1 Lesson # 7e
2 2 Revelation 2:18-29 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. Revelation 2:20
3 3 Located in northern Lydia, near Mysia, on the Lycas River about 40 miles SE of Pergamum. A Roman city since 190 B.C., originally established as a military outpost. Served as the main business and commercial route between Pergamos and Sardis.
4 4 Their chief pagan deity was Tyrimnos, a.k.a. the Greek sun god Apollo. Boasted several pagan temples, (Asklepios, Baachus, Artemis), including one to the Chaldean goddess Sambethe, which was served by a prophetess who claimed to speak for the deity.
5 5 Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira (Acts 16:14-15) A small, but wealthy city known for its purple dye used in coloring clothing for royalty and the wealthy, (cf. Acts 16:14). Contained a number of trade guilds (wool, leather, linen, bronze, garments, dyers, potters, bakers, slaves, etc.) which practiced pagan religion and engaged in immoral practices. A Christian s livelihood was affected by the issues involved in membership in these associations.
6 6 The longest of the seven letters to the least important of the cities. It is interesting to contrast the churches at Ephesus and Thyatira. The Ephesian church was weakening in its love, yet faithful to judge false teachers; while the church at Thyatira was growing in their works, but too tolerant of false doctrine. Both extremes must be avoided in the church.
7 7 Revelation 2:18 (NKJV) Christ s Self Designation "... 'These The Son of God - (cf. 1:18; Matt. 17:5; Mark 1:1; Luke 1:35; 1 John things says 4:15) the Son of A direct claim to Deity - (John God, who has 5:17,18; Psa. 2:7; Heb 1:8,9) eyes like a Jesus does not claim to be A son flame of fire, of God, but THE Son of God and His feet Jesus is both Man (1 Tim 2:5; Heb like fine brass: 2:17) and God (Heb 1:1-4,8). 18
8 8 Revelation 2:18 (NKJV) 18 "... 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: Christ s Self Designation Eyes like a flame of fire Penetrating vision / omniscient, divine knowledge / & righteous judgment. He knows perfectly all we do, say, & think (Rev 1:14; 2:2,9,13, 19; 3:1,8,15; 19:12; Heb. 4:13; Dan. 10:6)
9 9 Revelation 2:18 (NKJV) 18 "... 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: Christ s Self Designation Feet like fine brass (cf. 1:15) The imagery here is of firmness, strength and purity - Jesus durability, justice & authority - (Heb 13:8) Power to vanquish all enemies in fiery judgment - (cf. 1:15; Dan 2:34-35,44; 10:6; 2 Thess 1:7-9).
10 10 Revelation 2:19 (NKJV) 19 I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Commendation I know Your works As with the other congregations, the Lord was aware of their works. - Jesus knows everything a church is doing or is not doing! Good qualities are similar to the Thessalonians whom Paul praised work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope (1 Thess 1:3).
11 11 Revelation 2:19 (NKJV) 19 I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Commendation Love i.e. active good will - seen in obedience to the Lord & deeds of kindness toward others (1 Cor 13:4-7; Heb 6:10; 1 Jn 3:16-18; / Mk 12:29-31; Jn 14:15; 1 Jn 5:3) Ministering - They followed Jesus by serving God and others (Matt. 20:25-28; Phil 2:3-8; Heb 10:24,25; 1 Pet 4:10)
12 12 Revelation 2:19 (NKJV) 19 I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Commendation Faith - Trust-fidelity & obedience. They were faithful, i.e., reliable, dependable, in their work for the Lord (Heb 11:1,6ff; 1 Cor 4;2) Patience - i.e., steadfast, enduring, in that work - Endurance in trial ( Heb 11; 12:1-3; James 5:10,11) Progress growing increasingly zealous - (cf. 1 Thess 4:1; 1 Tim 4:15; Tit.2:14)
13 13 Revelation 2:20 (NKJV) 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. Rebuke: Condemnation Toleration of Error Pitted Them Against Christ This seemingly wonderful congregation had a serious defect that drew the Lord's condemnation and warning. They tolerated in their midst a woman whom Christ called "Jezebel,"...
14 14 1 Kings 21:25 (NKJV) But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up. The literal Jezebel was the archetype of a wicked woman - OT queen of Israel, daughter of Ethbaal, King of Sidon, wife of Ahab, King of Israel. Led her husband and Israel to worship Baal, killed the Lord's prophets, tried to kill Elijah, supported prophets of Baal and of Ashera, and was guilty of "harlotries" and "witchcraft" (cf. 1 Kings 16:31-33; 18:4,19; 19:1-2; 21:25-26; 2 Kings 9:22).
15 15 : one who holds that under the gospel dispensation of grace the moral law is of no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary to salvation Merriam Webster Ιεζαβελ <G2403> Jezebel (modern: Isabel ), wife of Ahab (circa B. C ; 1 Kings 16:29), an impious and cruel queen, who protected idolatry and persecuted the prophets (1 Kings 16:31 2 Kings 9:30);... the symbolic name of a woman who pretended to be a prophetess, and who, addicted to antinomianism, claimed for Christians the liberty of eating things sacrificed to idols, Revelation 2:20.*Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament.
