Jesus gets personal in this 4th letter
Revelation 2:18-29 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 "And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
22 "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
23 "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24 "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
25 "But hold fast what you have till I come.
26 "And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-
27 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels"- as I also have received from My Father;
28 "and I will give him the morning star. 29 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '
Have you ever discovered Jesus challenging you to have him as all you really FEAR? The fear of the Lord is a big concept in the Word of God. No less than thirty times God commends reverential awe that leads to loving obedience.
Fearing the Lord is Reverent, Awesome Love
"The fear of the Lord" does not suggest that God's children live ...
