What is Christ's message to the last church?
Answer
'Unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot.
. . . Because thou says, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; . . . I counsel thee to
buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou may be rich; and white raiment, that thou may be clothed. . . . As
many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent!' Verses 14-19.
NOTE - Laodicea signifies the judging of the people, or, according to Cruden, a just people. This
church exists in the time of the judgment and the proclamation of the final warning messages preceding
Christ's second coming. See Rev. 14: 6-16, and readings on pages 55-66 of Vol. II. This is a time of great
profession, with but little vital godliness and true piety.
