Narrow Road
'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.
And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not
repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit
adultery with her into great tribulation,
unless they repent of their deeds. 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..'
Revelation 2:20-23 (NKJV)
Church of Thyatira, caught in the very act of adultery. Here is a list of those things that God says will bring on your troubles. If we see its kind in one church, then we know its power can corrupt in others as well. And shouldn't we know that the enduring of tribulation is for righteousness sake, all the while the tolerance of evil is rebuked. God searches the minds and hearts. The Word is clear. Repent or see sickness. Repent or see the death of your children.
Then there was Jezebel, the harlot, she symbolizes a spirit of wickedness that thrives unchecked in her culture. She is self appointed and selfish and teaches her own style of false doctrine in her church, all the while leading to the reproach of many that she deceives. Sick. Sick. Sick. Her type of seduction leads to a very grave error in the church. Their failure to confront her and to stop her led to their sins of omission and commission.
Was there no one that could see the harm in allowing the demonic access to the altar? The one that should have was spiritually weak and did not want to confront her. Was she his wife? He did not want to appear mean. She knew them and seduced them and operated her own style of ungodly worship. He just simply waited. He wouldn't take a stand. He waited for the rebuke that he knew was coming while he watched the destruction. Why?
Be warned. Stop her before it's too late because her teachings are in direct conflict with the teachings of the Apostles. Though they loved much, they should never have tolerated this. Why have a church if no one in it can discern truth and bow the knee to God and live by His principles and let Him bring about the change in us we need? Inclusion, diversity and tolerance of loose morals are the ways of the world. Narrow the road. We are the Church. Close the doors and windows to this type of sin and keep the ungodly forces that want to corrupt you out!
