This document discusses the seven churches mentioned in Revelation and how they represent seven phases of church history. It focuses on the church of Laodicea, representing the last church phase before the second coming of Jesus. Laodicea is described as lukewarm, indifferent, and in need of revival and reformation. The document outlines prophetic signs that will occur during the sealing of God's people, including a change in the US Constitution, Satan appearing as Christ, enforcement of Sunday laws, economic collapse, and the finding of the Ark of the Covenant. It emphasizes the need for God's end-time church to overcome lukewarmness and fully prepare for the events soon to take place.

3. The Seven Churches
• Rev. 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the
first and the last: and, What thou seest, write
in a book, and send [it] unto the seven
churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and
unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

5. Seven Phases of Church History

Ephesus First Century
Smyrna
Pergamos
Thyatira
Sardis
Philadelphia
Laodicea The last Church phase before S.C.

6. Unto The Laodiceans
• And unto the angel of the church of the
Laodiceans write; These things saith the
Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
beginning (Beginner) of the creation of God;

7. Colossians 1:16,17
• For by him (Jesus) were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether [they be]
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and
for him:
• 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him
all things consist.

8. Neither Cold Nor Hot
• I know thy works, that thou art neither cold
nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
• 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out
of my mouth.
• Lukewarm Laodicea is not going to make it.

Problem areas
Lukewarm - indifferent
So spiritually content - no need of prayer meeting
Increased with goods – need of nothing – storage rentals
Spiritually speaking
Wretched – miserable – poor – blind – naked
Need – golden character – white raiment – eye problem
Very evident: Not ready for Second Coming of Jesus
Indifferent half hearted Christians will not be welcomed into heaven
I will spue thee out
How readest thou?

10. Jesus is speaking directly to us
• 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke
and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
Do we really see our problem area?
• Will Laodicea repent? Will you? Will I?

11. The Bible Reveals Laodicea’s
Greatest Days
• Revelation 6:12 – 17 The ultimate picture!
• The greatest question – Who shall be able to
stand at the second coming? – Who is going
to make it?
• The sealed – The 144,000 (verse 4)
• Rev. 7 A great world wide revival with a world
wide sealing message.
• The 12 spiritual tribes – THE CHURCH
• Shaken and sealed – giving the last call

13. SIGNS DURING THE SEALING
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
CHANGE OF THE CONSTITUTION
SATAN PERSONATES CHRIST
THE SUNDAY LAW
DEVALUATION OF THE MONEY
THE BURNING
THE CRASH OF THE STOCK MARKET
UNITED STATES NATIONAL RUIN
THE FINDING OF THE ARK

14. CHANGE OF THE CONSTITUTIOIN
• When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across
the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power,
when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands
with spiritualism, when,under the influence of this
threefold union, our country shall repudiate every
principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and
republican government and shall make provision for
the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions,
then we may know that the time has come for the
marvelous working of Satan and that the end is
near.--5T 451 (1885). {LDE 131.4}

15. SATAN PERSONATES CHRIST
•
As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan
himself will personate Christ. The church has long professed
to look to the Saviour's advent as the consummation of her
hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ
has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest
himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness,
resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in
the Revelation. (Revelation 1:13-15). The glory that surrounds
him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet
beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: "Christ
has come! Christ has
come!" {LDE 163.2}

16. WHEN SATAN APPEARS
• In this age antichrist will appear as the true Christ, and then
the law of God will be fully made void in the nations of our
world. Rebellion against God's holy law will be fully ripe. But
the true leader of all this rebellion is Satan clothed as an angel
of light. Men will be deceived and will exalt him to the place
of God, and deify him. But Omnipotence will interpose, and to
the apostate churches that unite in the exaltation of Satan,
the sentence will go forth, "Therefore shall her plagues come
in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall
be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who
judgeth her" [Revelation 18:8].--TM 62 (1893). {LDE 168.2}

17. THE SUNDAY LAW
• When Protestant churches shall unite with
the secular power to sustain a false religion,
for opposing which their ancestors endured
the fiercest persecution, then will the papal
sabbath be enforced by the combined
authority of church and state. There will be a
national apostasy, which will end only in
national ruin.--Ev 235 (1899). {LDE 134.3}

18. DEVALUATION OF MONEY
• The very means that is now so sparingly
invested in the cause of God, and that is
selfishly retained, will in a little while be cast
with all idols to the moles and to the bats.
Money will soon depreciate in value very
suddenly when the reality of eternal scenes
opens to the senses of man. {Ev 62.4}

19. THE CRASH OF THE STOCK MARKET
• 18:2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of
devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird.
• 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their
merchandise any more:

20. NO MAN BUYETH
STOCK MARKET GONE
• 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and
purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and
all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of
most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and
marble,
• 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour,
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and
chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

