INTRODUCTION

ΤΟ

THE SEVEN EPISTLES.

THE Seven Epistles to the Seven Churches of Asia, contain the words of him who formerly spake on earth, and now speaketh from heaven; they are characterised by the same divine wisdom and purity, which pervaded all his holy teachings, while he sojourned among men. They are direct communications, and not through the medium of an angel. The Revelation of Jesus Christ-which he signified by his angel begins when the Epistles have ended, or rather with the opening of the first seal, at the commencement of the sixth chapter; for the fourth and fifth chapters only unfold the presently existing state of things in heaven, "the things which are, not the things which are to be hereafter."
