Bible Study: Revelation 2.12-24

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.
