The Book of Revelation's traditional understanding teaches that chapters 1, 2, and 3 apply to us, the church, the Body of Christ. And everything from chapter 4 thru 22 is yet future. But are the seven letters in chapters two and three relevant to the Body of Christ or future churches, assemblies, of Jews in the 7-year Tribulation? Remember, the apostle John is an apostle to the circumcision, Israel, not the Body of Christ as clearly stated in Galatians 2:9.John's apostleship to Israel is problematic for some Christians as your pastors and teachers have told you that the New Testament is for us, the church. But, is that mere church tradition? Do New Testament scriptures support that assumption? Since Peter, James, and John were apostles to Israel, the circumcision, John would be writing to those whom his apostleship dictated, Israel, the Jews. The gospel of John, 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Revelation were written to Israel. However, we should not ignore these books as they contain a great deal of valuable information about God's plan for the ages and Jesus' ministry. But we do not derive church doctrine from the writings of John. Our doctrine rests in the hands of Paul. In this writing, we will discover the correct intended audience for the book of Revelation.
