A Revelation to the seven churches Revelation 1:9-11: On a certain Lord's day, from the Isle of Patmos, John was commanded to write this to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea." These were not seven kinds of churches, but the church of Christ in seven locations. Interestingly, Paul also wrote to seven churches: Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Colosse, Philippi, and Thessalonica. As you read this book observe all the times John is commanded to write these things that he sees.

In this book John provided many word pictures of Jesus, possibly none more vivid than when he called Him "Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." Jesus clearly claimed to be God and to have all the attributes of the Almighty.
