There is a challenge for world supremacy. There are three facets of this false religious structure establishing. One is a European centered system for which Rome is trying to gain control. Another one is a secular system which the United States thinks it can control. From that system this internationalist economy will seek to operate. The third system is an Asian system which is developing now. We will call it in biblical terms ‘the union of the kings of the Easts’. The words in Revelation are anatoli helios, which means Kings of the Rising Sun, not kings of the East. However, it will be centered on the Eastern China complex with Japan. That was within eight years, putting 1.5 million people under political surveillance. The structure of the mentality of this fifth seal is all consuming. In the Last Days, as it says: Revelation 6:11 … when they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer for the number of their fellow servants and brethren should be complete who were to be killed as they themselves had been killed. This white robe is of martyrdom. Revelation 3:14-22 And to the angel of the church in La-odicea write: `The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of Gods creation. 15 `I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. (22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.) (RSV) This Laodicean system is in fact part of the system of the Last Days. When we read the promises to the Churches in Revelation we will see that there are four churches extant at the coming of the Messiah. Three are gone and there are four in existence: Thyatiran, Sardis, Philadelphia and Loadicean, in the order that it is given. The white garments are the same white garments these people were given, who were slain for the word of God and testimony they bore. The Laodiean Church values nothing and thinks it’s rich. It will go through the fire of purification so that some of its number might be saved. There is a promise to the Philadelphian Church and it says, Revelation 3:11-12 I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. The RSV then says: Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God. But the KJV says: he shall no more go out. The Interlinear says: “he shall no more go out”. Philadelphians are put into a situation where they are forced out of congregations which hold to be the Temple of God, because they hold fast to what they had. They dont have the weakness that the Laodicean Church goes through. They keep to the word of God, develop and grow in strength. They are made pillars in the Temple of God. They are the central columns which hold the Temple in place. Steel rods are put right through the pillars, forming the basis of the support structure of the Temple. The reason they are pillars is because they are stronger; they are the support. Understanding is central. One is not Philadelphian because of the name of one’s church, but because of what one does and says. It is the truth that protects us. Revelation 3:10 says: … because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming to the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth. This has been taken to mean there is a place of safety. This whole comment of a place of safety does not mean people are going to be put anywhere in one place where nobody is going to know where they are. It is simply a fact that we have Gods hand put on us. The Laodicean Church in the Last Days is faced with a series of problems because it is not willing to stand for the truth. It finally has to be spewed out into the Second Resurrection. The hour of trial comes after Messiah comes. What this means is that we will be with Messiah at his Advent. There is a group put out of the synagogue and they are dealt with. They vote with their feet – a small group. They are kept from the hour of trial. There is no guarantee that any of these people are not going to have to pay with their lives for the Faith of God. Nobody is going to give us a guarantee that we will not face persecution. Nobody but God and Jesus Christ knows what we are, whats inside us and what we can sustain or bear. We are tried by fire.
