I am Alpha and Omega, 
the first and the last: 
and, What thou seest, write in a book, 
and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; 
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, 
and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
Revelation 1:11/3:7Interesting, that in the history of the 7 churches (church history unfolding in phases through history) that the 6th church, that of Philadelphia is so named.
