Nothing shall remain the same. Eze. 21:27c NKJV. As in that day, the Lord was about to establish a great change in the conditions which prevailed, so in the immediate future there will come drastic changes to the true church. Today, the church is a kin to the church at Laodicea. Luke warm, neither on fire for the Lord nor totally backslidden. A condition which the Lord totally despises, for He said that they would be spewed out of His mouth. This is an extremely serous situation which will fully develop prior to the second coming of Christ. A total lack of a knowledge of the word of the Lord, in the church. For the LORD gives wisdom, out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Pr. 2:6
How ironic, that this group are the rich group, a doctrine which is being propagated at this time with the emphasis of many preachers being placed on the wealth of this world. O, most definitely this is according to the prophetic teaching of the Word, thus adding proof to the fact that we are like this Laodicean church and that we are living in the last days. Being a self sufficient church they unfortunately are quoted as saying, that they have need of nothing, that nothing includes the presence of the Lord in their lives. The Lord then gives five conditions which prevail and spoil all the joys of their riches. Worldly wealth, possessions, the latest fashions cannot satisfy. Especially where one has had at least a taste of how wonderful the Lord is. Rev. 3:15-17 The ravages on the spiritual life of one caught up in the web of riches may not yet appear, but then we are not finished yet.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. Mt. 6:33 The exchange of the Lord is incomparable. Spiritual blessings in great abundance awaits those who will seek the Lord in lieu of the things of this world. Rev. 3:18 His gold is eternal and will not perish. The white raiment is the righteousness of the saints and is a reference to the wedding gown to be worn by the Bride of Christ. The anointing of the eyes is a vital action, for now, more than ever before it is extremely necessary that the church has the pure teachings of the Word of the Lord, and not the ideas of men who feel that they have the end of the age all figured out. Anointed eyes will have a true vision of the Lord Jesus and will adhere to the Word without deviation. There can be but one interpretation of the Word, and that is His. Anointed eyes will see as He sees and will read with His knowledge and understanding. There is yet great hope for this church as well as the others for in His loving kindness He allows a space of time for repentance. Indeed, there is a great change in the church world coming soon.
