Every one of 7 letters to the 7 Churches that are found in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, ends with the same phrase. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” It does not say “what the Spirit says to the church” but “what the Spirit says to the churches”.

Jesus Christ, the author of these letters and the book of Revelation, did not write these letters to go separately to each church. All 7 letters went to all of the churches, so they all read what the Lord Jesus was saying about the church just down the road, so they must have been anxious about the one that was addressed to them.

Laodicea is a church that is characterized by lukewarmness that is typical of unsaved or unregenerate people.

Laodicea has the grim distinction of being the only church where Christ has nothing good to say about anything. The church has simply no redeeming feature. This is the false church, an unredeemed church.
