in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 The Seven Churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 These are within the boarders of modern day Turkey

Knowing Some Geography Helps! Hierapolis – known for hot springs Colossae – source of fresh cold water Laodicea – aqueducts bringing water from long distance resulting in cold or hot water being lukewarm

Knowing Some Laodicean History Helps, too! Banking & Currency Exchange Med School / Eye Salve Black Wool Textiles

Revelation 3:14-22 (Holeman Christian Standard Bible – HCSB) 14 “Write to the angel of the church in Laodicea: “The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation says: 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.

Revelation 3:14-22 (Holeman Christian Standard Bible – HCSB) 17 Because you say, ‘I’m rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,’ and you don’t know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent.

Revelation 3:14-22 (Holeman Christian Standard Bible – HCSB) 20 Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me. 21 The victor: I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”

* Reality: They were lukewarm and didn’t know it * The Result: Rendered useless to Jesus * The Remedy: Repent & Be Committed
