Revelation 2
RevelationSteve Gregg
In "Revelation 2", Steve Gregg discusses the seven brief epistles in the book of Revelation addressed to the seven churches of Asia. He explains that the letters contain both praise and criticism for each church, and suggests that they are not direct messages from Jesus, but rather portray traits of the churches. He also notes how different Christian denominations interpret the letters, with the historicist viewpoint considering them as a panorama of the entire church age, and dispensational churches seeing them as marking the end of the church age. Overall, Gregg presents a detailed analysis of the letters and their significance in the context of Christianity.
