1863
Laodicea was set up as a corporate body in 1863 along with a denominational name . It was from this specific date that she started growing in numbers (becoming rich and increased with goods) as stated in Revelation 3:16.

1888
Even though Laodicea received the message of the restoration of the Sabbath as well as the importance of obedience to God’s precepts in the form of the 10 commandments she became legalistic and luke warm as well as rich and increased with goods. It was in the year 1888 that God sent her the message of his righteousness by way of two messengers,  Alonzo T. Jones and EJ Waggoner. Laodicea was told by her prophetic messenger that the message that was given to her was the commencement of the outpouring of the Holy spirit by way of Christ’s righteousness. Sadly speaking the message of Christ- righteousness was rejected by the leading men.
Harlotry and the formation of a House of merchandise:

1901 -1903 – 40 yrs after
During the 1901 general conference session the agenda was to establish a committee of 25 men with a rotating chairman who would not be in office for more than a period of 12 months.  By way of  his unseen hand  God would have taken control of Laodicea . It was stated by the prophetic messenger that Laodicea would repeat the same sin of ancient Israel during the time of King Saul when they chose to have a king over them instead of having direct ruler-ship from God.

1903 General Conference session:
A gag order was put in the meeting by a small group of men who took control and the agenda of the 1901 session was cast aside in order to bring back the General Conference presidency in the form of permanent chairman.
Prophetic messenger responds :

Isaiah 1:21, The once faithful city becoming a harlot:
The Laodicean prophetic messenger issued the warning from this specific verse and later stated that Laodicea had become a house of merchandise from whence the divine presence had departed.  This statement brings to mind when Jesus took a whip and cast out the merchants who were selling in his Father’s house.

The messenger later stated that Laodicea was to be weighed on the balances of the Heavenly Sanctuary and if not true to her trust the verdict  would be found wanting.  This was a direct warning and call for corporate repentance which is the second agenda of the Sanctuary and is found in Leviticus 4:13, 18.

1950’s
Elders Robert Wieland and Donald K. Short echo the call for denominational repentance during the 50’s and the call was given by way of a study  called 1888 reexamined. The first time that the Laodicean leadership read the document they stated that it was too critical of the church. The second time they stated that the fruitage of these documents was evil.

1952
Laodicean Worldwide Bible conference :
This global conference  was presented as a warning that Laodicean corporate probationary time was about to expire.  The main speaker was well aware of the fact that Jesus prophecy of Luke 21:24 had not yet been fulfilled in 1952 yet his observation was very important on account of the fact that he compared it with another prophecy  which is found in Genesis 15 (the times of the Amorites) .

June 1967
It was during June of 1967 that the 6 day war began and on the very same month the Laodicean leadership informed elders Wieland and Short that they could not and would not repent and any effort to do so would be useless. They also stated that they could not be held accountable for the sins of the men of the 1880s and 1890s.

Achrihou
A Greek idiomatic expression which is translated as until. This expression implies that the close of corporate probation was not defined by just one event such as the annexation of East Jerusalem by Israeli forces in June 1967. There would have to be another event to close the achrihou on account of the fact that this expression implies that there is a brief but definite period of time which is defined by occurring events the first being the annexation of East Jerusalem and the latter being the declaration in 1980 that Jerusalem was to be the Capital of a United Israel in its entirety.

1980
Swiss Professor Jean R. Zurcher alerted Laodicea  regarding the fact that a prophecy had been fulfilled. It was unfortunate that even Professor Zurcher himself did not understand the full meaning of the message that God was trying to convey to his Laodicean church on the world field by way of its presentation within the Laodicean Sabbath School lesson studies. 1980 marked the final year of opportunity for corporate repentance for the true church which arrived at the boundary or limit of her probationary time  in relation to the preaching of the Gospel message to the nations of planet earth. This does not mean that her membership as individuals are lost, it simply means that God has spewed her out.
