But, I’m convinced we’re just separated brethren in separte Christian communities.

I happen to agree. Yeshua calls out the Nicolaitans and false prophetess, warns Ephesus that they're about to lose their lampstand, calls Sardis dead, and tells Laodicea that He's about to vomit them out of His mouth--but He still walks among all seven lampstands and holds all seven stars in His Hand.

Shalom.

Indeed. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
