Revelation 1:4

John writes to seven churches

4 I am John. I am writing to the seven churches that are in the region of Asia. I pray that God will be very kind to you. I pray that he will give you peace in your minds. God is alive now. He has always been alive. He will continue to be alive for ever.

1:4At the time of the Bible, Asia was a region which the Romans ruled. It was in the west part of the country that we now call Turkey.

God will help you, and the seven spirits that are in front of his throne will help you.

1:4We find the number 7 many times in the Book of Revelation. In the Bible, the number 7 usually means that something is complete or perfect. So ‘the seven spirits’ may mean God's Holy Spirit.
