And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 2 of Revelation. The message to Thyatira highlights works, love, service, and perseverance, but condemns tolerance toward a figure symbolically called Jezebel who leads Christ’s servants into immorality and participation in food sacrificed to idols. The image recalls the confrontation between Elijah and Jezebel, but it is applied to a situation within the church. Christ appears with eyes like a flame of fire and feet like burnished bronze, emphasizing his ability to examine and judge. The faithful are told to hold firmly to what they have until Christ comes, and they are promised participation in his authority over the nations.

und er soll sie weiden mit einem eisernen Stabe, und wie eines Töpfers Gefäße soll er sie zerschmeißen,
Y las regirá con vara de hierro, y serán quebrantados como vaso de alfarero, como también yo he recibido de mi Padre:
las regirá con vara de hierro, como se hacen pedazos las vasijas de barro,
Il les paîtra avec une verge de fer, comme on brise les vases d'argile, ainsi que moi-même j'en ai reçu le pouvoir de mon Père.
ed egli le reggerà con una verga di ferro, e saranno tritate come i vasi di terra; siccome io ancora ho ricevuto dal Padre mio.
E com vara de ferro as regerá; e serão quebradas como vasos de oleiro; como também recebi de meu Pai.
他必用鐵杖管轄他們, 如同打碎陶器,
