Rev 3:20-21 (KJV)

He is talking to his bride (the church) and unlike the other six church ages we find him here in the last church age trying to gain entry...

certainly he can not be shut out of anyplace He wants entrance. but as in the case with israel, ichabod can be placed on the door posts of many churches today. i dial in some tv ministries sometimes and just listen to great messages about how to gain blessings and very little if any about the bloody gospel.
