was a time when the clay was soft and

yielding, when it could have been remolded;

but as the fires of persecution kindled, those

who remained hardened in sin became so set

breaking them to pieces. “I will give him the

morning star.” Christ is the light, and the

faithful ones at the close of the years of

persecution were told to lift up their heads, for

their “redemption draweth nigh.” This is the

first church which is pointed forward to the

second coming of Christ. The message to

Thyatira is in harmony with the Psalmist’s

words, “My soul waiteth for the Lord more

than they that watch for the morning; I say,

more than they that watch for the morning.”
