Why are the 7 Churches in Revelation each greeted differently...

Trained to see the unseen.

It's an ageless theme:

One other thing I want to share...I heard preacher on that video say that there were more than 7 churches. The Roman Church, and Jesus Church are all I remember him saying....but what about the church of the Corinthians, the Phillippians, etc...why are they left out.
Something else He pointed out is that everything in Revelation comes in 7....7 stars, 7 spirits, 7 candlesticks, 7 churches, 7 angels, 7 trumpets, 7 seals, 7 bowls......and many more....how interesting.

Maybe referring to these seven epistles spoken by Christ himself.

Kung Fu and the Catholic Lebanese poet, Khalil Gibran's poem "The Prophet" had a large influence in bringing me to Christ.

The structure of Revelation also reflects the way another book of the bible is structured. (But, I won't spoil that for you. I am convinced that soon enough you will discover that for yourself.)

I believe I have just been challenged.. lol. Oh come on Willie just go ahead a say it.

The other churches were given over to the gentiles. But Revelation was given to John an apostle to Israel...not that the gentiles were not "quickly" grafted into Israel thereafter, but the two were scattered over one generation according to the great commission.

Ohhh that just brings up another question .....is this where people get the idea tha Revelation is specifically addressed to the Jewish people only?

 

[Waiting on him]

I spelled that wrong

 

[Heart2Soul]

Well Daniel is the only book that parallels the book of Revelation that I am aware of anyway.

Because it was. It may apply to the entire world, but it WAS "addressed" to a specific group. Just as all the other specifically addressed books of the Bible may hold lots of things for all people in every generation, they were each written TO certain addressees.

Willie this just does not compute....so the Gentile churches have no part of Revelation?

Never mind...I just reread what you wrote.

Willies right there’s another one

 

[Heart2Soul]

Willies right there’s another one

It would have to be Exodus...when the Israelis were freed from captivity..

Read it again… and this time without interjecting preconceived notions when you happen to see one of your "trigger words." LOL
