The letter to the church at Thyatira-
v. 18- Having eyes like fire could represent purity.
Having feet like bronze is a sign of strength.
v. 19- I know your works- the witness of these Christians is always apparent.
Question: Is this true of all the Christians that you know? In your church? Is it true of you?
Latter works are better than the former- these Christians do not wear out. They keep working.
v. 20- Jezebel- Although Jezebel is a real character in the Old Testament, she is often used to represent any sin or temptation that causes Christians to fall.
v. 21- Repentance is required for all, especially those who follow Jezebel.
v. 23- We are judged according to our works. That is, how faithfully we serve God.
v.24- Hold Fast- Always be faithful to what God wants.
