Seven Dangers Facing the Present Day Church

The letters to the seven churches were dictated by Christ to the apostle John who had been banished to the isle of Patmos for ". . .the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Rev. 1:9). The seven letters were direct messages to the churches of John's day. The basic message to each church is certainly applicable to the church of all ages. It also appears that the letters give us a panoramic and prophetic view of church history from Pentecost to the second coming. Each church seems to represent seven distinct eras or periods of church history.
