Praise and reprimand for the congregation at Thyatira: v. 18. 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: v. 19. 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. v. 20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 2:18-29

“Hold Fast Till I Come” Revelation 2:18-29 Note that Jesus does not hesitate to appropriate the sublime title- the Son of God . His eyes penetrate profoundest secrets, and His advent leaves a trail of purity like fire behind Him. He recognizes the many good qualities of His church at Thyatira, but accuses her of having raised no protest against the woman Jezebel. She had actually permitted the promulgation of soul-destroying error, with most disastrous results. This Jezebel apparently... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 2:1-29

The next movement in the Book consists of the unveiling of the Lord in His relation with the Asian churches, and therefore with His Church. It is impossible in such brief notes as these necessarily are to deal with the details of these letters. They may be treated in two ways. The first is the revelation of differing Church conditions continuing throughout the whole of the Christian era. The second is treating them as covering successive periods in that same era. We may now follow the latter... read more

The Churches at Pergamos and Thyatira Revelation 2:12-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We wish, by way of introduction, to set before you the various seven statements which occur in the Letters to the seven Churches. 1. In each case, the angel of the Church is addressed.

Messages To The Seven Churches (Revelation 2:1 to Revelation 3:22 ). The Son of Man now gives John messages to the seven churches. Each of them follows a general pattern. Firstly an introduction based on John’s vision (‘the things you saw’), secondly the state of the church and various warnings (‘the things which are’), and finally future events and the promises to the overcomers (‘the things which shall be hereafter’). Among other things they follow the pattern of Israel’s history as a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 2:20-23

‘But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent but she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I am throwing her into a bed, and those who commit sexual immorality with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, and I will kill her children with death, and all the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 2:23-25

‘And all the churches will know that I am the one who searches the reins and hearts, and I will give to each of you in accordance with your works. But to you I say, to the rest of you in Thyatira, as many as do not hold this teaching, who do not know the deep things of Satan as they say, I throw on you no other burden. However, that which you have, hold fast until I come.’ For searching the reins and the hearts, searching out what controls men and how they feel and think, see Psalms 7:9; Psalms... read more

Revelation 2:18-Joel : . The Letter to the Church at Thyatira.— Thyatira, which was about 4 miles SE. of Pergamum, was relatively much less important than the cities already mentioned. It was a commercial centre, and seems to have been chiefly famous for the dyeing trade ( cf. Acts 16:14 f.). Revelation 2:18 . the Son of God: while the rest of the verse is borrowed from the description of Christ in Revelation 1:13, this phrase is an addition. Revelation 2:19 . last works, etc.: contrast... read more
