Jesus is the one whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. He has penetrating insight and wisdom in all things. He is swift to move, and will act quickly to do what needs to be done.
Thyatira is Akhisar. It was a city of guilds and of dyed cloth. Acts names Lydia, a seller of purple from Thyatira, among the people Paul met in Philippi. The letter in Revelation is the longest of the seven, and the ruins in the modern centre are modest. The stop is for the letter, not for a monument that fills a photograph.
