1. Revelation 2:22 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Is there opportunity for Jezebel's followers to repent?

Revelation 2:22 (ESV)

22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,

Jesus says there is. Though Jezebel was not permitted to put herself forward as a teacher in the congregation (1 Timothy 2:12), the fact that she did also meant that the Lord would hold her to a higher standard of responsibility than her followers (James 3:1). She had her chance to repent and refused; her followers still receive extra time to repent.
