Two more letters to churches before we get to the illustrations: Philadelphia, then Laodicea.

Children of the Dragon, Children of the Lamb #8: The Lukewarm Church Of Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22)
As we enter another highly charged political year, I have been thinking how much the book of Revelation has to offer in terms of casting a discerning eye on how the forces of empires (symbolized by Rome/Babylon) challenge the faith and ethics of the Kingdom of God. To really understand the political broadside John offers in this apocalypse ("unveiling") will take some time. I am laying a foundation by going through each letter to the churches. Think of the letters as the frame; the rest of Revelation will paint stunning apocalyptic illustrations to hang on that frame.
