Out of this order come the familiar seven Archangels which include
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and the fallen Lucifer.

There is no 'direct' evidence there. I was linking the indirect evidence through the choice of words used by Jesus to adress the 7 churches.
I for one do not believe that the 7 churches are strictly divided into 'christian' sects such as catholic, sda, mormon etc.
If it were Jesus would not address the doctrine of Nicolaitanes, Balam and Jezebel.
A church is a 'body of Christ' not a man made temple and the message is what matters.
Angels were created as messengers of God.
The Scriptures reveal that God created nine orders of angels:
Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, and Angels.
Out of this order come the familiar seven Archangels which include
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and the fallen Lucifer.
Lucifer, though fallen, is still an Angel(messenger). His message is corrupt and it embodies the message of the Laodicean church. The core message of the New Age.
John 6:70
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Job 1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Moving on, the following scripture is the reason I believe Michael is the angel of the 6h church which was the only one found blameless.
Daniel 10:21
But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Daniel 12:1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
the words 'pillar' and 'stand up' suggest the link between the philadelphia church and Michael, the only blameless church and the only Angel who held the truth with Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth.

This is a church totally disbelieving in the saving grace and truth otherwise it would not be called naked,
wretched, miserable and poor.
This church is the one that is trying to ascend to heaven like Lucifer did.
It is looking for another way out other than the cross. This church believes in being transported by tetrahedrons and ufos to avoid the lynch mob. They are truly the ones who are fearful.
God is saying 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame
, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
THRONE is the operative word. The leader of this church wants the throne of God.
Maybe the angel of the church is the "group consciousness of the followers??
Q: How do you make the connection between the angels of the seven churches and the 'seven kings'
Upon reading this, the idea I got was one attempting to justify the Prosperity Gospel in the face of this scripture
Which is why the message to the church of Laodicea is scriptural. And if, instead, it came from Satan
...and that He said this "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me
