Podcasts about Pergamus

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues our study in Rev. chapter 2 verses 12 thru 16. Dr. Mitchell teaches about the church of Pergamum or Pergamus.This is the third of the seven churches which the Son of God addresses as the one who has the sharp two-edged sword. Dr. Mitchell gives us historical background surrounding this church which led it to be a worldly church. In this church, there were some who were holding to false doctrines. There were two specifically addressed. There was the teaching of Balaam. Also, the teaching of the Nicolaitans. That which had been deeds in Ephesus is now a doctrine in Pergamum. Dr. Mitchell elaborates on these in detail. The Lord would be coming to fight against these false teachings by the sword of His mouth, unless they repented. Let's join Dr. Mitchell in Rev. chapter 2 verse 12.

Aan het begin van het boek Openbaring vind je 7 brieven aan 7 gemeenten. Deze gemeenten lijken één gezamenlijk wachtwoord te hebben: ‘Wie oren heeft, laat hij horen wat de Geest tegen de gemeenten zegt.' En elke gemeente krijgt ook een persoonlijk wachtwoord, dat ingeluid wordt met de woorden: ‘Wie overwint…' De 3e brief aan de gemeente in Pergamus, overdenking door ds. Johan Visser, opgenomen op 16 februari 2025.

By Scott McKeon - The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 & 3 recor Christ's commendations, corrections, and commands to His church. We are encouraged to listen and hear what He has to say to Pergamus, Thyratira and Sardis.

Heute wenden wir uns in der Radiobotschaft der Offenbarung 2 Vers 8-29 zu, also den Sendschreiben an die Gemeinden in Smyrna, Pergamus und Thyatira. Auch heute empfehle ich allen Hörern wieder, diesen Abschnitt zu lesen. Vielleicht müssen wir uns erst einmal einen Weg bahnen, um einiges verstehen zu können.

Church Moves Ahead - Part 7 G’day and welcome to Partakers and our series Church Moves Ahead, where we look together at the history of the early church, and in particular its persecution. We are taking brief excerpts from an ancient book, Foxes Book of Martyrs. This excerpt is from Chapter 2 - The Ten Primitive Persecutions - The Fourth Persecution, Under Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, A.D. 162 The principal of these martyrs were Vetius Agathus, a young man; Blandina, a Christian lady, of a weak constitution; Sanctus, a deacon of Vienna; red hot plates of brass were placed upon the tenderest parts of his body; Biblias, a weak woman, once an apostate. Attalus, of Pergamus; and Pothinus, the venerable bishop of Lyons, who was ninety years of age. Blandina, on the day when she and the three other champions were first brought into the amphitheater, she was suspended on a piece of wood fixed in the ground, and exposed as food for the wild beasts; at which time, by her earnest prayers, she encouraged others. But none of the wild beasts would touch her, so that she was remanded to prison. When she was again produced for the third and last time, she was accompanied by Ponticus, a youth of fifteen, and the constancy of their faith so enraged the multitude that neither the sex of the one nor the youth of the other were respected, being exposed to all manner of punishments and tortures. Being strengthened by Blandina, he persevered unto death; and she, after enduring all the torments heretofore mentioned, was at length slain with the sword. When the Christians, upon these occasions, received martyrdom, they were ornamented, and crowned with garlands of flowers; for which they, in heaven, received eternal crowns of glory.

Pergamus was the compromising church. The message we get as we read Jesus' letter to this church is: “Don't compromise your humility, your integrity nor your purity.

The focus of this message is to help us assess our standing before God. We have backslidden from where we once were. Our commitment to God has deteriorated over time, for we have lost the concept of serving one another. The possibility of apostasy lies within every assembly and every movement. Gospel Assembly is not immune from losing out on God. The seat of Satan existed in the heart of the Body of Christ at Pergamus. Never presume it cannot exist in our midst, also!

