What the Spirit Says to the Churches - June 9, 2019

Jesus (re)introduces Himself to John, now seen as the Glorified Son of Man. He commands John to take a message spoken for each of seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. These messages are the middle part of the revelation (what is), following the presentation of Jesus as God (what you have seen) and preceding the presentation regarding the tribulation and following eras (what will take place after this). Though clearly grounded in that time and place, each letter has direct correlation and application to churches and Christians today, like all NT epistles.
