In Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, Jesus picked out seven churches in John's day that were representative of what the Bride would look like at the beginning of the end time harvest. What He told those churches has matured into OUR day. We are supposed to understand the strengths and weakness of these seven churches and apply them to our own hearts, families, churches, and cities. There is much coming that must be overcome. There is a reward for overcoming the Tribulation, which will refine the Bride and make her ready for the wedding Daniel 12:9-10 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.-The Seven Churches examines each church to gain understanding of what the Spirit is saying to the Bride in this hour.
