The seven churches of Revelation are like a menorah that has seven lamps, and all of these lamps must shine at the same time.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
The Ephesian Church of Revelation is an image of Christians who left the denominations of religion. They left the denominations because they realized that all denominations were not created by apostles, but by liars:

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: (Revelation 2:2)

Jesus reproaches the Ephesian Christians for losing their first love: for love is always between, he who has removed himself from the midst cannot show his love to the brethren. And would it not be better to endure remaining in the midst of denominations in order to be able to rebuke - than to withdraw, depriving them of your reprove.

The positive side of the Ephesian Christians is their hatred of the Nicolaitans, of Nicene Christianity, who betrayed God in favor of Caesar and the pagans.

If we consider the sequential lighting of the lamps of the Temple menorah, then this will be a symbol of Awakening, or dawn. The first color that appears on the black night sky is red. The abundance of "Ephesian" Christians who left the denominations is the first sign of the approach of the Day of the Lord, the Second Coming of Christ.

The Smyrna church of Revelation is a image of people who will build the Third Temple, fulfilling the prophecy of Ezekiel, chapters 40-43. This is one of the two churches of Revelation in which Jesus does not find any sin. This church will be reviled by the synagogues of Satan, both Jewish and Christian. The 10 days of tribulation of this church correspond to the 10 days of the consecration of the altar (Ezekiel 43:18-27). During these same days, from the 1st to the 10th day of the 7th month of Tishrei, from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur, the elect from the four winds will enter the eastern gate of the Temple. And at this point the ministry of the Smyrna church will end, it will "die". Despite the fact that many will condemn the construction of the Third Temple, this church is not threatened with the "second death" (posthumous condemnation). On the contrary, those who built the Third Temple according to the will of the Father, as set forth in the Holy Scriptures, will receive the crown of glory from God.

This church is orange - like the clothes of the builders, like an orange, symbolizing the fruit of the spirit - truth, with sharp ethereal smells from the peel, but pleasantly refreshing to those who taste its pulp. The sky at the horizon brightens and turns orange: preparations for the construction of the Third Temple begin.

The Pergamum Church of Revelation is an image of Christians among the political and financial elites. There, Satan's throne is something like Wall Street. The name "Antipas" means "Against-All". The fact that Against-All was killed means that the Pergamum Christians are collaborators, they cooperate with any political regime - they cannot do otherwise. They also have to eat food sacrificed to idols, participate in the pagan rituals of Christmas and Easter. An example of such Christians is Susanna, the wife of Herod's steward, who helped Jesus' ministry financially.

The color of the Church of Smyrna is yellow: gold. The awakening among the richest and most powerful people in the world will indicate that the Day of Judgment is very close: the sky at the horizon is bright yellow.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
The church of Thyatira is the central lamp of the menorah, this church is an image of the ministries in the denominations of Christianity. It is the only one of the 7 churches where Jesus sees love. But here he also sees Jezebel, the false prophetic spirit, who invites believers to commit adultery with this world. To those who remain faithful in the church of Thyatira, God promises a share in Israel, Who will rule all nations with a rod of iron - compare with the woman from the 12th chapter of Revelation. It is in the thick of church life that such saints as the Apostle Paul have always been:

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19)

Where there is love, there is life, and the color of life is green, the color of the Church of Thyatira. The sky continues to brighten, the world ceases to be gray, the earthly vegetation becomes visible, the Awakening intensifies.

The Church of Sardis is an image of Christians who know and understand the Bible. The letter kills, but the written word of God keeps us in Him, helps us discern alien spirits. To the faithful among these Christians, God gives the white garments of the participants in the wedding feast in the Third Temple, inviting them to the next church of Revelation.

The sky is light blue, the sun has not yet risen, the Coming of Christ is near, but He is not yet here. The color of the Church of Sardis is pale blue.

The Philadelphia Church is an image of Christians elect from the four winds, who will be honored by God to enter the eastern gate of the Third Temple, built in the Judean Desert according to the prophecy of Ezekiel.

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. (Revelation 3:8)

"The Open Door" is the eastern gate of the Third Temple. It will be open for about 10 days, "aseret yemei teshuva" - "ten days of return [to God]". During these days, from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur, from the 1st to the 10th day of the 7th month of Tishrei, people in white clothes, gathered in Israel from all nations, will enter the eastern gate of the Temple.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. (Revelation 3:9)

The angel of the Philadelphia church will become equal to God: the Jews will worship Him (God forbids the worship of ordinary angels).

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

The Philadelphia church will be the only church of the 7 churches of Revelation that will be spared from the time of great temptation, the temptation of false miracles that will occur throughout religions.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)

The members of this church will receive the new name of Jesus Christ, which He will have at the Second Coming: ISRAEL. The "name of the city" will be Yahweh Shammah (Ezekiel 48:35). The members of this church will become the founders of the city of Yahweh Shammah, they will resurrect the lost tribes of Israel, which will come to life and gather again on the holy land. The territory of Israel will increase approximately 2.6 times, will spread to the south to Wadi El-Arish, and to the north to Khan-Sheikhun, the cities of Hama, Sadad and El-Qaryatein, all of Lebanon will become the territory of Israel (Ezekiel 47).

The entrance of the Philadelphia church into the eastern gate of the Temple will be the "sunrise", the Second Coming of Christ. The moment of closing the eastern gate will be the "twinkling of an eye" when the status of the people who entered these gates will change: they will become the incarnation of God, Jesus Christ in the Second Coming.

The sun has risen, the color of the sky has become deep blue. This is the color of the Philadelphia church.

The Laodicean Church is an image of worldly Christians. "Laos" means "people", "dike" means "custom" - these are people who adhere to Christian traditions. They are threatened by "Armageddon", a battle for material goods in this world. They are drawn to this "battle" by the "kings of the earth", the leaders of Christian denominations. It is in this "battle" that the shame of such Christians is revealed:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Philippians 3:19)
Armageddon. "Ar" (הַר) - mountain, "gad" (גַד) - happiness, "megad" (מֶגָד) - a gift from heaven, good, "-on" (וֹן) - a diminutive suffix, with disdain. "Mountain of prosperity", "Mountain of freebies".

Jesus offers these Christians to buy "gold": to accept the saints of the Philadelphian church, to support them on their way to the eastern gate of the Third Temple:

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. (Mark 9:41)

The sun has risen and the bright ultra-violet light makes those who look in its direction blind. The Laodicean angel is blind. The color of the Laodicean church is violet.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Note that among the 7 churches there are antagonists: the red Ephesian and the green Thyatira. Some are opponents of religion, others use religion for God, putting all their strength into it. Both churches are important to God. As important as the seemingly insignificant Laodicean church. Only the coming of the Day of the Lord will show us the world as it is, in the white light of the sun. Only all 7 lamps of the menorah are able to fulfill the word of God, awakening the whole world. Please do not neglect anyone.

So, we have figured out the 5 wise virgins. There are only 7 churches, but Smyrna will end with the coming of the Bridegroom. Philadelphia is the Bridegroom. And of the other 5 churches, there are 5 wise and 5 foolish.

When the Third Temple is built and the Bridegroom enters the eastern gate, the remaining 5 will be able to reunite with Him after the 6th bowl of wrath, when Judaism, the "great river Euphrates", dries up. The Jews will stop resisting the Gospel and will accept the elect from the four winds as the appearance of the Messiah, Jesus Christ at the Second Coming. This will open the way for the "kings from the rising of the sun": the remaining 5 virgins will be able to make aliyah to the Lord in Israel, for the wedding feast in the Millennial Kingdom.
