The Seven Churches of Revelation Chart
We are currently teaching through Revelation on Sunday mornings at our church. As we started working through the seven churches, I quipped to our church that it is like a dispensational rite of passage to create a chart of the seven churches. Though others have created similar charts and someone else will create a fresh chart in the future, here's what I think are my somewhat unique contributions to the world of charts on the seven churches:
- Color coding
- Churches with "mixed reviews" are blue, those with no positive qualities are red, and those with no negative qualities are green.
- Positive attributes and promises are green, negative attributes and warnings are red
- Simplified columns
- Many charts split the Condition column into two (typically, Commendation and Condemnation). I merged these, but color-coded them.
- Many charts split Christ's Commitment to the churches into two columns (typically something like Warning and Promise). Again, though I've merged the two into one column, I color-coded them.
- Modern Errors Chart - The second page contains my attempt at applying the teachings of the seven churches in modern contexts. This is an area that I'm sure can be vastly improved.
Anyway, here is the chart. Feel free to use it however you'd like and let me know if you have suggestions for improvement, especially in the area of modern applications.
