2:18 “To ¹  the angel of the church in Thyatira writethe following: ² 

“ This is the solemn pronouncement of ³  the Son of God, the one who has eyes like a fiery flame ⁴  and whose feet are like polished bronze: ⁵  2:19 ‘I know your deeds: your love, faith, ⁶  service, and steadfast endurance. ⁷  In fact, ⁸  your more recent deeds are greater than your earlier ones. 2:20 But I have this against you: You tolerate that ⁹  woman ¹⁰  Jezebel, ¹¹  who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives ¹²  my servants ¹³  to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. ¹⁴  2:21 I ¹⁵  have given her time to repent, but ¹⁶  she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality. 2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, ¹⁷  and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, ¹⁸  unless they repent of her deeds. 2:23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers ¹⁹  with a deadly disease, ²⁰  and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay ²¹  each one of you ²²  what your deeds deserve. ²³  2:24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching ²⁴  (who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets ²⁵  of Satan”), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you. 2:25 However, hold on to what you have until I come. 2:26 And to the one who conquers ²⁶  and who continues in ²⁷  my deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the nations ²⁸  –

2:27 he ²⁹  will rule ³⁰  them with an iron rod ³¹ 

and like clay jars he will break them to pieces, ³² 

2:28 just as I have received the right to rule ³³  from my Father – and I will give him the morning star. ³⁴  2:29 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
