The Reward of the Faithful

For those Christians in Thyatira who had remained faithful when Jezebel and her followers did not? It could’ve been dark. It could’ve been lonely at times. And when the culture wasn’t looking down on them or withholding money from them because they weren't participating in the pagan, ritualistic cultic feasts with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols, then their fellow brothers and sisters in the Church who were misled by Jezebel were suddenly looking down and urging them onward into apostasy as well. The faithful, committed Christians could’ve been lonely like Elijah running from the real Jezebel back in 1 Kings 19.
