The Book of Revelation, Part 21 - Rick Joyner
“John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne” (Revelation 1:4 NKJV).
How would you like to get a letter from the apostle John, the seven Spirits who are before the throne of God, and Jesus Christ? We did! That’s the book of Revelation. It was a letter to the seven churches in Asia (Minor) that are specifically addressed in it, but it is also a letter to all who would believe in Him and follow Him in the age to come. Seven is the number of completion, and these letters to the seven churches are letters to the complete church—all the churches that exist now and all that have existed throughout the age.
In these letters, we see an outline of church history written in advance. Now, as we stand near the end of the church age, we can look back over the centuries and see how what was prophesied through John has unfolded. God still saves His best wine for last. At the end of this age, as we see how His word was fulfilled, we can have the greatest understanding of the prophecies that were “seen through a glass darkly” and are now clear to us because they have been fulfilled.
