With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure. 5 Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire at night over every building ...read more

Contributed by Larry Cockerham on Jul 5, 2002

The seven churches are representative of the church as a whole; the number seven symbolizing completion or perfection.
