Initially, at that time, in the city of Philadelphia, there was another lost wonder of the ancient world: a gargantuan statue of Zeus. Within this city, is one synagogue, that gladly tormented the church there.
They've encouraged the inhabitants & pilgrims to join them in said torment, by way of mockery, boycotting, defamation, and of course, classic persecution. An easy way to discern the Christian from the rest, was their refusal to eat or drink the offerings to Zeus, or any other idols in general.
Yet, when Christ spoke to John in The Revelation, He spoke not only of their immediate sufferings, but of what we face at this present time, for the past century, in fact. Now that actual believers are calling out the infectious heresy within the Church, exposing it to the light, the need for a metaphorical, surgical, excision is paramount.
Otherwise, the enemy will wear the death of mankind as a funeral wreath upon their heads.
