Terrific answer, Jos,   but I was looking for the answer in Rev. 1:1–

Rev. 1:1 — The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must [a]shortly take place.

One thing that really pops out to me in Revelation 1:1, is the five fold transformation of this revelation; found nowhere else in the Bible. Not exactly sure of the significance, but it must be very important for the Lord to have detailed it.

1. Ephesians 1:13 ¹³In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Here's a good one that shouldn't take too long. Read Luke 4: 16-21, Jesus is quoting Isaiah and in particular Isaiah 61:2, but stops short of the verse at the comma (,) in Isaiah 61:2 and then closes the book and sat down.

Question 1: This comma represents about how many years so far??

Question 2: Why did Jesus stop short of quoting the entire verse??

There are seven letters addressed to seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 & 3. In which modern day country were all seven of these churches located?

Bonus question 1: How many of the seven churches was something good said about them?

Bonus question 2: Do the seven churches seem to represent the history of the church age:  YES  /  NO

Okay, now Dennis, these questions are getting a little bit too hard.

1. 2019 if you believe  the Gregorian calendar... closer  to 2023 if  we take some known errors into account.  2019 is a good enough ballpark figure IMO

2.  the day of  His vengeance is "not yet".

1. 6

2.  Yes (one  caveat...i think churches of all 7 "types" likely existed in every era of  church history...but I do think we can see reasons to understand them as a historical sequence representing the dominiant "spirit of the age" ....as well as literal churches all existing in asia minor when John  wrote the book of Revelation...that's three caveats isn't it
