Besides the trickiness of figuring out who the ostensibly symbolic seven churches refer to, I'm left wondering why would the prophecy end with the lukewarm church? It seems it would end with Philadelphia. Lee taught that Laodicea was the "degraded Philadelphia." But if the progression ends there, how does that work? Kind of a sad ending. Of course, Lee fudged and believed something came after the seventh church, namely his movement. Yippee! But, oops, when that also degraded, now what?

It's just like another of those disappointing predictions of Jesus's return. (Cue Bullwinkle saying, "Thith time for thure!"). You're left feeling "Darn! Fell for it again!"
