I talked about the correct interpretation of Revelation 3:14–16. I explained an important piece of cultural-geographical background that illuminates the meaning of this bit of text. “Hot” and “cold” are not being contrasted with each other. They are BOTH good elements. They are in a class together being contrasted with lukewarmness.
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Rev 3:15–16)
