I was thinking about this very subject a couple of weeks ago. So many in the church, discount themselves from the 7 church category. They hold themselves pridefully separate, thinking God is referring to someone else. But after being out of the “church” system, I realized that each person that calls that is a christian, being part of the universal church, and is the TRUE CHURCH, needs to ask themselves what category to do fall in?

There is at least a 3-fold meaning to the 7 churches:

1) Rev 2-3 were addressed to 7 specific churches in Asia.

2) They represent 7 specific periods of church history that will take place before the Lord’s return.

3) They represent 7 generalized church types that have existed in each period of time, though the majority visible church in each time is characterized by the particular period. (IE Smyrna still exists today in places like North Korea, but we are in the latter part of the Laodicean period).

Very sobering post, gave me much to think about…This question may sound silly but are the Churches of Revelation meant to be symbolic only?