16 16 Revelation 2:20 (NKJV) 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. Rebuke: Condemnation Toleration of Error Pitted Them Against Christ Jezebel symbolized an influential woman in Thyatira who led Christians to share in the pagan immoralities of Thyatira. Doctrine hated by the church in Ephesus (verse 6), but tolerated in Pergamos (verses 14-15).
17 17 Revelation 2:20 (NKJV) 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. Rebuke: Condemnation Toleration of Error Pitted Them Against Christ Her doctrine was that of compromise which would ease their physical hardships & suffering. To commit adultery (spiritual) & joining the trade guilds (with its sacrifices to idols & drunken revelry) would spare them...
18 18 Revelation 2:20 (NKJV) 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. Rebuke: Condemnation Toleration of Error Pitted Them Against Christ The churches sin was that of toleration - you ALLOW - (2 Cor 5:1-10) They should have exposed and rebuked the error and her as a false teacher - (Eph 5:7,11; 2 Pet 2:14-15; Jude 1:3-4,8,11; 2 Jn 1:10)
19 19 Revelation 2:20 (NKJV) 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. Rebuke: Condemnation Toleration of Error Pitted Them Against Christ When one tolerates error, he endorses it. Even silence can be an endorsement of error. The church at Thyatira was doing everything right except not speaking out against error when it came to their doorstep.
20 20 Revelation 2:21,22 (NKJV) 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. Exhortation: Jezebel was given "time to repent," but she refused (21). The Lord is longsuffering with those who teach and practice sinful error, hoping to lead them to repentance - (2 Peter 3:9), But His wrath is reserved for those who stubbornly refuse to do so (Romans 2:4,5).
21 21 Revelation 2:22,23 (NKJV) 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.... Exhortation: Jezebel was given "time to repent," but she refused (21). The Lord promised to bring appropriate punishment upon Jezebel and her followers, unless they repented (verses 22-23). None can hide from Christ His real loyalty, for He "searches the minds and hearts" (23; Heb 4:13).
22 22 Revelation 2:23 (NKJV) And I will give to each one of you according to your works. Exhortation: Each one held accountable The false teacher, her followers and those who tolerate her error are all called to repent or else - 2 Pet. 2:1-3; Matt. 15:14 Judgment is individual & impartial - Mt 16:27; Rom 2:5-11; Rom 14:12; 2Cor 5:10; Gal 6:5,7-9; 1Peter 1:17; Rev 20:12
23 23 Revelation 2:24,25 (NKJV) 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. Exhortation: Faithful are encouraged to hold fast (25) All had not embraced Jezebels doctrine & had not known the depths of Satan the Lord required no more than that they remain faithful till He comes to execute His judgment on them -(24-25; Acts 15:28,29)
24 24 Revelation 2:26-28 (NKJV) 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. Promise & Reward: Conditioned upon their repentance & faithfulness Christ s rule - (Rev 1:4-6; 19:15; Psa. 2:6-9; John 18:36) As we conquer sin through Christ, we rule with Him (26-27; Rom 5:17; Rev 5:9-10) in His spiritual kingdom at this present time (Col 1:13; Revelation 1:9).
25 25 Revelation 2:26-28 (NKJV) 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. Promise & Reward: Conditioned upon their repentance & faithfulness Power over the nations NOW (cf. Rev. 1:5-6; Rom 8:31-39; Psa. 2:8,9; Matt. 28:18; 1 Cor 15:25) Power of truth & consequences of rejecting it - (Jer 23:29; 2 Cor 10:4,5; Heb 4:12; Rev 11:5)
26 26 Revelation 2:26-28 (NKJV) 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. Promise & Reward: Conditioned upon their repentance & faithfulness The Son of God is the "Bright and Morning Star" (Revelation 22:16) in Whom we have "every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 1:3) Our hope originates & rest in Christ (cf Rev 22:16; 2 Cor 4:14-18)
27 27 There is GREAT DANGER in looking the other way... Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky Scandal at Penn State
28 28 Religion today is very shallow and calls for compromise. Jezebel is still at work. She asks us not to believe in absolutes. She asks us to give in just a little at a time until there is nothing distinctive about us and the world. She asks us to tolerate evil
29 29 Our obedience to God is NOT determined by our circumstances. Error cannot be permitted to be taught - if we tolerate error, we endorse it. Compromising with error & worldliness forfeits positive influence for good. The membership of a congregation is not finally judged collectively, but individually. Repentance & faithfulness is the key to avoiding judgment!
30 30 Revelation 2:29 (NKJV) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ' We are not to be CONFORMED to this world but to be transformed - demonstrating the good, acceptable and perfect will of God - Rom 12:1,2 Let us NEVER take the path of compromising matters of faith and conscience - but be separate - 2:Cor 6:14-7:1 Is your faith strong enough to stand for the truth through trials, & sacrifice popularity and comfort?
