Transcript of Letter to Thyatira Church Complacency with a Jezebel Doctrine · And I will give unto every one of...
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. 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.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against
thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess to teach and
seduce (beguile) my servants to commit fornication
and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave
her space to repent of her fornication, and she
repenteth not.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that
commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her
children with death; and all the churches shall know
that I am He that searcheth the reins and hearts.
And I will give unto every one of you according to
your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in
Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and have
not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will
put unto you none other burden.
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto
the end, 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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches (Revelation 2:18-
29) KJV
It is beyond our highest imagination regarding the
Glorious form of our LORD and King,
namely Jesus Christ. He is ALL KNOWING,
and knows the works of the Thyatira angel and the
church. Jesus begins by telling the angel about the
good works and how the last is more than the first,
but also speaks of what He has against him.
It appears that a complacent attitude toward a
woman named Jezebel’s abominable doctrine is being
tolerated within the Thyatira church. Jesus
identified the doctrine as one that permits sexual

immorality and the eating of things sacrificed unto
idols. Jesus also stated that Jezebel called HERSELF a
prophetess. According to the Holy Scriptures,
anyone who has not stood in the LORD God’s
counsel (Jeremiah 23:18), is a false prophet; meaning,
that the LORD’s prophets are called specifically by
Him, and speaks His Word faithfully (Jeremiah
23:28). They do not speak contrary to His Word,
and His prophets practice His Word.
What else does the LORD God Say?
I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they
prophesied in baal [god], and caused my people Israel
to err. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem
an horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in lies.
They strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that
none doth return from his wickedness. They are all of
them unto me as Sodom and the inhabitants thereof
as Gomorrah.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of Hosts,
concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with
wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for
from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone
forth into all the land. Thus saith the LORD of
Hosts, hearken not unto the words of the prophets
that prophesy unto you.
They make you vain. They speak a vision of their own
heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They
say continually unto them that despise me,” the
LORD hath said” ye shall have peace, and they
say unto every one that walketh after the
imagination (stubbornness) of his own heart, no evil
shall come upon you. For who hath stood in
the counsel of the LORD, and hath
perceived and heard His Word? Who hath
marked His Word and heard it?
Judgment
Behold a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in
fury, even a grievous whirlwind; it shall fall
grievously upon the head of the wicked. The
anger of the LORD shall not return, until He
have executed, and till He have performed the
thoughts of His heart. In the latter days ye shall
consider it perfectly.
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have
not spoken to them, yet they prophesied, but if
they had stood in my counsel, and had cause my
people to hear my words, then they should have
turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of
their doings…I have heard what the prophets said,
that prophesy lies in my Name, saying, I have
dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in
the heart of the prophets that prophecy? Yea,
they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart.
False Prophets
Jeremiah 23:9-40
No Tolerance for False Prophets
Throughout the Holy Scriptures, the LORD
God always sent a warning before judgment. If
Judah had listened to Jeremiah, the Prophet of
the LORD God, and not to false prophets who
told lies, they would never have fallen prey to
Babylonian captivity, which lasted for 70 yrs.
Consider the call of Jeremiah: Read & Study
Jeremiah chapter 1
As stated in an earlier Revelation study, what the
LORD God commands, Jesus Christ
commands. In Jeremiah 23, we read how the
LORD God feels about false prophecy; and
false prophecy that steers people away from His
Word. If a prophet teaches that it is good to eat
foods sacrificed to idols and promotes sexual
immorality, we know that kind of teaching is not
from the LORD God.
Jesus Christ is One with His Father, and
adheres to the doctrine of the Kingdom of God,
which is the Kingdom of Heaven. In His letter to
the angel at Thyatira, Jesus stated “I gave her
time to repent of her sexual immorality; and she did
not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed,
and those who commit adultery with her into great
tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 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 (Revelation 2:21-23)
NKJV
According to Jesus’ letters, it is very evident what
He requires: Repentance, faithful perseverance
and faithful adherence to His Word.
Those who persist in false doctrine, will bring upon
themselves swift destruction (II Peter 2:1-3) also
study II Peter 2:4-11)
Brief Review of Rewards
Ephesus Church: Will eat from the Tree of Life,
which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.
Smyrna Church: Will not be hurt of the second
death (see Revelation 21:8)
Pergamum Church: Will eat of the hidden manna,
and will receive white stone, and in the stone a new
name written, which no man knoweth (see
Revelation 19:12) saving he that receiveth it.
Thyatira Church: Will receive power over the
nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron…
(Revelation :27 & Psalm 2:8-9)
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard His
Word? Who hath marked His Word and heard it? (Jeremiah 23:18) KJV
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming
of our LORD Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty. For He received from
God the Father, honor and glory when such a voice came to Him, from the Excellent Glory: This
is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And we heard this voice which came from heaven
when we were with Him on the Holy Mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,
which you do well to take heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any
private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as
they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (II Peter 16-21) NKJV
