What the Lord's put on my heart is, you've got to start resisting the enemy. You've got to stop allowing teaching in the church that is pulling people away from me and away from what I'm teaching. As a matter of fact, you're doin' more good works than you used to, but there's something that you've got to stop doing. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches". And then again, this statement, remember, is to all seven churches. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations, 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron they shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels', as I have also received from My Father, and I will give him the morning star". "But, hold fast what you have till I come. I want you to stop allowing this to happen. In other words, this is the one thing I want you to deal with. Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine," or this teaching, "who have not known the depths of Satan as they say," This is something they boasted about is that they knew the depths of Satan, and I have no clue why they boasted about that, but he says this, To all of you, "I will put on you, no other burden". And I will give to each one of you according to your works. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and", now, this is important, "those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. "And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
So, alright, "who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols". You know, like if a guy gets up and says, "I'm a teacher," and after a few minutes, you're dozed off, he's not that good of a teacher, okay. You know, if they really are, you can figure it out. You always need to be a little cautious when people call themselves something. "Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow, you allow, that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess". In other words, you're getting better at good works.
Revelation 2:18, "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the real Son of God, the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, His feet like fine brass: 'I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience and as far as your works," this is kind of cool, "the last are more than the first". So, let me just show you here how Jesus starts out. We're the city where the son of god lives. So they boasted that they were the city of the son of god. So, that's one thing they boasted about, but they boasted about something else. Today, we might say electricians, you know, whatever, and they would come together, but again, they would celebrate a false deity, and they would have sexual orgies at these. Even though they were the smallest city, they boasted that they had the most trade guilds, and a trade guild would be leather workers, potters, brass workers. Well, this is something they boasted about too. Now, before I tell you that, I forgot to tell you one thing. So the reason I'm saying that is what did Thyatira boast about? You know, I'm the real one that came back to life, and then Pergamum boasted that they carried the sword and Jesus starts with, my sword's bigger than yours, by the way. It's been interesting me to note the salutation of each letter in that, like, you know, Smyrna boasted that they were a city that was dead and came back to life and Jesus starts with, No, I was dead and came back to life. So, they had a lot of good things going on, but this is kind of a famous letter because he's going to address the Jezebel spirit in this letter to this, the smallest one. This is the church at Thyatira, and Thyatira was the smallest city of the seven cities, but they got the longest letter, and most of it wasn't good.
