Maybe referring to these seven epistles spoken by Christ himself.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.
Kung Fu and the Catholic Lebanese poet, Khalil Gibran's poem "The Prophet" had a large influence in bringing me to Christ.Loved that show as a kid
I believe I have just been challenged.. lol. Oh come on Willie just go ahead a say it.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.)
Daniel...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.)

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.One other thing I want to share...I heard preacher on that video say that there were more than 7 churches.

Ohhh that just brings up another question .....is this where people get the idea tha Revelation is specifically addressed to the Jewish people only?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.
Well Daniel is the only book that parallels the book of Revelation that I am aware of anyway.Ohhh that just brings up another question .....is this where people get the idea tha Revelation is specifically addressed to the Jewish people only?
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.Ohhh that just brings up another question .....is this where people get the idea tha Revelation is specifically addressed to the Jewish people only?
Willie this just does not compute....so the Gentile churches have no part of Revelation?Because it was. It may apply to the entire world, but it WAS "addressed" to a specific group.

Never mind...I just reread what you wrote.Willie this just does not compute....so the Gentile churches have no part of Revelation?
Willies right there’s another oneWell Daniel is the only book that parallels the book of Revelation that I am aware of anyway.
It would have to be Exodus...when the Israelis were freed from captivity..Willies right there’s another one
Read it again… and this time without interjecting preconceived notions when you happen to see one of your "trigger words." LOLWillie this just does not compute....so the Gentile churches have no part of Revelation?
