Sevens In Revelation

Some Sevens In Revelation from my personal study and notes:

Jesus Christ is portrayed seven different ways in the book of Revelation:

1. The Son of Man in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, in Revelation 1:12-16.

2. The Lamb in the midst of the throne, in Revelation 5:5-7.

3. The mighty Angel setting His feet on the earth and the sea, in Revelation 10:1-6.

4. The Son of Man on the cloud, in Revelation 14:14-16.

5. The Rider (the Word of God) on the white horse, in Revelation 19:11-16.

6. The Judge on the Great White Throne, in Revelation 20:11-12.

7. The Temple and the Light of it in the New Jerusalem, in Revelation 21:22-23

Sevenfold description of Jesus Christ:

Revelation 1:13-16 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, 1) clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 2) His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; 3) and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 4) And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; 5) and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: 6) and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: 7) and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Each of the seven letters in Revelation 2-3 follows the same general format:

1. Name (of the church that particular letter is addressed to).

2. Its Description of Christ.

3. Commendation: What that church is praised for.

4. Warning: What that church is rebuked for.

5. Promise.

6. To The Overcomers.

7. Prophetic Application (As revealed in church history, found throughout the letter.)
