PROPHETESSES.

(Revelation 2:20-24).

Without the Husband who left them
For having too much to say,
Destroying within themselves
His faithful loving Way.

Cunningly prophesying still,
While evading parts of His Word,
Exclude the restriction on teaching,
As though they had never heard.

Usurping the anointed of God,
And their families too.
Were warned to cease their "adultery",
And given time to repent anew.

House to house preaching for glory,
A malignancy they try to hide,
Within the "deep things of satan"
Their evil spirits reside.

As tolerated "children" of Jezebel,
Who teach apostasy and pride,
Unrepentant are thrown into a sickbed,
Where "deadly plague" forever abides.
