Fairchild, Levent Oral & Cenk Eronat A TRAVEL GUIDE TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES Levent Oral President Seven ancient letters are in every Bible. Ongoing archaeological excavations in Turkey help to uncover more every day, and help us to better understand the Revelation puzzle. “Can I take a trip to the actual sites of these seven churches?” is a common question. This booklet is to answer this question, and to encourage people to take a journey to the original sites. “Yes” you can. We are here to help you. www.tutkutours.com • www.globalsmyrnameeting.com https://thejesusconference.com • [email protected] 3 TURKEY Pergamum EPHESUS Thyatira Smyrna Sardis Philadelphia Laodicea (EFES) Aegean Sea Ephesus Patmos Revelation 2:1-7 First of the Seven Churches 1 Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand and who walks among the seven gold lampstands says: 2 I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars. 3 You also possess endurance and have tolerated many things because of My name and have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to youand remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give the victor the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in God’s paradise.