MDC Satelit Galaxy Khotbah oleh Pdt. Agus Lianto - Letters to the Seven Church. Part 3. Jemaat di Pergamus: Menolak untuk Kompromi

Khotbah oleh Pdt. Betuel Himawan - Surat Yesus Kepada Jemaat Pergamus

Tuhan ingin agar setiap kita umat-Nya dapat hidup tanpa ada kompromi. Bersungguh hati dengan mata yang selalu berfokus hanya tertuju pada Tuhan, dan terpisah dari setiap pencemaran yang berasal dari dunia. Tidak sekadar menjadi pengikut Kristus yang menjalani hidup biasa-biasa saja, tetapi juga menjadi umat yang senantiasa berbenah dan menyiapkan diri. Bersiap sedia saat dipanggil “pulang” oleh Tuhan, karena kita sudah menyelesaikan pertandingan iman di dalam hidup dengan setia, hingga mencapai di garis akhir / finish. Kalau selama kita hidup masih ada kompromi, maka kita tidak akan mampu untuk menyatakan Kristus melalui hidup kita. Marilah kita datang ke dalam hadirat Tuhan, dan biarlah kita selalu dikuatkan di dalam hadirat-Nya. —Pdt. Lydia CSES

Wahyu 2:19-20 “Aku tahu segala pekerjaanmu: baik kasihmu maupun imanmu, baik pelayananmu maupun ketekunanmu. Aku tahu, bahwa pekerjaanmu yang terakhir lebih banyak dari pada yang pertama. Tetapi Aku mencela engkau, karena engkau membiarkan wanita Izebel, yang menyebut dirinya nabiah, mengajar dan menyesatkan hamba-hamba-Ku supaya berbuat zinah dan makan persembahan-persembahan berhala.”

Why. 1:11-12 katanya: "Apa yang engkau lihat, tuliskanlah di dalam sebuah kitab dan kirimkanlah kepada ketujuh jemaat ini: ke Efesus, ke Smirna, ke Pergamus, ke Tiatira, ke Sardis, ke Filadelfia dan ke Laodikia. Lalu aku berpaling untuk melihat suara yang berbicara kepadaku. Setelah aku berpaling, tampaklah kepadaku tujuh kaki pelita dari emas."

Wahyu 1:11 katanya: "Apa yang engkau lihat, tuliskanlah di dalam sebuah kitab dan kirimkanlah kepada ketujuh jemaat ini: ke Efesus, ke Smirna, ke Pergamus, ke Tiatira, ke Sardis, ke Filadelfia dan ke Laodikia."

In this week's study, I continue in  Chapter 13 verses 2-4.NOW WE COME TO THE WRATH OF SATAN 13:1-18.   The Result of the "War in Heaven" as regards the Earth at large.We have seen and considered the result of the "War in Heaven" as it concerns Israel. We have now to consider its further effect as it concerns the Earth at large.This effect is twofold, inasmuch as it results in the rise of the Two Beasts: The one from the Sea (verses -1-10).  The other from the Earth (verses 11-18).We now begin in this Chapter 13. I personally find this chapter 13 most interesting. I believe that this chapter 13 shows us what we can expect during this period of The Wrath of Satan. Matter of fact we will be creating another chart showing this Wrath of Satan. So follow along as we Unravel this chapter 13!!!!! We see in this Chapter 13, 2 different beast systems. We must ask ourselves who they are and what are they up to.Also we read of a “mark”. We need to find out what is this “mark” and is this “mark” in effect today?Now keep in mind that while we are studying about this 2 beast system within the 4th Vision of John, which is on this earth, that the 2 witnesses are preaching the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah and exposing this 2 beast system that is attacking the area of Jerusalem and the ripple effect throughout the world. (By the way, Do you see the Positive and Negative of this? 2 witnesses verse the 2 beast system?) Now these 2 witnesses, by their actions, aggravates Satan and Satan turns on the heat on those that hear what those 2 witnesses which are exposing Satan's plan to destroy souls, therefore the people that listen to the words and see the actions of the 2 witnesses honor and worship and realize where their salvation lies that leads them to eternal life comes from! Let me ask you something, have you ever considered why Satan and his evil co-horts place the 2 witnesses out on the streets? I believe that in Satan's 1st attempt by having Yahshua Messiah killed and placed in a tomb, which lead to the disappearance of Yahshua Messiah, this caused Satan to place the 2 witnesses in the streets so the whole world could see the power of Satan and the people can watch to see their bodies rot on the streets! The problem is that those of us that have read the Book of Revelation know the outcome of the resurrection of the 2 witnesses and then the 3rd woe which leads to the 7th Trumpet.    2  Power = ‘doo-nam-is' force. This is where we get the word dynamite.Seat = throne. Could this be in reference to Rev. 2:13? Pergamus!3    And I saw one of his heads, as it were wounded to death = this verse indicates some sort of ‘resurrection'. The phrase “wounded to death” means properly that it received a mortal wound, that is, the wound would have been mortal if it had not been healed.All the world wondered after the beast = Gave it their wonder and admiration. 4.   And they worshipped the dragon = The devil, in the idols, images, angels, and saints departedand they worshipped the beast = not only in a civil way, being subject to him as their temporal lord, to whom they give homage; obedience, and tribute, but in a religious way;Who is like unto the beast? = That is, he is to be regarded as unequalled and as supreme. This was, in fact, ascribing honors to him, which belonged only to YahwehWho is able to make war with him? = That is, he is invincible. They thus credited to him omnipotence - an attribute belonging only to Yahweh. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

