Wanderer, I love your posts, but apparently you've picked up a false doc along the way, as indicated by your mention of "Laodicea". The "Seven Church Ages" doctrine is phony as a football bat, having been spread in England by Darby, and in the USA by a KNOWN CHARLATAN, William Marrion Branham.

While not ad bad as some other false dox, it IS still false, and we Christians have no business promoting falsehoods in any way.

Otherwise, your post is excellent, as usual for you. (Good pertinent Scriptures, Art!)
