Jesus goes on to tell the elders in Thyatira: "And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Look! I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds." (Revelation 2:21, 22) Just as the original Jezebel dominated Ahab and then defiled God's executioner, Jehu, so this female influence may be trying to manipulate husbands and elders. Its seems that the elders in Thyatira are tolerating this immodest Jezebel influence. Jesus here sounds a strong warning for them, as well as for the global congregation of Jehovah's people to day. In modern times, some such strong-willed women have induced their husbands to become apostates and even instigated court action against Jehovah's faithful servants. - JUDE 5-8.
