Thyatira

Thyatira is about 40 miles east of Pergamos. Politically, it was not very important. It did flourish in trade and was known for its trade guilds. In fact, the New Testament in Acts 16:14 records that Lydia was a trader of purple fabrics, and that she came from the city of Thyatira.

We will find another woman also associated with Thyatira -- Jezebel. That name was well known by Jews and we will get to know about her too!

18. "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 
       The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire,
       and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:
     "To the angel of the church in THYATIRA write:
        The SON of GOD
         * who has eyes like a Flame of Fire, and
He saw what was going on in Thyatira. Also see Revelation 1:14. 
         * His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:
And he has the power to "stomp" on any offender He wishes. Also see Revelation 1:15.

One of the trades at Thyatira was bronze working. So this view of the speaker may have had a special impact. Furthermore the members at Thyatira are shown that the speaker knows and sees what is going on with Jezebel in their midst.

You can't hide from God!
