Week 7: What You Tolerate (Revelation 2:18-29)
#1 Specific aspect of the revelation of Jesus for Thyatira Son of God Eyes like blazing fire Feet like burnished bronze
#2 True condition (“I know…”) Nothing is hidden Even if they don’t know Clarity
#3 Commendation Deeds Love Faith Service Perseverance Doing more now than before
#4 Correction They tolerate Jezebel Says she speaks for the Lord
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
#4 Correction They tolerate Jezebel Says she speaks for the Lord Misleads Jesus’ servants
Matthew 18:6-7 (NLT) 6 “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.”
#4 Correction They tolerate Jezebel Says she speaks for the Lord Misleads Jesus’ servants She will not repent Those who follow her will suffer intensely
#4 Correction Her children- Who/what is produced/ that sort of error; What springs from it- false Christianity; Severe judgment (to the next generation)
#4 Correction Deep things of Satan They tolerate error and sin (though they have love) Ephesians 5:1-3 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
#4 Correction Deep things of Satan They tolerate error and sin (though they have love) Ephesians 5:1-3 3 BUT among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.
#5 Encouragement Repent! To the others, “I will not impose any other burden on you” Hold on!
#6 His Promise “To him who overcomes” AND does His will to the end Authority to rule the nations Morning star #7 Listen up! “He who has an ear” The Spirit says this
Prayerfully consider: What you say that is from God Be careful of false Christianity Examine what you tolerate What you tolerate affects you and others (generations)