Sunday, 26 February 2023   Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. Acts 14:25   The previous verse refers to the apostles passing through Pisidia and coming to Pamphylia. With that short note to cover whatever happened in that area, it next says, “Now when they had preached the word in Perga.”   This is something that they may or may not have done when passing through the first time. In Acts 13, it said –   “Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.” Acts 13:13, 14   Scholars either ignore the reason why this area was not previously evangelized, or the comments are generally in line with the thought that they could tell there was no visible fruit and so they simply ignored the area. But the context of the passage may explain itself. One cannot know if there is “visible fruit” unless he first goes forth and preaches.   The most likely reason is that they did, in fact, preach to the people in Perga, but because there was no synagogue mentioned, it means the only preaching that occurred was to Gentiles. John Mark may have not appreciated this and got bent out of shape and departed. Or it could be that without any synagogue, they decided to go directly to where a known synagogue was, which was in Perga. If this was so, then maybe the opposite occurred. John Mark may have said, “Why aren't we preaching here instead of heading off to Antioch?” Not appreciating the situation, he packed up and left.   Either way, it is in Perga that John Mark became disaffected. With that remembered, it now notes definitively that this time they did preach in Perga. With that noted, it next says, “they went down to Attalia.”   Perga was not on the coast. Rather, it was upriver. The location of Attalia is described by Cambridge –   “A seaport of Pamphylia, at the mouth of the river Catarrhactes. ... The Apostles had sailed, as they came from Paphos, directly to Perga, which they reached by coming some way up the river Cestrus. Now they go by land from Perga to the seacoast at Attalia, where there was more likelihood of finding a vessel in which they could sail into Syria.”   Of the city itself, it is next described by Albert Barnes –   “Attalus Philadelphus, king of Pergamus, whose dominions extended from the northwestern corner of Asia Miner to the Sea of Pamphylia, had built this city in a convenient position for commanding the trade of Syria or Egypt. When Alexander the Great passed this way, no such city was in existence; but since the days of the kings of Pergamus, who inherited a fragment of his vast empire, Attalia has always existed and flourished, retaining the name of the monarch who built it. Its ancient site is not now certainly known. ... It is probable that it is the modern Satalia.”   This is the last stop of the missionary journey before returning home. Nothing is recorded of evangelizing here. It may simply have been used as a transit city to return home, at least as far as Luke's records indicated.   Life application: Nothing is said of evangelization on the way from Perga to Attalia, nor of the time spent in Attalia. Nothing will be said of the trip from Attalia back to their home station. But this does not mean that the apostles didn't preach to the people. Just as with Perga where nothing was recorded in Acts 13, to say that no evangelization took place is what is known as an argument from silence.   This is a logical fallacy where the failure of the source (in this case, Luke) to mention a given fact, or facts, becomes the ground for an inference. Such an inference is then turned into a conclusion that the supposed fact is untrue, or the supposed event never occurred.   In this case, the fallacy would be, “Because nothing is spoken of concerning evangelization of the people in Attalia and on the ship back home, the apostles failed to tell any of those people about Jesus.” The only facts we have are what Luke has recorded. Paul and Barnabas may have had many converts in Attalia, and it may be that the entire ship converted to Christianity on the way home. Luke is recording what the Holy Spirit inspired him to write. That is what we need. Everything else is silent and we cannot add to the historical record by making unfounded claims either way.   The point is that just because nothing is recorded concerning such things, we cannot use that silence to say, “I don't need to tell people about Jesus at a particular time because Paul and Barnabas decided to not speak about Jesus at a particular time.”   We need to be willing to speak about Jesus all the time. Whether on a ship, on a bus, or at a stop awaiting the next part of the journey, we should look for an opportunity to open our mouths and speak. Let us do so, to the glory of God who has given us mouths to speak with. We are the redeemed of the Lord. Let us speak out the good news!   Most glorious Heavenly Father, we have been saved by the precious blood of Christ. May we not fail to tell others of this wonderful gift of healing and hope. Give us hearts to speak forth Your saving gospel message to any and all that we encounter on the path of life. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

