The Seven Letters

My Friends,

You probably thought we were done with our exegesis of the Book of Revelation. Not so fast. We bypassed the first three chapters to get to the heavenly vision, which has baffled the mystics for thousands of years.

The first three chapters cover letters to the seven churches in Asia. They seem to be straightforward instructions and admonitions, not having great mystery in them as does the vision.

But has the world been deceived? Are these really just simple teachings to the churches or do the first three chapters also carry great symbology that needs to be deciphered?

I submit to you that the latter is true.

I thus throw out to the group a question that may have never been asked before.

What is the true inner meaning of the 7 letters?

Do not go into detail on the various letters at the moment, but give an overview of what you think the meaning could be.

The letters are found in the Book Of Revelation, Chapters 1-3.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
