Pergamos: The Church That Married The World (Revelation 2:12-17)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2023

The city of Pergamos, the next stop in our look at the seven churches of Revelation 2 and 3, was the capital city of Asia Minor (present day Turkey). The city was known for its political power, intellectual achievements, and, like the other cities, a hub of pagan worship. It was also a wealthy ...read more
