REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirteen - Applying Spiritual EyeSalve

 Jesus also sternly admonishes those Laodiceans: "Buy . . . white outer garments that you may become  dressed and that the shame of your nakedness may not become manifested, and eyesalve  to rub in your eyes that you may see." - (Revelation 3:18b)  They seek a cure for their spiritual blindness by purchasing curative eyesalve,  (note: eyesalve in the Bible in not separated and should not be changed)  not that of the local healers, but of the kind that only Jesus can provide.  This would help them to get spiritual discernment, helping them to walk in "the path of righteous ones"  with their beaming eyes focused on doing God's will.  (Proverbs 4:18, 25-27)  Thus, they may put on, not the costly garments of black wool made locally in Laodicea, but fine "white outer garments" that proclaim   their privileged identity as followers of Jesus Christ. - Compare 1 TIMOTHY 2:9, 10; 1 PETER 3:3-5.
