Bible Question: there are 7 churches mentioned in Rev1 what are these Churches and the 7 spirits? |
Bible Answer: Greetings varsha, The first church in Revelations is the church in Ephesus also known as the loveless church. The warning given to that church was that they had lost their first love. Jesus was telling them that they neede to return back to their first love. The church had become more dependent on themselves than on God. (2:4) The 2nd church was the church Symrna or the persecuted church. This church was told to get their focus back on God. (2:10) Third was the church in Pergamos also known as the compromising church. This church was given the warning to repent. They became involved in the works of the flesh. Many had once again become involved in the doctrine of Baalam and the Nicolaitans. (2:12) The fourth church is the church at Thyatira or the Corrupt church. This church had let themselves be influenced by Jezebel. (2:20) The fifth church was the church in Sardis. This church was also known as the lifeless or dead church. The church was busy but not about the business of God. The sixth church was the church in Philidelphia. This church was known as the faithful chruch. This church was obedient to God. We should all strive to copy this church. The last church was the church in Laodocia or the lukewarm church. This church has become complacent running neither hot or cold. (3:16) The 7 spirits mentioned in Rev 1:4 is a reference to Isaiah's prophecy concerning the 7 fold ministry of the Holy Spirit (Is 11:2). Hope this helps. prayon |
