Jesus threatens to spew the Laodiceans out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16. The OT background is in Leviticus 18 and 20, where Yahweh says that the land vomited out the Canaanites and will vomit out Israel if they defile the land as the Canaanites did. Jesus is the land.
If Jesus is the land, though, then the “inhabitants” are being conceived as Levitical priests. The tribe of Levi received no inheritance in the land because Yahweh was their inheritance. If the Laodiceans are in Jesus, they are Levites. The sanctified dust in which all Christians dwell is the Risen Last Adam, because all Christians are priests.
