Pergamos – Revelation 2:12-17

The city of Pergamos was a wealthy city but was called Satan”s Throne due to the strong influence of pagan worship. Jesus writes a very sobering letter to this Church which should be taken as a warning to the Church today. There were members of the Church who were compromising with the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Jesus’s warned of Judgment not only for those practicing these things but also to those who refused to confront those involved in it. However, Jesus offers grace and forgiveness to those who repent and overcome.
