In the Letter to Pergamum,Christ commends the church in regards to holding to the truth (Rev. 2:12-13 “You hold fast My name,and did not deny My faith”),but then reproves them for tolerating some false prophets. “The seat of Satan” (2:13) may refer to this city being a strong center of paganism with many temples on top of the fortified hill known as an Acropolis.Because of the strong worship of Asclepios,the god of healing,it became a center of medicine.The modern excavations of these places are quite impressive. |
