Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 1 of Revelation. John identifies himself as a brother and companion in the tribulation, kingdom, and perseverance of Jesus Christ. His location on Patmos is connected with the testimony of Jesus, and the vision takes place on the Lord’s Day. A loud voice commands him to write and send the message to seven churches. The list of churches does not function merely as a geographical index: it prepares the structure of the messages that follow and reminds us that apocalyptic revelation arises in the midst of historical communities facing concrete spiritual needs.
