9/        THYATIRA

The words of the son of God,

To the church at Thyatira,

He has knowledge of everything about you,

Through His eyes like blazing fire,

I know your deeds your love and faith,

And all that you preserve,

You are doing more than you ever have,

But, now listen, so you can hear.

I have something important against you,

You tolerate Jezebel,

Who in the book of Kings,

Worshipped the false prophet, Baal.

She called herself a prophetess,

But let God’s children astray,

I have given her time to change,

From her evil and sinful ways.

But, she has not responded,

So she must bear the effect,

And also those who sinned with her,

Will bear the consequence of her sect.

I do this so the churches know,

That I search all hearts and minds,

And I will repay anyone

According to what I find.

But, I say to those who rejected her,

Who did not follow her ways,

I will not put upon them,

The burden which I have laid.

To he whom will overcome,

And practices my will to the end,

I will share my authority with,

Over the nations of my kingdom.

Revelation 2: 18 - 29.
