Remember the former things of old: For I am God, and there is non else; I am God and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times, the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure (Isaiah 46:9-10). "The seven churches are literal churches from the first century A.D. However the seven churches in Revelation also have spiritual significance for churches and believers today. Indeed, the primary purpose for John's writing his letters was to deliver Christ's "report card" or the churches of that time. However, a second purpose for John's inspired writings was to describe seven types of churches (and individual believers) that would surface time and again throughout history. These short letters to the seven churches of Revelation act as quick and poignant reminders to those who call themselves "followers of Christ"
