[Hebrews 11:6] But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
THE CORRUPT CHURCH:
18. "And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (Church) in Thyatira wright: These are the words of the Son of God, Who Has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white/hot bronze:
19. 'I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones.
20. 'But I have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess (claiming to be inspired), and who is teaching and leading astray My servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. (1 Kings 16:31; 11 Kings 9:22 & 30).
21. 'I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality (symbolic of idolatry) and refuses to do so.
22. 'Take note; I will throw her on a bed (of anguish), and those who commit adultery with her (her paramours) I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct (such as) hers and repent of their doings.
23. 'And I will strike her children (her proper followers) dead (thoroughly exterminating them). And all the assemblies (churches) shall recognize and understand that I Am He Who searches minds (the thoughts, feelings and purposes) and the (inmost) hearts, and I will give to each of you (the reward for what you have done) as your work deserves.

WOORD VAN DIE DAG;
[Hebreërs 11:6] En sonder geloof is dit onmoontlik om God te behaag; want hy wat tot God gaan, moet glo dat Hy 'n Beloner is van die wat Hom soek.
DIE KORRUPTE KERK:
18. "En skryf aan die engel van die gemeente in Thiatíre: Dit sê die Seun van God wat oë het soos 'n vuurvlam, en Sy voete is soos blink koper:
19. 'Ek ken jou werke en liefde en diens en geloof en jou lydsaamheid en jou werke, en dat die laaste meer is as die eerste.
20. 'Maar Ek het enkele dinge teen jou, dat jy die vrou Isébel wat haarself 'n profetes noem, toelaat om te leer en My diensknegte te verlei om te hoereer en afgodsoffers te eet.
21. 'En Ek het haar tyd gegee om haar van haar hoerery te bekeer, en sy het haar nie bekeer nie.
22. 'Kyk, Ek werp haar neer op 'n siekbed, en die wat met haar owerspel bedryf, in 'n groot verdrukking, as hulle hul nie van hulle werke bekeer nie.
23. 'En haar kinders sal Ek sekerlik doodmaak, en al die gemeentes sal weet dat dit Ek is wat niere en harte deursoek, en Ek sal aan elkeen van julle gee volgens sy werke.
