When John saw Jesus that Sunday morning on Patmos, he collapsed and was like a dead man. It wasn't that he was old and weak, or overcome by emotion, John had seen that look in Christ's eyes before. When he realized what Jesus was communicating, it overwhelmed him. John saw Almighty God the Son, Jesus Christ, who was displeased with His Church.
Did you know that in less than 60 years, the original edition of Christ's Church had gotten to the point where 70% of the local assemblies were displeasing to God? That's right 5 out of the 7 churches that Jesus had visited were reprimanded and warned. Christ's expressed in 5 out of 7 letters His displeasure about the way that were living out God's plan for their lives.
