Satan began his assault on God\u2019s Kingdom in heaven, but then took his attack into a new level in the Garden. All that mankind lost when we said \u201cyes\u201d to the devil there, will be restored at the end of the age.

The last of the seven churches Jesus would address was the nauseating, self-satisfied congregation of Laodicea.
