Revelation’s first sevenfold series consists of seven letters (or royal edicts) directly from Jesus to seven of His churches in Asia Minor. For the most part, each letter follows a similar pattern: description of Christ, divine diagnosis “I know”, warning against compromise, exhortation to hear and respond, and blessing/promise for overcomers. These letters reveal that Jesus is present with all of His churches and intimately aware of their circumstances, challenges, and faithfulness (or lack thereof). 

These letters continue to speak into ecclesiastical matters today – perseverance, idolatry, courage to witness, obedience, doctrinal purity, etc. Though addressed to specific, historical congregations, the seven churches are also representative of the holy Christian church on earth. The plural statement at the end of each letter: “...let him listen to what the Spirit says to the churches” (e.g., Rev 2:7) implies that these are “open letters” for every named church to hear and respond to. Furthermore, the complete and holy number seven encompasses all of Christianity. As such, they apply to believers in every age. Finally, as a literary unit within Revelation, the letters prepare recipients to receive and apply Christ’s message in the ensuing visions (4:1-22:5).
