Hi Angelina, unfortunately I haven't kept any of the revelation studies, maybe If you have some time you can locate the general consent of them by looking at a few search results from a search engine query like:
"what the spirit says to the churches revelation"
it will take a while to find a good one, because many denominations centered writers do not want to honestly look at their own faults, the contrast what they think they stand for and what Jesus says they are part of is just a bit greater than expected.
Thyatira is "Papal supremacy" period having a problem with Jezebel, but also note the different words for the people of the system "in charge" and the common believer. Quite different views than expected from a reformed point of view....
from what I remember Sardis symbolizes the Protestant reformation period, but also note this comment: "thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead." Not a nice comment, isn't it. There is no life in them after all. Only a "few names" find a better verbal treatment.
Philadelphia: small but true church, no mega churches here. Holy, true, holds keys, opens and shuts, prayers that get answered.
Laodicea then the end-time church in general, almost no good words for them, and they don't even know their essential problem with Jesus. He is outside and knocks. Not inside as assumed. Lukewarm, wretched, blind, naked. What they have is not not what they think they have. How can they be so blind? Guess they are busy and operate in huge membership numbers. The mega church qualifies on all accounts if you read Jesus again when he contrasts the "MANY will say in that day...." with the "FEW that will enter" and the are on the "narrow path" etc.
