Seven Churches of Revelation
Introduction (pt. 1 of 16)
John writes his Revelation to seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).
In this series of videos, we explore these Seven Churches from their historical/cultural context.
Today's video is an introduction to the cities, how we "read" the book of Revelation, and an example of how John weaves the text of the Old Testament into the context of the cities to which he writes.
