As with previous messages, Jesus ends this one with words of exhortation: "Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregation." (Revelation 3:22) We are living deep in the time of the end. The evidence is all around all that Christendom is cold as far as love in concerned. In contrast, may we as true Christians respond fervently to Jesus' message to the congregation in Laodicea, yes, to all seven of our Lord's messages to the congregations. This we can do by having a vigorous share in the fulfillment of Jesus' great prophecy for our day; and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the kingdoms and then the end will come." - MATTHEW 24:12-14.
Jesus' counsel to the seven congregations is ended. He does not speak to John again in Revelation until the final chapter; but he participates in many of the visions, for example, in executing Jehovah's judgments. Let us now join the John class in examining the second remarkable vision revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Next time: Chapter Fourteen/The Magnificence of Jehovah's Celestial Throne