09-07-22 Continuation of the study of the seven churches of Asia. This week is the church of Pergamus. Due to a technical difficulty there is a small section of audio missing at about forty-four- and one-half minutes.

We see that with each Church, the Lord gives a commendation a criticism, a correction. And if the churches, did not obey a consequence, a commendation, a criticism, a correction a consequence in way of Brief Review, we focus on the criticisms which needed correcting because the common denominator with all of these churches except Philadelphia was That they were walking in the flesh is they were trying to walk in the spirit. Now in John 3:3, Jesus said, unless you are born of water and the spirit, you cannot enter that as you can, that access the kingdom of God, in John 3:6, he said, the things of the spirit are Spirit and the things of the flesh are flesh. So we cannot walk both in spirit and in flesh.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Revelation 2:14-20, 3:7-8John 3:6For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery.

A Bible study/discussion on the letter to the Church in Pergamus - the compromising church

We address today the issue of Satan. Was he really a fallen being? Or was he created evil? How about Adam and Eve? We hear the same religious fairy tale that they perfect beings tempted by Satan and they fell into sin after they ate of the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Thursday, 31 March 2022   Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. Acts 6:9   The previous verse referred to the faith and power of Stephen as he did great wonders and signs among the people. Now, another group is introduced. Luke states, “Then there arose some.”   Because of the wording, one can assume they either have arisen to join, or to argue against, Stephen. Stephen is the main character of the narrative, and these now to be mentioned are brought in to define the narrative further. Those who have arisen are said to be “from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen.”   A short explanation of who these men are is given by Vincent's Word Studies –   “In Jerusalem, and probably in other large cities, the several synagogues were arranged according to nationalities, and even crafts. Thus we have in this verse mention of the synagogues of the Cyrenians, Alexandrians, Cilicians, and Asiatics. Libertines is a Latin word (libertini, freedmen), and means here Jews or their descendants who had been taken as slaves to Rome, and had there received their liberty; and who, in consequence of the decree of Tiberius, about 19 a.d., expelling them from Rome, had returned in great numbers to Jerusalem. They were likely to be the chief opponents of Stephen, because they supposed that by his preaching, their religion, for which they had suffered at Rome, was endangered in Jerusalem.”   However, Albert Barnes provides much more information on this designation –   ----------   The word is Latin, and means properly a ‘freedman,' a man who had been a slave and was set at liberty. Many have supposed that these persons were manumitted slaves of Roman origin, but who had become proselyted to the Jewish religion, and who had a synagogue in Jerusalem. This opinion is not very probable; though it is certain, from Tacitus (Ann., lib. 2:c. 85), that there were many persons of this description at Rome. He says that 4,000 Jewish proselytes of Roman slaves made free were sent at one time to Sardinia.   A second opinion is, that these persons were Jews by birth, and had been taken captives by the Romans, and then set at liberty, and were thus called ‘freedmen' or ‘liberties.' That there were many Jews of this description there can be no doubt. Pompey the Great, when he subjugated Judea, sent large numbers of the Jews to Rome (Philo, In Legat. a.d. Caium). These Jews were set at liberty at Rome, and assigned a place beyond the Tiber for a residence. See Introduction to the Epistle to the Romans. These persons are by Philo called "libertines," or ‘freedmen' (Kuinoel, in loco). Many Jews were also conveyed as captives by Ptolemy I. to Egypt, and obtained a residence in that country and the vicinity.   Another opinion is, that they took their name from some ‘place' which they occupied. This opinion is more probable from the fact that all the "other" persons mentioned here are named from the countries which they occupied. Suidas says that this is the name of a place. And in one of the fathers this passage occurs: ‘Victor, Bishop of the Catholic Church at Libertina, says, unity is there, etc.' from this passage it is plain that there was a place called ‘Libertina.' That place was in Africa, not far from ancient Carthage. See Dr. Pearce's Commentary on this place.   ----------   Whatever the exact meaning of the name, the group was comprised of “Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia”   The Cyrenians are those who dwelt in Cyrene in Africa, a location west of Egypt. This is where Simon of Cyrene, who carried Jesus' cross in Matthew 27:32 was from.   