Plainly, then, "that woman Jezebel" who claims to be a prophetess in Thyatira is a sham. She has no backing of God's spirit. Who is she? Likely, she is a woman or group of women acting as shameless corrupting influence in the congregation. Some associated women may have been involving congregation members in immorality, while brazenly justifying their self-willed course by misapply scriptures. False prophesying indeed! They would influence others to fall into their own ways of "fornication, uncleanness, and covetousness, which is idolatry." (COLOSSIANS 3:5) They would have those in the congregation indulge in an immoral, self-seeking life-style of the kind that is now countenanced or winked at, in most of Christendom's religions.
