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

[Heart2Soul]

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

Well he said "structured" so that indicates Genesis

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

You missed my "nevermind" post..

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

Perhaps.

But that would contradict much of what is written: namely, the "things which must shortly take place" revealed to John, and the "adoption" of the gentiles reiterated by Paul, according to the promise given to Abraham that in his seed "all the nations of the earth shall be blessed."

Was Rahab the mother of boaz

Was Rahab the mother of boaz

From the Biblical record, it appears that Boaz's father was Salmon and his mother was Rahab (Ruth 4:21, 1 Chron. 2:11, Matt. 1:5.) Why do you ask?

Just weird, he’s the kinsman redeemer and mom was a harlot.

Sounds like Jesus' target group.

Have you gotten around to going through the Bible and taken a gander at all the misfits and losers that God consistently used?

Lol, if you only knew me.

You're probably pretty much like the rest of us here. So, God using ANYONE shouldn't come as any surprise.

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.

The seven candlesticks are... the seven Churches, our Lord Jesus said. So they fit a pattern that's actually in Heaven. That's what the seven Messages are too, patterns, to be applied to all Churches. One or more of the patterns will fit any Christian Church that it is compared to. So in essence, our Lord Jesus was showing us how to recognize what is being taught, what He is pleased with, and what He isn't.
