There are a number of places where Paul sent a brother or two with epistles, messages, or gifts to the churches. Paul himself cited where travel was made difficult by "road robbers" and the elements.
Actually none of my posts here were lighthearted. I have always wondered who the "messenger" to the church was. Unless another more suitable idea is brought up, I think my ideas here are better than any I have ever heard.
Note all the churches on the map below. Towns, valleys, rivers, roads, mountain ranges, the sea, and scales are included. Try to envision travel in those days, and how difficult it would be for fellowship between churches. Most of these churches are 20-30-40 miles apart. Have you ever walked 20 miles in one day?
Try to connect the 7 churches together. One writer said by "connecting the dots" we could see a rainbow arch from the oblique.
