The Letter To The Church of Thyatira, Part 4
We continue examining Jesus’ outline of the period of church history from 500–1000 A.D. in the letter to the church in Thyatira in Revelation 2:18–29. We will continue to see the disastrous effects of Romanism in the world, along with the birth of the religion of Islam. Remember, to understand where history is heading, you must understand where it’s been! (Ecc. 3:15)
