If Revelation is largely concerned with first-century events, why was it addressed to seven churches in Asia Minor instead of Jerusalem?   This episode explores why Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea were not random congregations, but strategically placed churches living at the center of Roman power, emperor worship, military roads, trade routes, political...
