NOTE - The pointed, searching messages to the seven churches contain most important lessons of
admonition, encouragement, and warning for all Christians in all ages. The seven promises to the
overcomer found in this line of prophecy (Rev. 2: 7, 11, 17, 26-28; 3: 5, 12, 21), with the eighth or
universal promise recorded in Rev. 21: 7, form a galaxy of promises as precious, as comforting, and as
inspiring as any recorded in the Scriptures. See reading on page 156.
There is a land of pure delight where saints immortal reign.
Infinite day excludes the night, and pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides and never withering flowers,
And but a little space divides this heavenly land from ours.
-Isaac Watts.