Alexandrians are those who dwelt in Alexandria in Egypt. A great deal of Jews lived there inhabiting large sections of the city. This is the location where the Greek translation of the Bible, the Septuagint or LXX, came from.   Cilicia was in Asia Minor, a province on the seacoast, located at Cyprus' north. Its capital, Tarsus, is where the Apostle Paul came from – as is recorded in Acts 9:11 (and as is noted elsewhere). As such, it makes it appear likely that Paul attended this synagogue and participated in what will be said in this verse.   Finally, Asia is noted. This is not Asia as we think of it today. Rather, it is the same as was referred to in Acts 2:9. It is a term that may refer to a jurisdiction according to the layout of the provinces of Rome. Of this location, Vincent's Word Studies says –   “Not the Asiatic continent nor Asia Minor. In the time of the apostles the term was commonly understood of the proconsular province of Asia, principally of the kingdom of Pergamus left by Attalus III. to the Romans, and including Lydia, Mysia, Caria, and at times parts of Phrygia. The name Asia Minor did not come into use until the fourth century of our era.”   It is from this synagogue, filled with people from these various locations, that men arose “disputing with Stephen.”   The word translated as “disputing” essentially means “to examine together.” It is rendered as “question,” “debate,” “discuss,” “argue,” and so on. It does not necessarily indicate any animosity, but it can. Or it can be a debate that eventually leads to an argument. It is probable that Stephen voiced his words concerning Jesus and they came back against him in a debate that will eventually lead to the forming of a charge against him. It is to be noted again (as stated in the previous verse) that Stephen was “full of faith and power,” and he “did great wonders and signs among the people.”   This is a key thought that certainly set in motion the debate.   Life application: In Christianity, there are Calvinists, there are Free Grace proponents, there are Baptists, Presbyterians, and Episcopalians. In fact, there are so many sects and divisions within the church that it is almost impossible to know them all, much less what they all believe.   Because of this, there are obviously disagreements between them concerning valid points of doctrine. In the end, there can only be one completely correct idea about any particular point. Is Jesus God? Yes or No. Is salvation eternal? Yes or No. Does man have free will to choose Christ? Yes or No. And so on.   The Bible is the source of our knowledge of who Jesus is. It is where we are to build our doctrine from. Anything that is said about our theology and doctrine must find its source there or be in accord with what is said there. If it isn't, then it is something that came out of the head of man.   The more one knows the Bible, the less likely it is that he will be duped into believing something incorrect. It is still possible, but it is less likely. For those who do not know Scripture, the probability is that they will be more easily led astray from what is sound.   Read your Bible. Think about what you have read. Study theology after you know your Bible. And set your doctrine in accord with the Bible. It is important.   Glorious God Almighty, You have provided us with a source of knowledge in order for us to know You, to know what You are doing, and to know why You have done those things. How can we neglect such a great and precious treasure? Help us, Lord, to make Your word our priority all the days of our lives. Amen.

Parasha Mikets omvat de verhoging en verberging van Jozef en de beproeving van de broers. Gedreven door de honger worden ze naar Egypte gedwongen. Het land van de dubbele verdrukking. Het draait er straks op uit dat ook Israël naar Egypte afdaalt en daar gaat wonen.In het land van de dubbelheid. In de wereld van goed en van kwaad. Yeshua zegt: in de wereld zul je verdrukking hebben, maar hebt goede moed: Ik heb de wereld overwonnen.Waar je woont, is waar je thuis bent. Het geeft ons een onveilig gevoel als iemand in ons huis inbreekt. “Ik weet waar je woont …” kan een bedreiging voor ons zijn. “Wat je ook doet, ik weet je te vinden."Ik weet waar je woont.” Dat is bedreigend. Want ons thuis, dat is waar het veilig hoort te zijn. De uitspraak “Ik weet waar je woont” heeft echter ook een bemoedigende kant! Stel, je hebt visite afgesproken en je wilt de weg naar je huis uitleggen. Maar de ander weet al waar het is, en zegt: “Laat maar, ik weet waar je woont”. Het is fijn dat iemand die jou goed kent weet waar je woont.In dit leerhuis verleg ik de blik naar de gemeente van Pergamus. Tegen deze gemeente wordt ook gezegd: "Ik weet waar jullie wonen." Dat wordt gezegd door de Messias ben Jozef – Yeshua haMashiach. Waar wonen ze dan? Daar waar de troon van satan staat. En wat heeft Jezus daarover tegen de gemeente te zeggen? Wat leren eruit voor onze tijd?Shalom,Presentatie: Anco van MoolenbroekSupport the show (https://radioisrael.nl/geven/)

