Revelation 2:12-3:6

Does the Church need to be overly anxious about heresies and heretics? What does God do with the occults and false religions? God is a faithful Father who will retain the fidelity of His Faithful Children to the end. He will always have Lampstands ready throughout the world, trimmed and bright among His people and angels who are His divinely directly and managed messengers that He holds in His grasp which He sends to teach, admonish, and strengthen His Church. When the Lampstand is removed, He removes it for a reason.
