User: Dr. Robert Murray. The Seven Churches And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me fear not; I am The First and the Last. I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold I am alive for evermore. And having the keys of hell and of death. write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angle of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks which thou saw are the seven churches. " (Revelation 1:17-20).

And so it was that the Apostle John, while exiled by the Romans (see Ancient Empirs - Rome) to the island of patmos, was given to write the Revelation - the last book of the Bible that is basically stating very clear about the many wondrous and spectacular events to come upon this planet that is known as earth. The seven churches ( Revelatio chapter 2 and 3) are located in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, were listed in the geographical ordwe along an ancient triangular highway route in what is called Turkey, touching on the Aegean Sea.

The island of Patmos was just off the coast.
