This always presented a dilemma to me. If Ephesus could have their lampstand removed because some (or all?) have lost their first love, then what about the rest of the churches, perhaps excluding Philadelphia? Look at how bad Pergamos and Thyatira were comparatively. Was their lampstand also in danger of being removed?
Then consider some of the LC's. They boasted that they alone were lampstands simply because they possessed the right name. Is that possible? Could the Lord, the Son of Man walking in their midst, overlook all manner of sin simply because your registered name in the phone book was "correct?"