Saturday, 30 October 2021   Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Acts 2:9   The list of various dialects (even within various languages) is now presented. This list is probably not all inclusive, but it gives a sense of the scope of what was heard by those gathered in Jerusalem. Hence, it gives the scope of the miracle itself. As these are Galileans speaking forth, and as there are such an expansive number of individual languages and dialects, it reveals the knowledge and understanding of the Spirit who caused these people to speak.   The languages, as they are presented, generally follow from east to west in their geographic locations. Albert Barnes gives a detailed description of these people groups and his work will be cited here.   The list begins with “Parthians.” Of them, Barnes says, “Parthians mean those Jews or proselytes who dwelt in Parthia. This country was a part of Persia, and was situated between the Persian Gulf and the Tigris on the west, and the Indus River on the east. The term ‘Parthia' originally referred to a small mountainous district lying to the northeast of Media. Afterward it came to be applied to the great Parthian kingdom into which this province expanded. Parthia proper, or Ancient Parthia, lying between Asia and Hyrcania, the residence of a rude and poor tribe, and traversed by bare mountains, woods, and sandy steppes, formed a part of the great Persian monarchy. Its inhabitants were of Scythian origin. About 256 years before Christ, Arsaces rose against the Syro-Macedonian power, and commenced a new dynasty in her own person, designated by the title of Arsacidae. This was the beginning of the great Parthian empire, which extended itself in the early days of Christianity over all the provinces of what had been the Persian kingdom, having the Euphrates for its western boundary, by which it was separated from the dominions of Rome (Kitto's Encyclop.). Their empire lasted about 400 years. The Parthians were much distinguished for their manner of fighting. They usually fought on horseback, and when appearing to retreat, discharged their arrows with great execution behind them. They disputed the empire of the East with the Romans for a long time. The language spoken there was that of Persia, and in ancient writers Parthia and Persia often mean the same country.”   Next, Luke says, “and Medes.” Of them, Barnes says, “Inhabitants of Media. This country was situated westward and southward of the Caspian Sea, between 35 degrees and 40 degrees of north latitude. It had Persia on the south and Armenia on the west. It was about the size of Spain, and was one of the richest parts of Asia. In the Scriptures it is called Madai, Genesis 10:2. The Medes are often mentioned, frequently in connection with the Persians, with whom they were often connected under the same government, 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11; Esther 1:3, Esther 1:14, Esther 1:18-19; Jeremiah 25:25; Daniel 5:28; Daniel 6:8; Daniel 8:20; Daniel 9:1. The language spoken here was also that of Persia.”   After them come the “Elamites.” Barnes states, “The nation was descended from Elam, the son of Shem, Genesis 10:22. It is mentioned as being in alliance with Amraphel, the king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar, and Tidal, king of nations, Genesis 14:1. Of these nations in alliance, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, was the chief, Genesis 14:4. See also Ezra 2:7; Ezra 8:7; Nehemiah 7:12, Nehemiah 7:34; Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 21:2; Isaiah 22:6, etc. They are mentioned as a part of the Persian empire, and Daniel is said to have resided at Shushan, which is in the province of Elam, Daniel 8:2. The Greeks and Romans gave to this country the name of Elymais. It is now called Kusistan. It was bounded by Persia on the east, by Media on the north, by Babylonia on the west, and by the Persian Gulf on the south. The Elamites were a warlike people, and celebrated for the use of the bow, Isaiah 22:6; Jeremiah 49:35. The language of this people was of course the Persian. Its capital, Shusan, called by the Greeks Susa, was much celebrated. It is said to have been fifteen miles in circumference, and was adorned with the celebrated palace of Ahasuerus. The inhabitants still pretend to show there the tomb of the prophet Daniel.”   Luke next turns to “those dwelling in Mesopotamia.” Barnes details them, saying, “This name, which is Greek, signifies between the rivers; that is, the region lying between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. In Hebrew it was called Aram-Naharaim; that is, Aram, or Syria, of the two rivers. It was also called Padan Aram, the plain of Syria. In this region were situated some important places mentioned in the Bible: "Ur of the Chaldees, the birthplace of Abraham Genesis 11:27-28; Haran, where Terah stopped on his journey and died Genesis 11:31-32; Charchemish 2 Chronicles 35:20; Hena 2 Kings 19:13; Sepharvaim 2 Kings 17:24. This region, known as Mesopotamia, extended between the two rivers from their sources to Babylon on the south. It had on the north Armenia, on the west Syria, on the east Persia, and on the south Babylonia. It was an extensive, level, and fertile country. The language spoken here was probably the Syriac, with perhaps a mixture of the Chaldee.”   