Christ In You

The book of Colossians ties in directly with Revelation 3 and the Laodicean era. The Apostle Paul was in jail, absent from the problems that were beginning to creep into the Church in the first century. Today, Herbert W. Armstrong is dead, absent from the problems that have steadily increased in the very Church God founded through him. God removed both of those leaders for a very important reason. He wanted to see what we would do individually when a strong spiritual leader is removed. In other words, God wanted to see how well we could follow our true Leader—Jesus Christ!

The Apostle John lived in the midst of a savage persecution. Many of God’s churches were being taken over by traitors. When he wrote his epistles, John thought it was “the last hour” before Christ’s Second Coming. In fact, it was only a type of our time today. Every detail of what John prophesied is now being fulfilled! John’s “last hour” epistles are mainly for God’s end-time Church!
