ACT 16:11–15, engwebp
¹¹Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
¹²and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
¹³On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
¹⁴A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
¹⁵When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

REV 1:9–20, engwebp
⁹I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
¹¹saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
¹²I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
¹³And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
¹⁴His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
¹⁵His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
¹⁶He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
¹⁷When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,
¹⁸and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
¹⁹Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
²⁰The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

¹⁸“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
¹⁹“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
²⁰But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
²¹I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
²²Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
²³I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
²⁴But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
²⁵Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
²⁶He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
²⁷He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
²⁸and I will give him the morning star.
²⁹He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
