Revelation 1:4 This book is from John and is being sent to the seven churches that are in Asia Note: This refers to the province of Asia Minor, a part of present-day Turkey. May there be unearned favor and peace to you from God, the One who is in the present, who was in the past and who will come in the future, and from the seven spirits that are in front of God’s throne Note: Because the number “seven” was regarded as the number of perfection by the Jews, it is thought that this refers to the Holy Spirit.
