"Because You Allowed That Woman"

 

 

The Corrupt Church

 


“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,


‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 

 ¹⁹ “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 



²⁰ Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 

 ²¹ And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 


²² Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 


 ²³ I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts.

And I will give to each one of you according to your works.



²⁴ “Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 



 ²⁵ But hold fast what you have till I come. 


 ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—

 

 

 

²⁷ ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—

as I also have received from My Father; 

 

 

 ²⁸ and I will give him the morning star.

²⁹ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
