Mary, the seven churches that Revelation talks about were the seven churches of Asia, not any today. We can certainly learn from the examples of what happens to churches when their passion for Christ dims. The very first verse of Revelation says the words of the prophecy were to soon take place. I believe most of Revelation happened around 70 AD. In chapter 11 John was asked to measure the temple, which didn 't get destroyed until 70 AD. There was extreme persecution then. What we need to do as Christians, is be ready when Christ comes again. We don 't know the hour He is coming, so we need to be ready.
