Revelation 2:19-29
2:19 ‘I know your deeds: your love, faith,
service, and steadfast endurance.
In fact,
your more recent deeds are greater than your earlier ones.
2:20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that
woman
Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives
my servants
to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
2:21 I
have given her time to repent, but
she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality.
2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness,
and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering,
unless they repent of her deeds.
2:23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers
with a deadly disease,
and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay
each one of you
what your deeds deserve.
2:24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching
(who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets
of Satan”), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you.
2:25 However, hold on to what you have until I come.
2:26 And to the one who conquers
and who continues in
my deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the nations
–
2:27 he will rule them with an iron rod
and like clay jars he will break them to pieces,
2:28 just as I have received the right to rule from my Father – and I will give him the morning star.
2:29 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
