"Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea" (Revelation 1:11).

The Interpretation of this Passage

1. Since they are identified as "churches", are the members of these churches "called out believers"?
   
2. Are these "seven literal historical churches" with unique messages that are relevant and applicable to individual churches today?
   
3. Or, is this a prophecy which specifically addresses and applies exclusively to the thousand year Millennium?
   
4. Or, all three?

(There seems to be so many relevant and needful applications for us, today.)
