Presentation transcript:

Thyatira was the least known and least important church mentioned The city was home of various trade guilds The guilds were closely tied to pagan idolatry

Jesus is here portrayed as having eyes like fire and feet like burnished bronze An intense penetrating gaze which sees the true nature of its object Purity and strength; the power to trod over the enemy

“Jezebel” is most likely figurative, representing an influential woman in the church Jezebel stands distinct from Balaam in her more direct approach This woman was likely teaching that idols are nothing and so pagan feast were an acceptable compromise

The “reward” figures are taken from Psalm 2 The Psalm describes the futility of the kings of earth in standing against the purpose of God The Psalm serves as an assurance of God’s victory Through our King we rule victorious!

The Morning Star is a figure of hope, peace and security Even in the darkest night we can hope in the morning star The world which persecutes us places faith in a waning god while we have faith in the one who has yet to even demonstrate His full power

Sardis was the seat of commerce The home of modern money Known for the love of luxury and pleasure Sardis was very confident in its own security

This church had a good reputation but bad character There is no mention of persecution here Perhaps the greater danger is a life of ease

Wake up – be vigilant, recognize the situation Remember –why did you come to Christ?

White garments – purity and full advantage in the sacrifice of the lamb The book of remembrance is a figure intended to instill confidence in the faithful To confess our name indicates son-ship and inclusion
