Did the 7 congregations in Revelation apply Jesus' counsel?

    Does evidence exist, whether eye witness accounts or other means that the seven congregations Jesus admonished accepted his counsel and repented? Were there only 7 congregations at the time, after 65 years of preaching? (John presumably wrote Revelation in the year 98 AD)

    Revelation Book

    Chapter 7 - Ephesus - Rekindle that first love

    Chapter 8 - Smyrna - Striving to be conquerors

    Chapter 9 - Pergamum - Holding Fast to Jesus' name

    Chapter 10 - Thyatria - Abhorring the "deep things of Satan"

    Chapter 11 - Sardis - Is Your Name in the Book of Life?

    Chapter 12 - Philadelphia - "Keep on holding fast What you Have"

    Chapter 13 - Laodicea - Buy Gold Refined by Fire

    there were a lot more congregations than that.

    Those were just the seven churches in "Asia" or asia minor. Most of those fell during the expansion of Islam I imagine. Why they got the only mention in Revelation I have no idea.
