The Tolerant Church at Thyratira: Revelation 2:18-29

Continuing with the study of the Book of Revelation, Dr. Paul takes a look at the tolerant or liberal church: the Church at Thyratira. As was typical of at least four other churches that John the Apostle addresses in the Book of Revelation, Thyratira had many things going for it, while also garnering severe criticism for its tolerance of false prophecy and false teaching. That said, some of the members in this small city and church did not succumb to the “deep things of Satan,” and so were encouraged to hold fast to things it had learned. If anything this letter to Thyratira is an indication that the alleged rapture that many modern-day Christians and/or Evangelicals are anticipating will happen, will turn out to be something wholly other. Therefore, let those with ears to hear, pay attention to what the Spirit is telling not only the Church at Thyratira, but all Christian churches in existence today.
