"Sometimes, Sad Songs can Say So Much... About the Kind of Person, We have Become"

The anti-Christ spirit is anti-Love of God, toward the brethren. This is clarified by the Church in Laodicea. "Laodicea" means "justice or right of the people"; and conveys the allusion of, "give the people what they want, what they think or feel they rightfully deserve or are entitled to having, without any responsibility or accountability from their end". This would be the opposite of the Nicolaitanes, which implies, "leadership controlling or dominating the people". Laodicea is all about the people controlling or dominating the leadership, and one another. The attitude of Laodicea is the exact same spirit of mind found today, in the modern-day church "culture":
"I'm rich, increased with goods, and have need of nothing... including you," or, "I have God, I don't need you." These are the anthems of the Harlot, not the Bride of Christ.
If we look at the Seven Churches in The Book of the Revelation as "dispensations of time" (and, we can), we find that this is precisely the spirit of mind, or attitude of heart, prevalent within the "church culture" which Jesus visited two-thousand years ago; and it also serves as a symbolic and grim foreshadowing of the atmosphere of a "future church", just prior to Christ's second "coming" or "appearing" in a Body of people, or "Bride". The mentality of, "I have God, I don't need you," is a total perversion of Grace; which, "said Grace" is the expression of... and finds its true Source in... the very love of God. So, the Father loves you... but no one else, including none of your brethren? The Father loves me... but no one else, including none of my brethren?
So, all that matters is having enough money, having enough goods/things and food?? We care nothing for... much less, love or see the need for... one another (except, of course, when we want something)? If so, then congratulations... our god is our belly, and we are enemies of the Cross of Christ! We are part of the Harlot. To go along with that, we also (probably) mind earthly things; glorying, boasting in the shame, disappointment and embarrassment of our past. "Let us eat, and drink, and be merry... for, tomorrow we die," became the vision and sad song of Solomon himself; after he had made marriages with one-thousand different women/harlots. But God has a Greater Son, Jesus Christ, who will never sing this sad song; and neither will we, if we are truly part of His Body, His Bride.
Revelation 3: 15-17 (KJV)
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot [*in their love toward one another, as brethren!]: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm [*in their love toward one another, as brethren!], and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [*they will no longer be His corporate voice, because they are hypocrites regarding His love toward one another!]
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing [*Hello, Hagin-ites and Copeland-ites!]; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [**now Jesus, that is not "love", neither is it "a good faith-confession"!!**]
Philippians 3: 17-19 (KJV)
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: [*these are "ministers"]
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
