And this verse is for you
Rev3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
The bride will be white and nice and clean and try to by the fire before he sees us, he doesn't want a dirty bride Full of impurities.

Do you believe this?
Do you believe what 2 Corinthians 11:2 also has to say to "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" (us)?
(and CONSIDER the related passages which use the word
"[to] PRESENT - G3936" like is also used in this verse... also about "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY [/us]" such as 2Cor4:14, Eph5:27 [in view of
1Th3:13/4:17 (up there 
)], Col1:22,
27b,
c ["c" being future... "the HOPE of glory" (a "
sure-hope"... not a
wishful-thinking kind of hope)]);
2) Revelation 3:18 (your verse) is set in the CONTEXT of words / letters "to the church
ES"--see this said 7x... to EACH of the "7 church
ES" in this section ("the things WHICH ARE" section, chpts 2-3)--Note this is not the same as saying "to the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" (i.e. "church
ES" are made up of BOTH believers and those who are NOT actually connected with Christ [i.e. the unsaved]; whereas "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" consists of ONLY "believers" (of "this present age [singular]"--ALL those saved since the first century / Pentecost / see Eph1:20-23 "
WHEN [as to its existence]"--see also what Jesus said in John 7:39 AS TO this same "when" issue.)
The
"Lukewarm" that He is addressing in Rev3:14-22 are NOT "saved" persons; note that the text states "I WOULD thou wert cold or hot" (that's His will), but He's saying they are not either of those.
"Cold" or "Hot" indicates they'd be CONNECTED to [a / the] SOURCE, just as the aquaducts would be, as they are connected with a SOURCE (either HOT or COLD), back in that day and place. By saying this, He is making the point that they are NOT connected with THE SOURCE (Jesus Christ) and thus will be "spewed" out of His mouth (and will be "tried in the fire"--I believe this refers to the Tribulation period which FOLLOWS "the things WHICH ARE" section [chpts 2-3], [that is] IN "the things which must come to pass IN QUICKNESS [noun]" section, i.e. the 7-yr Trib--see
Rev1:1/1:19c/4:1.
Consequently, this is NOT saying that "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" are who will enter and experience the TRIB yrs (COMPARE ALSO the promise made in 3:5 "SHALL BE clothed in 'white himation'" is SHOWN as being/having been FULFILLED in 4:4 "HAVING BEEN CLOTHED in 'white himation'" BEFORE the FIRST SEAL has been opened at the START of that "IN QUICKNESS [noun] / 7-yr period" we commonly call the Tribulation Period, or 70th Week of Daniel (the "future" aspect of the Book of Rev).
How does your viewpoint explain this? (meaning, the PROMISE written
in 3:5 ["the same
SHALL BE CLOTHED in"] being SHOWN as having been FULFILLED ["
HAVING BEEN CLOTHED in..."]
in 4:4 [BEFORE Seal #1 / start of Trib])
