I also believe that the letters to the Churches in Revelations are prophecies for the church, describing its life cycle throughout the age. I would say the churches at Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum are gone, while Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea still remain today.

One thing to note is to notice that the words "He who has an ear, let him hear .." comes before the message to the overcomers in the first 3 churches, but after the message in the last 4. I think this signifies that the first 3 belong to one group and the last 4 belong to another.

Is everybody on the Wild-wagon now?

The Ducks would be advised not to take a 3-1 lead against this team. It's a pity, however, that we won't have a Ducks'n'Nucks Conference final.

I think I'll root for Minnesota to reach the finals, and not just because they will have the decency to start there games at a reasonable hour.
