The Book of Revelation – Chapter 2:18-26

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:

These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’

To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star. 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 2:18-26

Let me remind you that nothing in the "Revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his slaves what must soon take place" has had a start of fulfillment, not even close.

So not be fooled by the many explanations of "The Book of Revelation" where almost all of them (if not all) attempt to apply and squeeze the events of today into this book. Jesus was not referring to this time period of man-made rule over the earth (under Satan's influence and direction) or any other time period BEFORE the establishment of his one-thousand-year reign (kingdom) over the earth which is yet to come. (Revelation 1:1)

When Jesus made the statement at Revelation 1:1 "... to show his servants what must soon take place" he was referring to a future time period after his definite one-thousand-year kingdom over the earth will have run its course and ended. Thereafter, Satan - who will have been Abyssed for the exact same duration as Christs one-thousand-year kingdom over the earth - will then be released.

Christ is providing a warning to his slaves in those future days (which will be all of resurrected mankind) as to what will SOON TAKE PLACE after his one-thousand kingdom over the earth will have come to an end and Satan is released upon that future restored world Christ leaves behind. (Revelation 20:7-8)

Also, keep in mind that we are given a glimpse of the future of how Christ will organize his kingdom on earth. It will be organized into seven congregations or nations of people. That we are told at Revelation 7:9 and Revelation 20:8 that the numbers of people on the earth will be so vast, that they cannot be counted. Their numbers are like the sand on the seashore. Can one count the grains of sand on even one sandy beach? No, it is not possible. Do we know the population of the earth today? Yes! It is knowable. It is countable! It is approximately 7 billion. So we know that the events of The Book of Revelation cannot possibly apply to our time period at present.

So where do all of these people come from? They are resurrected back to life from the dead as Jesus promised. They make up all of the people who were born since the time of Adam, to include Adam himself!

There is something else here that many have yet to realize. The earth is much larger than we have been told. Its extremities are far-reaching. The earth IS NOT a globe. Extremities are not associated with roundness or globes. In the Bible, in more than 640 places, the earth is said to have extremities or quarters.

Satan, who is the of this world, has used the organizations that he has raised up out of his world to promote the lie that the earth is a globe. At this point in time, it is pointless to debate it because Satan already has in his power and control the majority of the world's population; yes, even those claiming to follow him. Plus, the arrogance and disagreeable nature cultivated in people makes it pointless to debate it. The truth will be revealed in God's appointed time.

Now, Christ's angel directs the Apostle John to write to the angel of the congregation in Thyatira.

The Words of the Son of God

These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. Revelation 2:18

Notice that it is a person, not a book, that is identified as "The Word of God." One is in gross error to assume that the "Bible" is The Word of God.

It is reaffirmed that the words of the "Revelation" are his. His Father in heaven gave them to him. (Revelation 1:1)
