Apologies for the later than usual posting.

First, after the insistent appeal of Christ, who in the first part of Revelation[Apocalypse] said seven times: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Church" (cf. Revelation[Apocalypse] 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22), ...

Revelation does NOT say this. It says: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches". Churches, plural. Not Church, singular.

It is extremely dangerous to add to, or subtract from, the words of the book of prophecy of the revelation of Jesus Christ. To do so incurs a curse (see Revelation 22:18,19)

“as Christians we can never be pessimists”

Words I know I need to remember.
