TTD Jesus stops before the “and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that morn;" ...because that part has not been fulfilled yet. I won’t come to pass until the second advent, after the 7th trump. … Did I get any of the answers right? Yes, where Jesus left off in Luke represents about + or minus two thousand years so far. I believe the 'day of vengeance" is one and the same with God's wrath and the Day of the Lord and the tribulation. At the time (and now) it was prophetic and future, and I'm thinking that's why He left off where He did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they were all talking about roughly the same time period. maryjane my personal opinion is that they do represent a sequential, historical representation of the different "phases" the church has gone through since the first century...but that is a debatable conclusion and there is substantial disagreement over it. You really have to get intimately familiar with church history to really even see what the debate is about. there's no "proof text" or anything like it to definitively argue the point from. I certainly wouldn't be willing to fight with anyone over it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philadelphia is the only church that received NO condemnation or correction. Ladicea is the only church He couldn't manage to find anything good to say about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they were all talking about roughly the same time period. Yes, they were all in existence at the same time in modern day Turkey. The seven churches seem to be symbolic and a fore-view of the church age from the first century to present; dates can even be assigned to them. It would take an extraordinary amount of cyber ink to explain it all. Perhaps you could Google "history of the church ages" or something for an explanation.
