Sir I have a better question...After Revelation chapter 3 how many times is the church mentioned? Specifically how many times AFTER Revelation 3 can you find the word church?

Clearly chapters 1-3 clearly identifies church and churches.

I don’t know how many times, I never counted. but certainly the two witnesses of Revelation 11 are the Church. you don’t need to find the word in the Bible for the concept to be true, unless you buy the JW argument against the Trinity.

Actually the “Churches” in Revelation are local assemblies.

All of the Revelation is written to his Elect, his total assembly, who are mistakenly referred to in translated Bibles as “the Church.”

The “church” is there in every chapter of the Revelation, until the last trump when they are taken up to meet him in the cloud at the end of the tribulation, striking fear into the rest of the population of the world who are forced to witness their rescue before the wrath of the Lord is poured out in the bowl judgements for ten days.

Then after those ten days they return with the conquering King, to rule with him for 1000 years.
