Letter to Thyatira: Church of the Dark Ages Revelation 2:18-29
The Dark Ages Lasted from approx. 476-1000 A.D. “Monasticism” movement began Power-hungry men brought corruption into the Church
The Eyes of Jesus Are like blazing fire Pierce the darkness and flash with moral anger Reveal the hidden motives of the soul
"Jezebel" of Thyatira Brought Sexual immorality and idol worship into the Church The Church refused to cast her out God shows patience before judgment
Our Sin Debt Jesus has already paid it in full Rejection of His gift brings eternal punishment God desires you to accept His gift of eternal life
Jesus addresses the Faithful He encourages them to “Hold On” to their faith until He returns He gives “rest” to the weary and the burdened (Matthew 11:28-30)
Rewards for the Faithful He will give us “Authority over the Nations” He will give us the “Bright and Morning Star”
