JEZEBEL
In the letter to the ecclesia at Thyatira we have a reference to "that woman Jezebel" (Rev 2:20-24Rev 2:20-24 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.). First she is accused of teaching Christ's "servants to commit fornication (porneia)". Then, after a space of time, it mentions those "that commit adultery (moicheia) with her". in Constantine's time, "that woman Jezebel" was "married" to the stateWriting of this in Eureka Bro. Thomas shows that "Jezebel" refers to the idolatrous element which was beginning to poison their ecclesias. He says in volume 1, page 329, "In the days of John she was without political sovereignty; she was the daughter of Ethbaal the idolater; but she had not been married to the Greco-Latin Ahab". Clearly Bro. Thomas linked the word "porneia" with the unmarried state! When, in Constantine's time, "that woman Jezebel" was "married" to the state, and became the state religion of Rome, the "porneia" became "moicheia".
