John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES / REVELATION 1:4
Revelation is addressed to seven churches in Asia (at the time a Roman province located in what is now part of western Turkey). The church community, each one called by the name of the particular city in which it was found, was probably made up of various congregations in that city or geographic region. Though the specific issues addressed to each church were obviously very relevant to those particular congregations, it is likely that Jesus chose these churches because the same issues were common to all churches of that day. (It is likely that the entire book of Revelation – including the seven letters – was sent to each church; Revelation 1:11.) The word “seven” stands for a complete whole. What was said to these churches is meant for the entire body of Jesus Christ (all followers of Christ throughout the ages). That is to say, the “seven churches” represent all the churches from that time to the present, and the messages are still just as relevant for us as for the original readers. The “seven spirits” (or “the sevenfold Spirit” likely represent the completeness and perfection of the Holy Spirit’s ministry to the church (Revelation 5:5; 5:6; Isaiah 11:2-3).
