The Rise of Laodicea

The Rise of Laodicea is a Biblical Investigation, of sorts, that seeks to uncover the Prophetic Nature of the first three chapters of the book of Revelation. It seeks to uncover the "pre-history" that Christ was revealing about future Church History and how it has actually taken place over the centuries. This "uncovering" leads to the very last church, prophetically, the Church of Laodicea. How is this last church related to what we've seen in the last 50 years, leading up to today?
