Introduction of the Seven Churches of Revelation

Seven Churches of Revelation Topical Studies
Jesus revealed himself to John and then instructed him to write to the seven churches. Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.

Valley Gate

Gates of Israel Topical Studies
The Valley Gate was located in the southwest corner of Jerusalem. It opens to the Valley of Hinnom which circles around Jerusalem from the west to the south of the city. This is the gate where Nehemiah began his nocturnal inspection of the walls shortly after his arrival in Jerusalem

Old City Gate

Gates of Israel Topical Studies
The Old Gate could be located on the northwest side of the city as the wall makes a major turn from north to south.  The name “Old Gate” implies that it was one of the first gates of ancient Jerusalem. It would have been first built when Jerusalem was experiencing much better times than they were during Nehemiah’s time. (2 Kings 14:13).
