Summary for Rev 2:20-21: 2:20-21 ^a The mention of Jezebel, who led Israel into pagan idolatry and immorality (1 Kgs 16:31-33 ^b; 21:5-26 ^c), indicates a serious problem. Like the Old Testament queen who led the pagan cult of Baal (see 1 Kgs 16:31 ^d; 18:4 ^e; 19:1-3 ^f), this unknown Jezebel called herself a prophet but was leading God’s people into various forms of immorality, including sexual misconduct and straying from God into idolatrous alliances and actions (Exod 34:15-16 ^g; Ps 106:39 ^h; Isa 57:7-8 ⁱ).
2:21 ^j Through messengers such as John, Christ had given this false prophet opportunity to repent of her sinful teachings and actions, but like many, she had refused (cp. 9:20-21 ^k).
