No, the Book of Revelation IS ALL PROPHECY. He used the Churches of John's day, to bring a message that will involve all of Church History, the Tribulation Period, the COMING OF THE LORD TO MAKE WAR ON THE UNBELIEVERS ARMIES OF THE WORLD, HIS 1000 Year Kingdom Rule, the Judgement Day of the Unbeliever, and even a Hint of what the Eternal State will be like.
2 Peter 3:8-9 (CSBBible)
8 Dear friends, don't overlook this one fact: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
9 The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
Revelation 1:19 (NRSV)
19 Now write what you have seen, what is, and what is to take place after this.

There is absolutely NOT one thing that implies the 7 churches equates to ages and God does NOT direct his word to FALSE religions.....I cannot believe you believe the LORD would direct his word at a false religion that is NO church and or never has BEEN a true N.T. church....that flies against numerous biblical principles and reeks of a regurgitated false opinion learned from another false opinionated source....

You have not studied Revelation under a very learned teacher like Dr. John MacArthur, have you. I will provide a link to his Sermons on the Book of Revelation. He takes 37 hours of to teach all the way through the Book of Revelation, and I have listened to all of the sermons at least 4 times. One thing you will learn about Prophecy, is all of it is RELEVANT to every other prophecy on the Same subject, AND GOD DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTRADICTIONS IN HIS PROPHECY, if you interpret it correctly. Anytime you think you found a Contradiction, it is you who has made an error in interpretation of one or both verses. Dr. MacArthur is President of the Master's College and Seminary, as well as Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church, and he has a Radio program called GRACE TO YOU.
He is the free link to the sermons that I listed to back in the early 80's.
