Topic: THE SEVEN CHURCHES
In Revelation, we find letters to seven churches in Asia Minor. These seven churches, while they were literal congregations, they are also understood to be a description of a spectrum of seven conditions any church can find itself in. They are also considered symbolic for seven consecutive periods of time, from the Apostolic church to the time of the second coming as follows: Ephesus ("desirable"), Rev. 2:1-7 — The Apostolic church of the 1st century. Smyrna ("sweet smelling"), Rev. 2:811 — Persecuted by Ancient Pagan Rome. Pergamos ("elevated by marriage"), Rev. 2:12-17 — Apostate church-state union. Thyatira ("sacrifice of contrition"), Rev. 2:18-29 — The church of the middle
ages. Sardis ("escape of the remnant"), Rev. 3:1-6 — The Reformation era. Philadelphia ("brotherly love"), Rev. 3:7-13 — The early 19th century to 1844. Laodicea ("a people judged"), Rev. 3:1419 — From 1844 to the second coming. From Strong's Concordance:
G2993. Laodikeia, lah-od-ik'-i-ah; from a comp. of G2992 and G1349; Laodicia, a place in Asia Minor:--Laodicea. G2992. laos, lah-os'; appar. a prim. word; a people (in gen.; thus differing from G1218, which denotes one's own populace):-people.

G1349. dike, dee'-kay; prob. from G1166; right (as self-evident), i.e. justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution):--judgment, punish, vengeance. [The word dike is used in Acts 25:15, Acts 28:4, 2 Thess 1:9, and Jude 1:7.]
The church of Philadelphia, very near the end of time, has another door opened for it: Rev 3:7 (KJV) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Rev 3:8 (KJV) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. This door is the second, the veil or door from the Holy Place into the Most Holy. On the Day of Atonement the high priest entered the Most Holy apartment of the Sanctuary or Temple, which was symbolic of the judgment of God's people. In the Most Holy was the Ark of the Covenant, containing the standard of judgment, the Ten Commandments of God (Exo. 20:2-17). The last of the seven churches is called Laodicea "a people judged" because they are living in the time of the judgment. This event is also described in Daniel: Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down [set in place], and the
Ancient of days [God the Father] did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. The books being opened in the judgment are the evidence, to include the Lamb's book of life (Rev. 3:5), which is Christ's last will and testament: Heb 9:15 And for this cause he [Christ] is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the
first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. In the ancient world, a will (Praetorian Testament) was sealed with the seals of seven witnesses to attest to the validity of the will (see A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities edited by William Smith, D.C.L., LL.D., published by John Murray, London, 1875, entry on Testamentum) The seven seals represent seven consecutive periods of time from creation to the second coming,
the whole span of human existence. Those being judged are the professed people of God, those who claim to be the heirs of Christ, the rightful inheritors of eternal life: 1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, andshall inherit everlasting life. Notice what is given to Jesus at the conclusion of this initial phase of the
judgment, known as the Pre-advent Investigative Judgment: Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man [Jesus] came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. So, just as Isaiah said, the government of Jesus, the Kingdom of God, begins with judgment. The key of the house of David opens the two doors into the Most Holy place of the sanctuary, the Temple in
heaven, to begin the Pre-advent Investigative Judgment of God's people. Psa 122:1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. ... Psa 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. This second door into the Most Holy Place does not remain open indefinitely: Rev 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. At the conclusion of the pre-advent judgment, the door into the Most Holy
place is effectively closed, and probation has ended for all men. With the seven last plagues falling on the wicked, Jesus' role as the high priest ends, and he changes into His royal garments and returns to Earth as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev. 19:16).
Matthew 16:13-19: 13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14. And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15. He saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am? 16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 1.9 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
