Hi Pastor John,
This weekend was wonderful! I love listening to you teach. It amazes me, the knowledge God has given you and how you are able to bring it all together to pass on what you have learned to us.
I had a question at lunch yesterday. Did John receive his revelation about the 7 pastors in Asia minor before or after Paul said “all they which are in Asia be turned away from me”? Then there was another question from this thought, did John send these messages to the 7 pastors if he received them before they had turned away from the truth?
Thank you for your help,
Bro. Randell

Hi Brother Randell!
It is very unlikely that John was on the island of Patmos before Paul wrote that about the saints in the province of Asia. What John saw and wrote there came afterward, and he was writing to the remnants of faithful believers who remained in that province.
