thyatira, God is not pleased with The Church
of Thyatira, Why?
They which
prophesy out of their own
heart; they seduce My
servants and commit fornication.

state of confusion, lies
Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the
church in Thyatira write; These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame
of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy
works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience,
and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a
few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
- Revelation 17:18
And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.

Woman
Jezebel, The "great city is Babylon, or
state of confusion, lies
-
This is not the Jezebel of the old
Testament, but the Jezebel of the New Testament,
-
Ezekiel 13:16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which
prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for
her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
17 Likewise, thou
son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which
prophesy out of their own
heart;
and prophesy thou against them, 18 And say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make
kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt
the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come
unto you? 19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls
of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not
die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by
your lying to my people that hear your
lies? 20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I am against your pillows,
wherewith ye there hunt the souls to
make them fly, and I
will tear them from your arms, and will let the
souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 21 Your
kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand,
and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall
know that I am the LORD. 22 Because
with lies ye have made the heart of the
righteous sad, whom I
have not made sad; and strengthened the
hands of the wicked, that he should not return from
his wicked way, by promising him life:
-
Revelation 17:4-5 the harlot, who rides
upon the back of Babylon, or confusion.
-
We are dealing with a people who
know the truth as to whom the Kenites are.
-
Those people today, who do not know
there will be a personal individual false christ in the last days,
will be mislead.
-
What does it mean "to seduce My
servants and commit fornication"?
-
Seduce - 4106: go astray,
deceive, err, holy seduce, wander, be out of the way
-
Even if they know who the false
children are, if you believe not that the false christ shall come in
person, then when he comes in all his splendor (which is part of
what Satan's name means) to deceive the world.
-
Then he will deceive them also, and
he will cause them to pay homage to him, and possibly believe upon
him.
21
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
repented not.
-
Jezebel with the people today who
are willfully ignorant as to the Bible's warning concerning our
current condition.
-
These people are being given time
to know the truth and repent of their sins; yet, they do not study
to show themselves approved just as she did not repent.
-
The Bible shows us they will not
repent
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed,
and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds.
-
He is going to cast her into the
bed of deception.
-
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
23 And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am
he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto
every one of you according to your works.
-
This is not actual death. Since the adults allow themselves
to be deceived by her, Their children will die a spiritual
death.
-
Because they did not read God's Word
-
Notice, it says according to your works
-
Revelation 17:18 And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.

24 But unto you
I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this
doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they
speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
-
Or, those who reject the doctrine
of Jezebel, He will set you free
25 But that
which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he
that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will
I give power over the nations:
-
There is great strength in this
verse
-
The Greek word translated
''nation''
-
Is ''ethnos'', which means race.
-
So it appears that we are not
talking about
13 tribes - nations, But rather the races of the world.
-
The overcomers will reign over
them, not of a sense of power.
-
But love and compassion
-
Those, that have the ears to hear, Will have the opportunity to teach
with Christ through the millennium.
27 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.
28
And I will give him the morning star.
-
The ''morning star'' is Jesus
Christ.
-
''Morning star'' also translates to
mean ''early light''.
-
The word ''morning" is the Greek
word # 3720 meaning ''early''
-
The word ''star'' is the Greek word
# 796 meaning ''light''
-
The message of Jesus Christ and
full knowledge does give the elect early knowledge or light.
-
Thus, they are prepared for the
last days. Whereas others will have it come
upon them unawares.
29 He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
-
So far, the people of the churches
we have covered know the truth
-
Yet, He is still somewhat against
many of them.
-
The church at Smyrna was the only
one He seemed to have nothing against.
Bible Study For Life, believes daily Bible study allows the
spirit to grow ever stronger in understanding, knowledge,
wisdom.
God has
told us many times, do not
believe what any man may teach you unless you first check them
out directly from God's Word which is unchangeable.
