It's funny how dogma withers in the light of plain facts.

Like many of Lee's assertions, his eschatology is dependent on accepting his premises and ignoring troublesome facts that get in the way of wholesale acceptance.

It's pretty clear that the 7 churches represent stages of imperfection, but whether they represent prophecy is speculative, especially in the light of the fact that the last 100+ years don't fit into the pattern, as Tomes has pointed out so well. From this article they seem to be simply major patterns that churches or movement can fall into.

One thing is clear from Tomes articles. He is a scholar, and Lee wasn't. Thank God someone has had the courage to answer Lee's errors in a scholarly way.
