Revelation Chapters 2-3 - The Things Which Are, Introduction To The Seven Churches In the book of Revelation, we seven distinct judgements: 1) Chapters 2-3 - the churches 2) Chapters 6-16 - the unsaved nations 3) Chapters 17-18 - Mystery Babylon 4) Chapter 19 - Armies at Armageddon, Antichrist, false prophet 5) Chapter 20:1-3, 7-10 - Satan 6) Chapter 20:4-6 - the world (Jesus’ millennial reign) 7) Chapter 20:11-15 - the wicked dead (Great White Throne Judgement) In chapters 2-3, we see God judging His own people first, before judging the world.
