I think that we have come to the point in history where we can see in history that there were seven unique churches...



Still have the influence of seven churches...

1. Ephesus - Apostolic - Scripture still before us!.
2. Smyrna - Martyr - 10 days = 10 general Roman persecutions.
3. Pergomos - Orthodox - Still alive in many parts of the world!
4. Thyatira - Catholic - Influence still large.
5. Sardis - Protestant - The influence of the Baptists is still great.
***Tends to be Calvinistic in which I think there is an argument either way.
6. Philadelphia - Methodist / Pentecostal - Saved / Sanctified / Filled with the Holy Ghost!
***Is revival unique to the Philadelphian church age???*** Was this the revival of the last days?
***Tends to be Armenian in which I think there is an argument either way.
7. Laodicea - Materialistic / Charistmatic / Educated - Influencing a lot of churches these days. Even the pope said that his church was being destroyed from within. No external enemies.
*** Who is John Calvin? Who is Jacobus Arminius?


*** In which I wish that folks would get along better in these seven church ages!

We are very close (notice I said close as I am not date picking here) to the end of the church ages!

Influence of three of the horseman...

1. White - Democracy
2. Red - Communism
3. Black - Mystery unfolding around us.
4. Pale - Antichrist yet to make his scene.

The Black Horseman

"And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." -Revelation 6

1. Prophesies of economic challenges - The Euro will collapse during this time.
2. Prophesies of oil challenges - Note the BP oil disaster
3. Prophesies of wine challenges - People will not live as well as before.
4. The 'Black Horseman' - We now have a black president

Lukewarm and Lovin it !!! Relevant to the time in which we live!
