The document summarizes a passage from the book of Revelation addressing the church in Thyatira. It describes the good works of the church, including their love, faith, ministry, and patience. However, it notes that the church tolerated a woman named Jezebel who was misleading people into sexual immorality and idolatry. The Son of God warns that Jezebel was given time to repent but did not change her ways, and promises judgment for her deeds unless others repent as well.

2. Revelation 2:18-29
18 “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.

3. 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.

4. 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.”’
