At least all seven were valid churches that the Messiah loved.

Again, John was taken in spirit to the Lord's Day... we have not in real time reached the 'Lord's Day'...

As Peter penned in II Peter 3: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

John's assessment of the churches standing was done for future time... like even the here and now time. The Lord's Day begins the day Christ returns for a harvest. It is not as if the preacher class has NOT had the Instruction Manual... And Peter is the one who declared where 'judgment' begins... the preaching class of course. Peter 4:17.. Peter will not recognize what is claimed to be the 'keys' Christ gave him.

This reinforces my point regarding the Reformation and its descendant communities.