21. UNITED STATES NATIONAL RUIN
• 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like
a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea,
saying, Thus with violence shall that great city
Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found
no more at all.
• Roman Catholic principles will be taken under
the care and protection of the state. This
national apostasy will speedily be followed by
national ruin.--RH June 15, 1897. {LDE 134.2}

22. THE FINDING OF THE ARK
•
Among the righteous still in Jerusalem, to whom had been
made plain the divine purpose, were some who determined
to place beyond the reach of ruthless hands the sacred ark
containing the tables of stone on which had been traced the
precepts of the Decalogue. This they did. With mourning and
sadness they secreted the ark in a cave, where it was to be
hidden from the people of Israel and Judah because of their
sins, and was to be no more restored to them. That sacred
ark is yet hidden. It has never been disturbed since it was
secreted. {PK 453.2}

23. THE FINDING OF THE ARK
•
Law Preserved in Ark.--"And He [Christ] gave unto Moses,
when He had made an end of communicating with him upon
Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written
by the finger of God." Nothing written on those tables could
be blotted out. The precious record of the law was placed in
the ark of the testament and is still there, safely hidden from
the human family. But in God's appointed time He will bring
forth these tables of stone to be a testimony to all the world
against the disregard of His commandments and against the
idolatrous worship of a counterfeit Sabbath (MS 122, 1901).
{1BC 1109.2}

24. THESE 7 PROPHETIC EVENTS
• 1. Change of constitution 2. Satan personates Christ 3. The
Sunday Law 4. Devaluation of money 5. Crash of stock
market 6. United States national ruin 7. Finding the Ark
• A. Our prior knowledge of these events gives us confidence
as they transpire during our sealing time.
B. If we share this knowledge with others prior to the events
taking place, it will give them conviction and confidence that
Adventists are really giving the last call to mankind.
• C. This knowledge confirms the prophetic gift in the Adventist
Church

25. The Parable of the Ten Virgins
• 1.The shaken Church in the last days
C.O.L. 405 - 421
• 2. Membership half gone
• 3. Mara. 200 “THE RANKS WILL NOT BE DIMINISHED”
• 4. Rev. 7:3 Hold – Tarrying time - Sealing
• 4. REV. 7:9 AFTER THIS…… after the sealing of the
144,000 .. + A great multitude – no man could
number - in white robes - also sealed

26. A GREAT MULTITUDE
• 7:9 After this (after the sealing of the
144,000) I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all nations,
and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands;
• 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb.

27. Maranatha 261
Rev. 7:10
• Of the number of them that shall be sealed will be
those who have come from every nation and
kindred and tongue and people. From every country
will be gathered men and women who will stand
before the throne of God and before the Lamb,
crying, "Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb.”
After the sealing of the 144,000, the firstfruits,
this great multitude is also sealed.

28. Revived Laodicea
• Revelation 18:4 “And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
• Laodicea gives the last call to Babylonian
Christians. Their prophetic role.
• What are the results?
• A great multitude that can’t be numbered!!!

29. Revelation 7:9
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all nations,
and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands;
Here are the results of the “world wide,”
propagation of the 144,000, the firstfruits.

30. THE QUESTION - Rev. 6:17
“Who shall be able to stand?”
• 1. The shaken sealed world wide Church
144,000 – A spiritual number – millions
2. The great shaking – 1 Peter 4:17 the sealed Church
3. A great multitude – also sealed in addition to the
144,000
• Verse 9 After this – after the sealing of the 144,000

31. OUR PROBLEM AREA
• The Sealing: The sealed have gotten the victory over
sin – (the beast – the image = One composite)
• COMPARE
• Children of Israel – unbelief – lacked faith couldn’t go
into the promised land – died in the wilderness.
• What about us? Are we in a wilderness experience?
slowly dying off? Generation after generation, since
1888?
• We must overcome ,to get out of this wilderness.
Will this generation make it?

32. Urgent Importance
• The Lord has set before me matters which are of urgent
importance for the present time, and which reach into the
future. . . . I was assured that there was no time to lose. The
appeals and warnings must be given. Our churches must be
aroused, must be instructed, that they may give the warning
to all whom they can possibly reach, declaring that the sword
is coming, that the Lord's anger upon a profligate world will
not long be deferred. I was shown that many would listen to
the warning. Their minds would be prepared to discern the
very things that it pointed out to them. {3SM 413.2}

33. How?
• We know we can’t overcome sin.
• Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him,
• Jesus will not co-reign with Satan
• We have the freedom of choice
• We have to make strong determined choices every
day
• We may fail at times – fight the good fight

34. The Sealing
• The sealing is taking place already on the Church
• The final sealing is at the close of probation, when the
plagues start to fall. At this juncture the judgment on the
world is over.
• 1 Peter 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?
• The preparation for the sealing judgment on the house of
God is over when the Sunday Law is enforced.
• Therefore you can’t wait for the Sunday Law
to get ready!

