Which End Times Church Are YOU In?

There are seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. However, only two of the churches listed there have members living today. These are the churches of Philadelphia and Laodicea.  The church today has 90% of its members in the church of Laodicea [Revelation 3:14-22 The Lukewarm Church] and 10% in the church of Philadelphia [Revelation 3:7-13 The Faithful Church].

The 7 churches of Revelation listed and explained:

Ephesus represents the church of the first century; Smyrna the persecuted church of the next two hundred years. Pergamos is the church from approximately 312 A.D. until A.D. 717. Thyatira represents the church of the Dark Ages until the sixteenth century. Sardis is the church of the Reformation. Philadelphia is the church of the nineteenth century, and Laodicea is the endtime church of apostasy, the final church, the church of our day. You can read more here.

Notice that, in the following scripture, of the ten lepers cleansed, only one returned to Jesus to fall at His feet and thank Him! 10% were faithful - ... your faith has made you well.

Luke 17:11-19 (NKJV)
Ten Lepers Cleansed
11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

Daniel 12 (NKJV)
Prophecy of the End Time
12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Revelation 13:16-18 (NKJV)
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 
17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

I am not a Bible scholar .. but I  am a Born Again Christian, praising and worshiping my Lord and Savior - Jesus - and asking Holy Spirit to teach me the wisdom God wants me to know. He has called me to be a watchman and intercessor. This is not a calling to be taken lightly or to be lifted up as if I am above anyone. Truth is I am the most unworthy person I know to be called to do this. I do not feel consistent but I know that by His Grace I can do all things through Him who Strengthens me. Please hear the warning! There are many that are calling out and so few who are listening!
