Hold on to what you have until Jesus come

Revelation 2:18-29
Letter to Thyatira
Good deed:
love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
Against you:
Tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
Warning:
Do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets. Jesus will not impose強加 any other burden on you. Only hold on to what you have until Jesus come.
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations.
Thyatira was a town with many skilled workers, and the trade guides held meals associated with pagan worship (food offered to idols)
Those who remain faithful are promised Christ power and his presence.
Why?
This was another very mixed church. In many ways it was healthy. But an influential woman in the fellowship is advocating easy compromise with the immoral, idolatrous pagan world. And many have fallen in with her way of thinking.
There are 'Christian' who have plunged deep into evil - perhaps to demon-strata階層 their moral superiority; perhaps because they make a false separation between soul and body.
Deep secret may lead people into burden and fall into demon.
God doesn't impose any other burden on us, following the word of Lord with joy and peace!
How?
Hold on to what you have until Jesus come. Keep our love and faith, service and perseverance to the Lord!
