Understanding The Scriptural Meaning of Fornication.
Revelation 2:20,23
[20]Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that WOMAN Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
[23]And I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

In the Bible, "fornication" generally refers to s*xual immorality, specifically s*xual relations outside the bounds of a marriage covenant. The term is often translated from the Greek word "porneia," which encompasses a broad range of illicit s*xual activities, including premarital s*x, adultery, and prostitution.
Here are a few key points to consider regarding the biblical meaning:

Old Testament Usage:
In the Hebrew Scriptures, fornication often refers to unfaithfulness to God, using the metaphor of s*xual immorality to describe idolatry or turning away from God (e.g., Ezekiel 16:26-29).
In this context, it refers to spiritual fornication or infidelity to God’s covenant.

New Testament Usage:
In the New Testament, fornication primarily refers to s*xual sins. For example, in 1 Corinthians 6:18, Paul says, "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body."
It is often linked with moral purity, as believers are called to abstain from s*xual immorality and live in holiness.

Marriage Context:
Fornication is often contrasted with the sanctity of marriage.
In Matthew 19:9, Jesus speaks of "fornication" as grounds for divorce in cases of s*xual unfaithfulness, underscoring its seriousness in a marital context.

General Definition:
Broadly, fornication refers to any s*xual activity that is not within the God-ordained context of marriage. This includes adultery (s*x with someone who is not your spouse) and premarital s*x.

In summary, fornication in the Bible refers to illicit s*xual practices that go against God’s design for s*xual relations to occur within a covenant marriage between a man and a woman. It is viewed as a sin because it defies the moral order established by God.