35. Acts 3:19
• 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord;

36. G. C. 485
• But the apostle Peter distinctly states that the
sins of believers will be blotted out "when the
times of refreshing (the latter rain) shall come
from the presence of the Lord; Acts 3:19.
• SINS BLOTTED OUT: OF THE SANCTUARY
• Your name will come up before the Sunday
Law.

38. YOU ARE NOT ALONE
• With Jesus in the heart and being led by the
Spirit we have a win win situation.
• The Church is going through.
• The unnumbered millions will be added to us
via the grand finale.
• What a battle and what a victory
• The Universe is watching

39. The Light AT The End Of The Tunnel
•
•
•
•
Rev. 6:17 Who shall be able to stand?
THE ANSWER REV. 7
1. The world wide sealed 144,000 - the Church
2. The great multitude no man could number are
sealed also.
• Verses 9 + 10 go together Mara. 261 sealed
• Changes into a heavenly scene. Before the Throne

40. ANOTHER QUESTION
• Verse 13 Who are these in white robes?
Compare verse 9 and 13 Those in white
robes…. Sealed
• Verse 13 Where did they come from?
• Verse 14 They came out of the great
tribulation – The final conflict – Though the
plagues ,they have on that white robe
• Translated!!!
This is Laodicea!!!

41. THEREFORE
• Verse 15 “Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve him day and night in his temple: (247) and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
• This is Laodicea Triumphant!!
• Laodicea will hold a position in The Throne Room that no one
in the entire Universe can aspire to. AWESOME!
• This is last day Laodicea, SEALED!!!
• You have to have the last day seal for this position, before the
throne
• We have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
• WE are now to be preparing for that Throne Room position.
• If this doesn’t inspire you to be an overcomer nothing will.

42. Sons And Daughters p.7
• Sons and Daughters page 7 “God created man a
superior being; he alone is formed in the image of
God, and is capable of partaking of the divine
nature, of cooperating with his Creator and
executing His plans.” (2 Peter 1:4)
• The plans for the grand finale!!!
• God’s future heavenly plans!!!

43. Joint Heirs
• Your heavenly Father proposes to make you a
member of the royal family, that through His
exceeding great and precious promises you may be
a partaker of the divine nature. P. 14
• We are to be members of the royal family, adopted.
This is a status no others have.
• "Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ,"--what an
exalted, dignified position! (S. D. P.15

44. An Honor Exceeding
• This is the mystery of godliness. That Christ should take
human nature, and by a life of humiliation elevate man in
the scale of moral worth with God: that He should carry His
adopted nature to the throne of God, and there present His
children to the Father, to have conferred upon them an
honor exceeding that conferred upon the angels,--this is the
marvel of the heavenly universe, the mystery into which
angels desire to look. This is love that melts the sinner's
heart. {SD 22.4}

45. Man Glorified
• As God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus' coming,
and delivered the everlasting covenant to His
people, He spoke one sentence, and then paused,
while the words were rolling through the earth. The
Israel of God stood with their eyes fixed upward,
listening to the words as they came from the mouth
of Jehovah and rolled through the earth like peals
of loudest thunder. It was awfully solemn. At the
end of every sentence the saints shouted, "Glory!
Hallelujah!"

46. MAN GLORIFIED
• Their countenances were lighted up with the glory
of God, and they shone with glory as did the face of
Moses when he came down from Sinai. The wicked
could not look upon them for the glory. And when
the never-ending blessing was pronounced on those
who had honored God in keeping His Sabbath holy,
there was a mighty shout of victory over the beast
and over his image. {EW 285.2}

47. OUR DESTINY
•
•
•
•
•
•
Let us think of our destiny for a few minutes. We are destined to live at
the center of the Universe, in the same city that the Father and the Son
and all the holy angels live in.
Rev. 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, Who are
these (BEFORE THE THRONE) which are arrayed in white robes? (V.9)
and where did they come from?
And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they
which came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him
day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell
among them.”
REV. 3:21 SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE….. Laodicea!!
This is our eternal destiny, before the throne, day and night, (24-7) a
position above all the angels.

48. “THAT I MAY KNOW HIM”
P.91
• “GOD PLACES BEFORE HIM THE HIGHTEST OF
AMBITION –
• (1) A SPOTLESS WHITE ROBE
• (2) A CROWN STUDDED WITH JEWELS,
• (3) A SCEPTER,
• (4) A THRONE OF GLORY, (Rev. 20:4)
• (5) HONOR THAT IS AS ENDURING AS THE THRONE
OF JEHOVAH.”
This is Laodicea triumphant!!!

49. Remember
• When Jesus comes there will be two groups that He
will take to heaven.
• Those who are translated without seeing death
• Those who are resurrected
• Lets be determined to be in the translated group
who have the greater eternal reward above all
others before the Throne on a throne honored
• Hallelujah !!!
• This is sealed Laodicea – Triumphant at last!!!
• THIS IS YOUR FUTURE!!!
