    Description

    Thyatira in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Thyatira was a city in the Roman province of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), located in the Lycus Valley. It was known for its thriving dyeing industry, particularly in the production of purple cloth. Lydia, a seller of purple goods and a worshiper of God, was from Thyatira. She encountered the apostle Paul in Philippi and became a convert to Christianity (Act.16.14-15). Thyatira is also mentioned as one of the seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 1:11). In the letter to the church in Thyatira, the risen Christ commends the believers for their love, faith, service, and patient endurance (Rev. 2:18-19). However, he also rebukes them for tolerating a false prophetess, symbolically referred to as "Jezebel," who promoted sexual immorality and idolatry (Rev. 2:20-23). The faithful in Thyatira are encouraged to hold fast until Christ's return, with the promise of authority over the nations for those who overcome (Rev. 2:24-28).
