Perhaps like Laodicia. But more likely we are Ephesus, Pergamum, or even Thyatira. If we’re lucky, we’re only Sardis. Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation are the most important chapters, yet most of my friends who can quote the judgements in order and speak at length about the rapture, pre-trib, post-trib, etc have never studied the two chapters that tell us what to do to be ready for whatever happens in the end.

And that is one of the great symptoms of our problem.

No, not Ephesus. Ephesus could not bear those who were evil. We have no problem with embracing evil, especially since homosexuals have gone mainstream.

Ditto Pergamos. They fellowshipped evildoers which is exactly what we've done.

Thyatira maybe. They embraced Jezebel who taught others to fornicate, etc.

Sardis had a name that lived, but they were dead. That's appropriate.

Laodicea said they were rich, increased with goods and had need of nothing. But they didn't know they were destitute and miserable. That describes us to a 'T.'

Regardless, except for the faithful Christians left in America, it can't be very good for our future.
