James White / 7 Churches SERIES PAGE
Repent;
or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Revelation 2:16

(1.) The entire book of Revelation is addressed to the seven churches. " I, Jesus, have
sent mine angel to testify these things in the churches, " What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches." Chaps. 1 : 3, 11, 19 22:16,18,19
 (2.) Most of the book relates to events then in the future, with which the Christians of John's day had no connection whatever. 
 (3.) The seven addresses of the second and third chapters of Revelation were no more applicable to the Christians in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, than to the other churches in Asia Minor, or those of any other country
 (4.) The grand design of the book of Revelation is to foretell future events, with which the church should be connected in the Christian age. "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass." Chap. 1:1. In a few instances, past and present events are mentioned in his book, as in chap. 12 :1-5, but in all such cases the past and present are alluded to only to introduce future events, which in every case are the burden of the prophecy. 
 (5.) The seven addresses to the churches do have fitness to seven periods of the Christian age, while the harmony of revelation and reason forbid the application of some portions of the seven addresses to the Christians of John's day. James White