Luke next mentions “Judea.” In this, Barnes notably and wisely states, “This expression has greatly perplexed commentators. It has been thought difficult to see why Judea should be mentioned, as if it were a matter of surprise that they could speak in this language. Some have supposed that there is an error in the manuscripts, and have proposed to read Armenia, or India, or Lydia, or Idumea, etc. But all this has been without any authority. Others have supposed that the language of Galilee was so different from that of the other parts of Judea as to render it remarkable that they could speak that dialect. But this is an idle supposition. This is one of the many instances in which commentators have perplexed themselves to very little purpose. Luke recorded this as any other historian would have done. In running over the languages which they spoke, he enumerated this as a matter of course; not that it was remarkable simply that they should speak the language of Judea, but that they should speak so many, meaning about the same by it as if he had said they spoke every language in the world. It is as if a similar miracle were to occur at this time among an assembly of native Englishmen and foreigners. In describing it, nothing would be more natural than to say they spoke French, and German, and Spanish, and English, and Italian, etc. In this there would be nothing remarkable except that they spoke so many languages.”   Luke next turns to “Cappadocia.” Barnes diligently notes, “This was a region of Asia Minor, and was bounded on the east by the Euphrates and Armenia, on the north by Pontus, west by Phrygia and Galatia, and south by Mount Taurus, beyond which are Cilicia and Syria. The language which was spoken here is not certainly known. It was probably, however, a mixed dialect, made up of Greek and Syriac, perhaps the same as that of their neighbors, the Lycaonians, Acts 14:11. This place was formerly celebrated for iniquity, and is mentioned in Greek writers as one of the three eminently wicked places whose name began with C. The others were Crete (compare Titus 1:12) and Cilicia. After its conversion to the Christian religion, however, it produced many eminent men, among whom were Gregory Nyssen and Basil the Great. It was one of the places to which Peter directed an epistle, 1 Peter 1:1.”   After that, Luke states “Pontus.” Again, to Barnes – “This was another province of Asia Minor, and was situated north of Cappadocia, and was bounded west by Paphlagonia. Pontus and Cappadocia under the Romans constituted one province. This was one of the places to which the apostle Peter directed his epistle, 1 Peter 1:1. This was the birthplace of Aquila, one of the companions of Paul, Acts 18:2, Acts 18:18, Acts 18:26; Romans 16:3; 1 Corinthians 16:19; 2 Timothy 4:19.”   The verse ends with, “and Asia.” Of this area, Barnes details the following, “Pontus and Cappadocia, etc., were parts of Asia. But the word Asia is doubtless used here to denote the regions or provinces west of these, which are not particularly enumerated. Thus, it is used Acts 6:9; Acts 16:6; Acts 20:16. It probably embraced Mysia, Aeolis, Ionia, Caria, and Lydia. "The term probably denoted not so much a definite region as a jurisdiction, the limits of which varied from time to time, according to the plan of government which the Romans adopted for their Asiatic provinces" (Prof. Hackett, in loco). The capital of this region was Ephesus. See also 1 Peter 1:1. This region was frequently called Ionia, and was afterward the seat of the seven churches in Asia, Revelation 1:4.”   Concerning the term “Asia,” Vincent's Word Studies further clarifies the term, saying, “Not the Asiatic continent nor Asia Minor. In the time of the apostles the term was commonly understood of the proconsular province of Asia, principally of the kingdom of Pergamus left by Attalus III. to the Romans, and including Lydia, Mysia, Caria, and at times parts of Phrygia. The name Asia Minor did not come into use until the fourth century of our era.”   Life application: When reading commentaries on verses such as Acts 2:9, be sure to thank the Lord for all of the diligent work that has gone into recording information about these places by scholars of past ages. At times they provide scriptural references that will help identify who is being referred to elsewhere in the Bible. Great scholars of the past spent a lot of time in rooms lighted by lamps, pouring over maps, books, and the Bible itself to put together reliable records of what is being described.   We are those who benefit from their labors, and they have made our lives much easier as we prepare our own commentaries, Bible studies, and sermons for those in our lives to also benefit from. A big “thank you” to them is due when we meet on the fairer shores we will someday walk upon.   And above all, thank the Lord that He has given us such wonderful words through Luke and the other writers of the Bible to get us going in our journey of understanding the greatness of what God is doing in redemptive history as He arranges His word, builds up His foundations, and weaves together His church. Yes, thank God for all He has done to give us the surety of His word and thus the surety of our salvation which is so clearly presented in this word.   Lord God, thank you for the wonderful stream of instruction You have given us, both in Your word and in those who have evaluated Your word throughout the ages. We have a reliable testimony to all that is going on in the wonderful story of the redemption of man because of those things You have put together for us. Thank You, O God! Amen!

