It is mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible, particularly in the Book of Revelation and the Acts of the Apostles. Thyatira was known for its trade and commerce, especially its dyeing industry, and it played a significant role in the early Christian church.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Thyatira was situated on the road between Pergamum and Sardis, making it a strategic location for trade and military purposes. The city was originally founded as a military outpost by the Seleucid Empire and later became part of the Roman province of Asia. Thyatira was renowned for its guilds, particularly those of the dyers, tanners, and bronze workers. The city was famous for producing a purple dye, which was highly valued in the ancient world.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>:</b> <br>Thyatira is first mentioned in the New Testament in the context of Paul's missionary journeys. Lydia, a notable convert to Christianity, was from Thyatira. She is described as "a dealer in purple cloth" and a "worshiper of God." The Berean Standard Bible states: "One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message." Lydia's conversion and hospitality to Paul and his companions highlight the early spread of Christianity in the region.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/revelation/2-18.htm">Revelation 2:18-29</a>:</b> <br>Thyatira is one of the seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation. The message to the church in Thyatira is delivered by Jesus Christ through the Apostle John. The BSB records: "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze." The church is commended for its deeds, love, faith, service, and perseverance. However, it is also admonished for tolerating the false prophetess Jezebel, who led some believers into immorality and idolatry. The passage emphasizes the need for repentance and promises authority over nations to those who overcome.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Significance:</b> <br>Thyatira's prominence in trade and its numerous guilds suggest a city deeply intertwined with economic and social activities. The guilds often held religious significance, as they were associated with various patron deities. This presented challenges for early Christians, who were called to remain faithful to Christ amidst pressures to conform to pagan practices.<br><br>The reference to Jezebel in Revelation indicates the presence of false teachings and moral compromise within the church. The call to repentance and the promise of reward for those who remain faithful underscore the importance of doctrinal purity and moral integrity.<br><br><b>Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>Archaeological excavations in the area of ancient Thyatira have uncovered remnants of its commercial and religious life, including inscriptions related to its guilds. These findings provide a backdrop to the challenges faced by the early Christian community in maintaining their faith in a predominantly pagan environment.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Thyatira serves as a testament to the early church's struggles and triumphs in a complex socio-economic and religious landscape. The biblical accounts of Thyatira offer valuable lessons on faithfulness, repentance, and the enduring promise of Christ's authority and reward for those who overcome.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Thyatira</span><p>a perfume; sacrifice of labor<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Thyatira</span><p>a city on the Lycus, founded by Seleucus Nicator, lay to the left of the road from Pergamos to Sardis, 27 miles from the latter city, and on the very confines of Mysia and Ionia, so as to be sometimes reckoned within the one and sometimes within the other. Dyeing apparently formed an important part of the industrial activity of Thyatira, as it did of that of Colossae and Laodicea. It is first mentioned in connection with Lydia, "a seller of purple." (<a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>) One of the Seven Churches of Asia was established here. (<a href="/revelation/2-18.htm">Revelation 2:18-29</a>) The principal deity of the city was Apollo; but there was another superstition, of an extremely curious nature which seems to have been brought thither by some of the corrupted Jews of the dispersed tribes. A fane stood outside the walls, dedicated to <i>Sambatha</i> --the name of the sibyl who is sometimes called Chaldean, sometimes Jewish, sometimes Persian-- in the midst of an enclosure designated "the Chaldaeans' court." This seems to lend an illustration to the obscure passage in (<a href="/revelation/2-20.htm">Revelation 2:20,21</a>) which some interpret of the wife of the bishop. Now there is evidence to show that in Thyatira there was a great amalgamation of races. If the sibyl Sambatha was in reality a Jewess, lending her aid to the amalgamation of different religions, and not discountenanced by the authorities of the Judeo-Christian Church at Thyatira, both the censure and its qualification become easy of explanation. (The present name of the city is <i>ak-Hissar</i> ("white castle"). It has a reputation for the manufacture of scarlet cloth. Its present population is 15,000 to 20,000. There are nine mosques. --ED.)<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Thyatira</span><p>A city of Lydia, in Asia Minor, a Macedonian colony, anciently called Pelopia and Euhippia, now Ak-hisar.

It stood so near to the borders of Mysia, that some of the early writers have regarded it as belonging to that country. Its early history is not well known, for until it was refounded by Seleucus Nicator (301-281 B.C.) it was a small, insignificant town. It stood on none of the Greek trade routes, but upon the lesser road between Pergamos and Sardis, and derived its wealth from the Lycus valley in which it rapidly became a commercial center, but never a metropolis. The name "Thyatira" means "the castle of Thya." Other names which it has borne are Pelopia and Semiramis. Before the time of Nicator the place was regarded as a holy city, for there stood the temple of the ancient Lydian sun-god, Tyrimnos; about it games were held in his honor. Upon the early coins of Thyatira this Asiatic god is represented as a horseman, bearing a double-headed battle-ax, similar to those represented on the sculptures of the Hittites. A goddess associated with him was Boreatene, a deity of less importance. Another temple at Thyatira was dedicated to Sambethe, and at this shrine was a prophetess, by some supposed to represent the Jezebel of <a href="/revelation/2-20.htm">Revelation 2:20</a>, who uttered the sayings which this deity would impart to the worshippers.<br><br>Thyatira was specially noted for the trade guilds which were probably more completely organized there than in any other ancient city. Every artisan belonged to a guild, and every guild, which was an incorporated organization, possessed property in its own name, made contracts for great constructions, and wielded a wide influence. Powerful among them was the guild of coppersmiths; another was the guild of the dyers, who, it is believed, made use of the madder-root instead of shell-fish for making the purple dyestuffs. A member of this guild seems to have been Lydia of Thyatira, who, according to <a href="/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a>, sold her dyes in Philippi. The color obtained by the use of this dye is now called Turkish red. The guilds were closely connected with the Asiatic religion of the place. Pagan feasts, with which immoral practices were associated, were held, and therefore the nature of the guilds was such that they were opposed to Christianity. According to <a href="/acts/19-10.htm">Acts 19:10</a>, Paul may have preached there while he was living at Ephesus, but this is uncertain; yet Christianity reached there at an early time. It was taught by many of the early church that no Christian might belong to one of the guilds, and thus the greatest opposition to Christianity was presented.<br><br>Thyatira is now represented by the modern town of Ak-Hissar on a branch line of the Manisa-Soma Railroad, and on the old Roman road 9 hours from Sardis. Ak-Hissar is Turkish for "white castle," and near the modern town may be seen the ruins of the castle from which the name was derived. The village is of considerable size; most of the houses are of mud, but several of the buildings erected by Caracalla are still standing, yet none of them are perfect. In the higher part of the town are the ruins of one of the pagan temples, and in the walls of the houses are broken columns and sarcophagi and inscribed stones. The population of 20,000 is largely Greek and Armenian, yet a few Jews live among them. Before the town is a large marsh, fever-laden, and especially unhealthful in the summer time, formed by the Lycus, which the Turks now call Geurdeuk Chai. The chief modern industry is rug-making.<br><br>E. J. Banks<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2363.htm"><span class="l">2363.
