| 🦹🏻‍♀️🔮 QUEEN OF SEDUCTION

The infamous Jezebel was raised as the daughter of a high priest— but not of Jehovah. Jezebel’s father, Ethbaal, worshiped Baal, a pagan god known as the “Lord of the Earth,” and Ethbaal taught his daughter to do the same. When she married King Ahab, the new queen brought her family’s religion with her (1 Kings 16:31).

Thus began Israel’s reign of outright apostasy. Ahab followed after the religion of his wife. According to Scripture, the true Lord of the Earth, “the ruler of this world,” is the devil (John 12:31 and 16:11). As a result, all of Israel was soon steeped in idolatry.

The people were God’s chosen; they were betrothed to Him. But they did not love Him in return. Scripture refers to their idolatry as spiritual adultery. Through Jezebel’s influence, the people abandoned God to chase after paganism. But this was no mere flirtation. The Israelites gobbled up this false religion, “[eating] things sacrificed to idols,” consuming such pagan practices to make them their own.

The same adultery occurred in the church during the Dark Ages. Christianity fornicated with paganism, and soon statues of gods and goddesses became worshiped as revered saints, mystical rituals became common, and the Word of God was replaced by a man who “[spoke] pompous words against the Most High … and ... [intended] to change times and law” (Daniel 7:25)—that is, God’s times and law.

This was not an obvious enemy. Paganism slithered in through beguilement, just as Jezebel’s beauty had beguiled Ahab. It looked good. It called itself pious; Jezebel likewise “[called] herself a prophetess.” But it was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. When it had triumphantly tricked Christianity, it showed its true colors: as “Jezebel massacred the prophets of the Lord” (1 Kings 18:4), so did the papacy slaughter millions (Daniel 7:21).

God Almighty, may I cling to Your strength, Your courage, Your endurance in the darkest of times: You “will not leave [us] nor forsake [us]” (Deuteronomy 31:6).

| ⚔️⛓️📖🧎🏻 THE SUN GOD

Buried beneath the district of Akhisar in modern-day Turkey is the ancient city of Thyatira. Its pagan locals worshiped Tyrimnas, a Lydian moniker for Apollo, the Greek god of the sun. In Greek mythology, Apollo is the son of Zeus, the god above all other gods. So, to put it another way, Apollo was the son of the “most high” god.
It was to Thyatira that Christ introduced Himself as “the Son of God.” Apollo was a mere imposter, a fake, as there is only “the Sun of Righteousness” (Malachi 4:2), Jesus Christ. It is Jesus who is described with “eyes like a flame of fire” and “feet like fine brass”; it is He who shall “destroy with the brightness of His coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:8).

In its prophetic application, Thyatira represents the Christian church from ad 538 to ad 1798, a period well-known to students of Bible prophecy. This was the era of the church’s greatest tribulation, when deception, fraud, and slander were paraded as religion, when the Roman Catholic Church “grew up to the host of heaven … and … cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. … He cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered” (Daniel 8:10, 12). This was the Dark Ages of the 1,260-day prophecy (Daniel 7:23–25; Revelation 13:5), when the light of God’s Word was hidden from the people.

But even through this most terrible of tribulations, there were still those who raised the Christian standard of “love, service, faith, and … patience.” And in the very last years of the Dark Ages—“the last … more than the first”—the light of the Protestant Reformation began to dawn, uncovering God’s truths for all the world to see with their own eyes.

To all those who remain faithful, Christ also gives this promise: His “word is a lamp to [our] feet and a light to [our] path” (Psalm 119:105). We must follow His light out of the darkness.

Glorious Savior, in times of confusion, of persecution, of utter hopelessness, may I search for Your light and follow Your footsteps to the path of righteousness.

| 🌌🦉 HEARING IN THE DARK

Owls are known for their ability to detect the faintest sounds, but did you know that they have mismatched ears? These nocturnal birds have one ear positioned slightly more forward on their heads than the other ear. This allows them to pinpoint the location of prey while hunting in the dark.

Though living in an especially sinful region of the ancient world, the Christians of Pergamos were encouraged to “hear what the Spirit says.” Such spiritual listening skills— for Christians of all ages—are developed by reading and hearing the Word daily.

While the Nicolaitans did overcome some in Pergamos through false teachings about God’s law, the Lord promises to those who overcome such lies the precious gift of “hidden manna,” a callback to the manna hidden in the ark of the covenant. “Moses said to Aaron, ‘Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations’” (Exodus 16:33).
Jesus spoke of Himself and His life-giving words as manna—that is, the bread of heaven. The Jews once said to Him: Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always” (John 6:31–34).\

Receiving this manna signifies the gift of eternal life (John 6:27, 51).
Also promised here was a white stone with a new name written on it. Ancient judges often used a white stone to indicate that a person was pardoned —a black stone if guilty. What valuable gifts come to overcomers in Christ!

