7 Churches
John had to write seven letters to Seven churches. To see letters to these Seven churches, see links below.
| 1 Ephesus | 5 Sardis |
| 2 Smyrna | 6 Philadelphia |
| 3 Pergamum | 7 Laodicea |
| 4 Thyatira | |
These seven churches existed in local towns and today the towns can still be found. Today the towns are found in modern Turkey.
Background Reading:
Revelation 1:9-11 and 1:4
One Like a Son of Man
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
Rev 1:4
4 John,
To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne.
