Revelation 2:22
Compare all
20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow2 that woman aJezebel, who calls herself a prophetess,3 to teach and seduce My servants bto commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.  
21 And I gave her time ato repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.  
22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of1 their deeds.  
23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who asearches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.  
24 “Now to you I say,1 and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the adepths of Satan, as they say, bI will put on you no other burden.  
25 But hold fast awhat you have till I come.

Revelation 2:22

I do cast (ballw). Futuristic present active indicative rather than the future balw, since judgment is imminent.

Into a bed (eiv klinhn). "A bed of sickness in contrast with the bed of adultery" (Beckwith).

Them that commit adultery with her (touv moixeuontav met authv). Present active articular participle accusative plural of moixeuw. The actual paramours of the woman Jezebel, guilty of both porneia (fornication, verse Revelation 2:21) and moixeia (adultery), works of Jezebel of old and of this Jezebel. There may be also an allusion to the spiritual adultery (II Corinthians 11:2) towards God and Christ as of old (Jeremiah 3:8; Jeremiah 5:7; Ezekiel 16:22).

Except they repent (ean mh metanohsousin). Condition of first class with ean mh and the future active indicative of metanoew, put in this vivid form rather than the aorist subjunctive (-wsin) third-class condition.

Of her works (ek twn ergwn authv). Authv (her) correct rather than autwn (their). Jezebel was chiefly responsible.
