| 520 | |a Scholars studying cosmic conflict in the book of Revelation primarily focus on chapters 12-14, while the letters to the seven churches are often overlooked. In this article I demonstrate the presence of key elements of cosmic conflict in the letters to the seven churches, with a particular focus on the letter to the church in Smyrna (Rev 2:8-11).

I conclude that this passage contributes to the military narrative of cosmic conflict in the Apocalypse. | ||
