The Seven Churches of Revelation Part XVI - The Seventh Church of Revelation: Laodicea

Peter and Leslie continue their discussion of the seventh and final Church in the Apocalypse, the Church at Laodicea. This church received the most severe rebuke and warning from Jesus Christ. Many present-day thought leaders believe this church prophetically pictures the Church in the United States today. And yet, if they repent, they receive the most significant rewards! Jesus began by calling them out for being in total unreality concerning their spiritual condition. The Lord uses the city's geographical setting, economic forces, and culture to address their fallen condition. Can we imagine what the leadership of this Catholic congregation imagined when they read this letter? This second of a three-part series on the church at Laodicea will cause conviction, repentance, and hope to fill all who heed what the Spirit is saying to the churches! Next week, we will explore the beautiful promises given to this Church if they repent!