Give me spiritual ears to hear, O Lord, the words of life and truth that I may overcome the errors of this world.

| ✝️🙋🏻‍♂🚪 AN OPEN DOOR

Number 10 Downing Street is one of the most famous doors in the world. It attracts millions of visitors every year. One woman and 52 men have passed through the grand doors of Number 10 Downing Street as British Prime Minister. Sometimes they were met by violent riots, passionate protests, and even a few celebrities. One interesting fact about this door is that it can only be opened from the inside.

Another world-famous door is the Florence Baptistery in Florence, Italy. It took Lorenzo Ghiberti and two colleagues 27 years to produce the design that included 10 panels depicting scenes from the Old Testament. They are crafted from gilded bronze. Ghiberti’s use of the “principle of perspective” led Michelangelo to refer to these doors as fit to be the “Gates of Paradise.”

An ancient door famous among archaeologists is the Ishtar Gate from Babylon. Around 600 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar built this powerful blue-glazed brick gate. He emblazoned on the door the image of the dragon of Marduk. Also featured are golden lions and bulls. The gate is almost 50 feet high and 33 feet wide.

An interesting door in Rome is called the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, or the “Door of the Great Pardon,” which is sealed with a brick wall. Every 25 years the pope strikes the brick with a silver hammer and symbolically opens it. It remains open for the entire year. At the end of the year the brick wall is rebuilt. The Holy Door is meant to represent Jesus, as the gate to heaven and salvation.

The Bible describes Jesus standing before a door and knocking. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). Like 10 Downing Street, this door opens only from the inside. It is the door of your heart. You don’t have to wait 25 years for someone to open it. You can do so right now.

| 🚦📖 IS IT LEGALISTIC TO FOLLOW CHRISTIAN RULES OF CONDUCT?

There is no legalism in doing what is right except when a person is doing it to curry favor for selfish reasons, instead of out of love for God. Of course, if they are trusting in their own deeds to save them, they are doomed to failure.

Salvation comes only as a miraculous, free gift from Jesus. The Bible says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). We’re saved by “grace,” which means undeserved favor.
None of us deserve the exquisite gift God has given us “while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8). By putting our faith in Jesus, we are made right with God. He is the only one who can bridge the gap. Salvation by works (our conduct) is impossible.
But following Jesus’ standards of conduct because we have been saved and love Him is never legalism. God asks us, ‘Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed” (Isaiah 56:1). We do what is right to honor the One who bought our salvation with His own blood. We do it because He said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). We obey out of love for our Savior.

Once we have been baptized into Christ, our lives should be very different. The apostle Paul puts it this way: “Our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin” (Romans 6:6, 7). The blood of Jesus breaks our chains and sets us free— not free to do whatever we please, but free from the slavery of doing what is wrong. He empowers us to do what is right.

| 🤺📖⛪🧎🏻 GOD HATES ERROR

While the church in Ephesus hated “the deeds of the Nicolaitans” (Rev.2:6), members of the church of Pergamos “[held to] the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate” (v. 15). Just as Balaam (a name meaning “one who devours”) led the Israelites astray through compromise with the Moabites in idolatrous worship and sexual immorality, so the Nicolaitans led believers in Pergamos to reject the commandments of God.

The basic belief of the Nicolaitans permeates most Christian churches today. Antinomianism (“against the law”) is found among those churches that claim that Christ did away with the law of God, the Ten Commandments. But this is an erroneous understanding of not being “under the law but under grace” (Romans 6:14). The Nicolaitans also believed that what we do with our bodies doesn’t matter; however, the Bible teaches that the sinful use of our bodies does bear on our salvation.

Scripture says that Christians should “be doers of the word, and not hearers only” (James 1:22). The apostle Paul clarifies that living by faith does not mean tossing away the law (Romans 3:31).

Thus, there is a difference between keeping the law through the power of Christ living in our hearts and keeping the law as a mere exercise to earn salvation. It was the latter that Paul warned against: “By the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). The only way to overcome such false teachings is by “the sword of My mouth”—that is, combating error with the Word of God.

“He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day” (John 12:48). God hates error because it leads to death. That’s why there is nothing more helpful to save people from eternal loss than teaching them the Bible truth, words that bring life.

“Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life; let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life!”
