What do you guys think? Is that us?
Some people think that the 7 Churches are actual Churches that existed back at that time, which they might have been having them traits, but I believe it is a prophecy of how the Church age will go in major influence at that time period, and even though that age might of had some flaws with it there has still always been people that were in the truth.
Like when Israel went astray from the truth following Baal, but God said He always has Jews that are in the truth, for 7000 people did not bow to Baal, like today with Jews that accept Christ.
With the Churches the first one left their first love, and which Jesus told them to repent, and correct that.
Then I see the Roman Catholic Church in there when they had a major influence on the people, for it is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity that they did not get rid of their religious ways, but held unto them, and it became their foundation for the interpretation of scriptures.
Then it cleared up in influence among them, and not so much of paganism, but their works were not found perfect before God, and Jesus told them to repent, and correct it, which appears when the Protestant movement happened.
Then in the 6th Church which was a major influence at the time, Jesus did not have anything against them, which is probably because the Protestant movement cleared up the deception of the Roman Catholic Church, and got it back on track concerning many people, as we see today.
Then in the 7th Church they were lukewarm, and interested in money, and material things, and hypocritical, which we can readily see today with the prosperity Gospel, and hypocrisy of many enjoying the world as the world enjoys it, which God said they are lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
Which only because of technology can this happen because it caused money, and material things to flow like a raging river, to where they are rich, and increased with goods, and say they have need of nothing.
The same as the Bible tells us of the last generation before Jesus comes back that they will devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men, which happened because of technology that caused money, and material things to flow big time, and caused many people to pursue it, which they could not pursue it to that degree before technology.
Paul said that when they say Peace and safety, which is when the nations come together as one and try to establish peace on earth, which will develop in to a kingdom that rebels against God stopping the truth of the Bible worldwide adhering to the new age movement, that they saints in the truth will not be deceived by that for they will know it is not of God, and it becomes a deciding point for the whole world whether to get with God, or follow the world.
Which Jesus said concerning the 6th Church that He will deliver the saints that are in the truth from the temptation that shall come upon all the world to try all them that dwell on earth.
Which there can only be one temptation that can come upon the whole world at one time, and that is when the nations come together and say Peace and safety which will happen in the future, and not too far off.
So the 6th Church has to be here now, and could of not of been in the past, and the 6th and 7th Church are both at the time now.
And Jesus said concerning the 6th Church that He will make those of the synagogue of Satan come to worship at the feet of those saints that are in the truth, which would be a Church prior to the 6th Church, so they have to be both operating today.
So a Church prior to the 6th Church, the synagogue of Satan, the 6th Church, and the 7th Church are all at the end time which is now.
Which we can see the Roman Catholic Church here with their pagan foundation, the occult, the Protestant movement, and those that were influenced by it weeding out the deception of the Roman Catholic Church more and more as time went on, and the hypocritical people that love money, and material things, and things of the world, are all here now at this time.
So while there may be 7 Churches that displayed those traits back then, it appears as if it is prophecy of how the Church age will go in major influence at a certain time period from the start of the Church until Jesus comes back and the saints are gathered unto Him.
So all 7 Churches traits are all here today, but at the time that Church age was going on they were a major influence upon the people, and if any flaws concerning that Church age there were still people that were in the truth, and not influenced by them.
The 5th Church that was a major influence at that time broke away from the synagogue of Satan, although they were not quite in the total truth yet, as they started weeding out the falsehood of the major influence of the Church prior to it, and after many years of weeding out the falsehood, and learning more of the Bible that when they got to the 6th Church Jesus did not have anything against them, for they got it back in the truth that was the original meaning of the Bible.
So I believe the 7 Churches is prophecy from the first Church to the seventh Church that we see today, and the Roman Catholic Church, and the Protestant movement, and people that could read the Bible and understand truth without obstruction, and the hypocrisy, and love of money, and material things, are all going on today.
And in the 6th Church there is no way the whole world can be tempted at the same time with the same temptation at that time period in the first century, and it cannot be a temptation such as stealing, or cheating on the spouse, but has to be something different than that, which is when the nations come together and say Peace and safety, and the world is tempted by it for the nations governments will say it is the best operation for the world, and the new age movement, and their interpretation of the Bible based on evolution, and people can still evolve, and people have a choice to make whether to get with God, or follow the world.
Which God said multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision, for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
So that temptation of the 6th Church has to be in the future when the nations come together and say Peace and safety.
