The Vision of the Church

In Revelation chapter one, we read John to the seven churches that are in Asia. In verse 10, I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, write what you see in a book and send it to Him. Seven is the number of completeness and these churches which were individual churches were representative of all the churches in that region at any given time. Now let me take just a moment for an interpretation of the phrase "the seven churches" The word 'churches' means places where people gather with their families or close friends; they're called synagogues by Christians.
