Can a Theory Hold Out?
The more I thought about what I was viewing, the more I became convinced. I admit my own skepticism, but knowing of several concepts that have been blatantly over looked among my dear fellow scholars, I began to wonder. But to prove this I realized I would require detailed notes on how this “dream” bore its fruit.
So now I set the stage :
First we have the seven churches.
Ephesus Smyrna Pergamum
Thyatira Sardis Philadelphia
Laodacia
Now we know these were seven physical church or more correct congregations ( gatherings) . As we study, we are introduced to a concept by our teachers of seven church dispensations or eras . But later I discovered that I could given enough time place each modern congregation of denomination or non denomination in one of those seven “schools”. But later on as I found I could individualize persons to each category (example finding a person of Laodecian practices among a Philadelphian congregation.), that I became aware of the personal nature as well in the blessing and condemnation.
It would be this seed that blossomed my curiosity. Could the same methods of interpretation be applied to the “judgments” of God ?
