The Letter To The Church of Laodicea, Part 3
Recap in 10 Tweets
- Jesus’ letter to the Laodiceans in Rev. 3:14–22 represents the period of history from 1901, all the way to the rapture. #WordStrong
- Jesus’ one-word capsulation of this period is “Laodicea.” Interestingly enough, it means “the rights of the people.” #WordStrong
- The open door from the Philadelphian period is closed in Laodicea—with Jesus standing on the outside knocking. #WordStrong
- This letter is the only one of the seven in which Jesus has no word of COMMENDATION. #WordStrong
- Jesus’ letter includes a Laodicean’s spiritual analysis of himself. Man, are we way off! #WordStrong
- What we communicate (say) to Jesus by our life is that we are spiritually rich & increased with goods & have need of nothing. #WordStrong
- Jesus “says” of us, however, that we are lukewarm, wretched, miserable, poor, blind & naked. Wow! #WordStrong
- Jesus doesn’t leave us hopeless, however! He gives us His “counsel” (tells us what to do) about our Laodicean condition. #WordStrong
- Jesus also tells us that if His analysis has rebuked and chastened us, it’s because He loves us! Oh my, how He must love us! #WordStrong
- When we repent, our eyes open, and we’re able to “behold” Him at the door, so we can open it—and allow Him to change us. #WordStrong
