I’ve read an essay presenting that view. Made a lot of sense. God is so deep that He often packs multiple meanings into His messages.
For years I have wanted to make a post about the 7 churches of Revelation. Thank you, OP, lovely artworks.
All of the 7 churches were located in the area we now call eastern Turkey. Get a map, place a dot for each church and be sure to do this in the order given in Revelation. Next connect the dots in order from Ephesus to the last at Laodicea like you are drawing a road; from Laodicea draw a straight line to Jerusalem. You will have drawn a hook, like a fish hook or a shepherd’s hook... If the Black Sea is a mouth, then Turkey is a jaw:
Ezekiel 38:4 (NIV)
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.
