Revelation 1:4

Posted by joncooper

Revelation 1:4: “John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;”

These seven churches have prophetic significance. They were not the most prominent churches in the world, or even the most prominent ones in Asia. While they were all real churches, there is more to the story than that. Together they give a remarkable picture of Church history, which we’ll explore when we get to the letters. These seven churches offer a prophetic look at the history of the Church.

Also notice the description of Jesus: He is the one “which is, and which was, and which is to come”. In other words, Jesus is eternal, without beginning or end. Mormons teach that God had a beginning: they claim that He was born as a mortal and eventually earned His way to godhood. The Bible flatly contradicts this: God has always existed and will always exist. He is the self-existent one.
