Revelation 2:21-29

(Continuation of Letters to the Church)

Thyatira (Lax) AD606-AD1520 (about 1000 yrs)

 Jezebel represents taking what is good and pure and corrupting it. She seduced Christians into pagan worship during this reign of Thyatira.
 In the bible, a woman represents false religion.  Jezebel was cast into a bed, and those that mixed with her will be cast into great tribulation.  That means those that do not worship God and turn away from their pagan ways will have great tribulation to deal with.  But they are given a chance to repent.  Rv 2:22.
 Jezebel's children means individuals or groups who maintain pagan worship.  God will kill them.  We become the ‘children' of whatever we believe and commit to, such as Christianity or devil worship.  Children are affected and influenced by their parents.  Alcoholics beget alcoholics, unless an individual of the family seeks outside help.  Wife beaters beget wife beaters, unless one person works to change it.  A cheating husband may bring AIDS home to his wife, and she will suffer even though she is innocent.  These examples show how our actions affect our children.  
  “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Re 2:26 AV)
