- Seven Churches. The book of Revelation opens with Jesus dictating to John letters to 7 churches: Ephesus. Smyrna. Pergamum. Thyatira. Sardis. Philadelphia. Laodicea. In fact, John addresses the entire book to these churches (Revelation 1:4).
- Seven Letters. Each church gets a letter, which means there are also 7 letters. These letters are the contents of chapters 2 and 3. There’s a lot to say about these letters and their structure, but none of them involve the number 7, so we’re moving on.

The thousand-year reign of Christ will close, according to Revelation 20:7-9, with a rebellion against Christ as God and King. This will be occasioned by the loosing of Satan who has been bound throughout the millennial kingdom and who upon his release immediately prompts many on earth to rebel against Christ. Those who are deceived in this way hav...
The vivid description of the final judgment of the dead follows in Revelation 20:11-15. The implication of this passage is that the judgment concerns itself only with the wicked dead although this is not stated explicitly. The great white throne is pictured as being in space, and both earth and heaven flee away and apparently are dissolved. Before ...
Revelation 21-22 presents the glorious picture of the eternal state following the millennial kingdom. In Revelation 21:1-8, the introductory passage states the main features of this period.

Principle feature of the new heaven and the new earth is the heavenly Jerusalem described as coming down from God in Revelation 21:2.
