(Revelation 3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:(18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. ~Every time you read the Laodicean church, everyone remembers one sentence: Lukewarm Christians! What is a lukewarm Christian?
There are many lukewarm Christians in American politics, and there are many lukewarm Christians in real life! Don't think that lukewarm Christians will not go to church. Those who go to church are good Christians! Why is it not hot or cold? Because they put their work and the world first! And why do they go to church? Doing business! The book of Revelation says: It may be cold or hot! Or Leng is the Antichrist! Or hot is to be passionate about Christianity! Looking at the Laodicean church today, there are too many truths in it. Many Christians go to the churches for their own business. They are not going to worship God, but going to the churches to entertain business. So, can we say: are good Christians who go to church every Sunday? of course not! Like many church leaders, many pastors are antichrists, including our current pope, who are antichrists. Many people will ask why the Antichrist can be the pope? Because the pope is chosen by man himself, not by God.
The Laodicean church was quite prosperous because their business was doing very well, and it was also doing a lot! They have black and purple wool, and eye drops made from sulfur hot springs are also produced there, so the Laodicean church is quite rich. "Neither cold nor hot" the most annoying character ~ hot outside, cold inside, the result is neither cold nor hot! The Christians are the most taboo against hypocrisy! The Laodicean church is enthusiastic about doing business on the outside, but there is no enthusiasm at all on the inside, and this kind of hypocritical Christian is most likely to fall. It is very interesting to describe the people of the Laodicean church here: they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. The Laodicean church was obviously very rich. Why had it become miserable, wretched and poor? And they were obviously selling eye drops and purple wool. Why were they blind and naked?
The Laodicean church reminds me of the current situation in the United States: the United States has the best science, technology, and astronomy technology, but the teachers and students in American schools can’t tell the "gender"! And why is the United States so high-tech and rich in knowledge, but the United States has the worst response policy to Covid in the world? Just like the Laodicean church: rich, but in God’s eyes they are wretched, miserable, and poor. Rich people can buy a lot of things, but they also have a lot of things they can’t buy! The simplest is ~ they cannot buy health, peace, joy and longevity! When a person lacks health, peace and joy, longevity no longer makes sense to their lives! And people who do not have health, peace and joy, they are poor and miserable people. If your money cannot buy health, peace and joy, then you are a poor person! I am really tired of watching American Covid soap operas recently! In fact, in a nutshell, in short, they use the soap opera Covid to make money! Trump and Biden are the same as money an idol! And is like the Laodicean church that looked rich, but wretched, miserable, and poor!
The place where the richest people fail the most-they only know how to use their money to solve problems! Without money, they would have their hands, feet, and heads severed! Children in the United States no longer know how to solve the problem? Don't know how to distinguish right or wrong? Many children have become accustomed to a favourable living environment. They don’t know how they should survive if there is no electricity, no mobile phones, and all inconveniences. And Biden and Trump are the same ~ always emphasize the importance of money, but there is no substantive method to overcome the problems and solve the problems! And the children are also used to ~ follow the party thoughts! The media asks people to eat shit, and the people obediently line up one by one to eat shit! They never think: Why do we eat shit? Because the first person has already eaten it, the next one obediently eats shit, and because everyone in the Laodicean church did this, everyone did it together, and they had eye drops and high-quality fabrics that can’t heal them for blind and naked!
No matter how good the eye drops are, people who are "blind in the heart" cannot be cured! And even the finest fabrics of "shameless" people can't hide their shamelessness! If the people in the Laodicean church were lukewarm Christians, it means that they were hypocritical, and hypocrites were the most shameless people and the Christians that Jesus hates most. Because these people can do anything shameless for their personal gain. They are completely blind. What is our minds? It is our kindness! Can the person without kindness be healed with eye drops? This is what God said: Let the Laodicean church buy gold refined in the fire, white clothes and anoint to brighten their eyes.
What is the gold refined in the fire? "Gold refined in the fire" is to be tempered, not that life chooses to follow easy crooked ways! The U.S. has been following crooked ways now. Obviously, each of us at Covid is more careful, treats more snacks and considers others, we would not choose that experimental vaccines, which makes the United States now full of poisons! Americans, like Laodiceans, are greedy for ease. They just want to live a comfortable and prosperous life. They are unwilling to take responsibility and think about others. When we are willing to think about others, we must take on more and do more things. It is certainly not a comfortable and easy thing, but this is gold refined in the fire that God gives us! The gold refined in the fire is the pure gold that can be used to save the champs, not as the dung that can not stand in the fire test!
The white clothes means that they must repent and punish their sins, instead of constantly turning around in their sins. First of all, the sin should be eliminated first, if they are unwilling to wear clean white clothes, they will blind their conscience as if they have eye anoint! Eye anoint are for them to truly understand ~ what is good! What is the righteous things? A person must be willing to eliminate sins before they can have the opportunity to do good. If, the person has been committing a crime, and then said loudly: He is doing good, then this person is hypocritical! "True kindness" is the foundation of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm without love is hypocrisy! Paul used to be a Pharisee and was once zealous for God, but his zeal was hypocrisy!
God is really kind! He really wants all people to be saved, but he doesn't want one to perish! If God were not merciful, the Americans would have been perished long ago! God cannot change His rules, but He does give us a lot of grace, and His requirements of us have never changed-be righteousness, love mercy, and be humble to walk with God!
