Revelation 1
John greets the seven churches in Asia.
John is instructed by a voice to write down what he sees and send it to the seven churches.
John sees seven golden lampstands when he turns around to see where the voice was coming from.
Near the seven golden lampstands, he saw one like the Son of Man.
John falls down before Him and is told to document all that he has seen.
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.
The seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Revelation 2

John writes to the church at Thyatira, telling them to repent for their sexual immorality taught to them by the false prophetess Jezebel.

He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
