(Click on any button below)
Even though these letters were wrote to the angels or ministers of the churches we must realize that they apply to each of us also. Rev 2:7 says he who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. This means everyone.

Rev 2:7   "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who
                overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise
                of God." '
