Revelation 1:11

saying,
Write down immediately what you see (your vision) in a scroll and send it to the seven churches –
to Ephesus [John's home church] and
to Smyrna and
to Pergamon and
to Thyatira and
to Sardis and
to Philadelphia and
to Laodicea.
[These seven churches are well known to John. They are located in Asia Minor, present-day Turkey, 100 miles east of the island of Patmos. The churches are all located along the inland highway connecting the cities, starting in the coastal city of Ephesus. John repeats the words "and" and "to" seven times. This rhetorical device, with its excessive use of a conjunction, is called polysyndeton and reinforces each word in the list – it is a letter to seven churches, and they are all important and each one is emphasized.
The number seven represents perfection and wholeness. There were more churches in this area, for example in the cities of Miletus, Colosse and Hierapolis, see Col. 4:13. The seven churches speak to the whole church of God. The letters had a timely message for these churches at that time, but they also speak to the church throughout history and in our time. This is the first of twelve occasions when John is instructed to write down what he sees, see Rev 1:19; 2:1, 8, 12, 18; 3:1, 7, 14; 14:13; 19:9; 21:5.]
