457BC + 2300 years into the future = 1844AD. This  date reveals the  time frame  of the Judgement Hour and the birth of the  church which later became Laodicea. The early pioneers of this church were very dedicated considering the fact that they believed that the second coming of Christ was imminent in 1844. This was already explained above in relation to their belief  with regard to  the sounding of the 7th trumpet in 1844. The sad part about the matter is that when Laodicea lost that first love experience (belief that Jesus was coming soon),  this in turn produced a state of legalism and self-reliance  which led to the  formation of  the hierarchical and highly centralized denomination that we see today. Instead of reliance upon God she has depended upon herself and God considers her rich and increased with goods and not needing anything. The sad part about Laodicea is the fact that she could have either passed the second agenda corporate test of faithfulness before God or simply failed. Unfortunately  she failed, and our next paragraph presents Laodicea within the context of the Final Atonement or 3 Angels messages.