Ben jij wel eens gestruikeld in de kerk? Met deze vraag begint Theo de Koning deze vierde aflevering van 'Brieven uit de hemel'. De brief aan de gemeente in Pergamus is een brief waar het over struikelen gaat doordat er leringen in de gemeente zijn die niet meer zuiver zijn. En of dat nu zover bij onze tijd vandaan staat, kun je je gerust afvragen. En vandaar deze beginvraag.

Was deine Angst besiegt und Trennung überwinden lässt Predigt: 02-02-2020 von Heiko Reinecke Offenbarung 1:9-20 [Schlachter 2000] Der Auftrag, das Buch der Offenbarung zu schreiben 9 Ich, Johannes, der ich auch euer Bruder bin und mit euch Anteil habe an der Bedrängnis und am Reich und am standhaften Ausharren Jesu Christi, war auf der Insel, die Patmos genannt wird, um des Wortes Gottes und um des Zeugnisses Jesu Christi willen. 10 Ich war im Geist am Tag des Herrn, und ich hörte hinter mir eine gewaltige Stimme, wie von einer Posaune, 11 die sprach: Ich bin das A und das O, der Erste und der Letzte!, und: Was du siehst, das schreibe in ein Buch und sende es den Gemeinden, die in Asia sind: nach Ephesus und nach Smyrna und nach Pergamus und nach Thyatira und nach Sardes und nach Philadelphia und nach Laodizea! Der erhöhte Herr Jesus Christus Dan 10,5-12; Hes 1,26-28 12 Und ich wandte mich um und wollte nach der Stimme sehen, die mit mir redete; und als ich mich umwandte, da sah ich sieben goldene Leuchter, 13 und mitten unter den sieben Leuchtern Einen, der einem Sohn des Menschen glich, bekleidet mit einem Gewand, das bis zu den Füßen reichte, und um die Brust gegürtet mit einem goldenen Gürtel. 14 Sein Haupt aber und seine Haare waren weiß, wie weiße Wolle, wie Schnee; und seine Augen waren wie eine Feuerflamme, 15 und seine Füße wie schimmerndes Erz, als glühten sie im Ofen, und seine Stimme wie das Rauschen vieler Wasser. 16 Und er hatte in seiner rechten Hand sieben Sterne, und aus seinem Mund ging ein scharfes, zweischneidiges Schwert hervor; und sein Angesicht leuchtete wie die Sonne in ihrer Kraft. 17 Und als ich ihn sah, fiel ich zu seinen Füßen nieder wie tot. Und er legte seine rechte Hand auf mich und sprach zu mir: Fürchte dich nicht! Ich bin der Erste und der Letzte 18 und der Lebende; und ich war tot, und siehe, ich lebe von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, Amen! Und ich habe die Schlüssel des Totenreiches und des Todes. 19 Schreibe, was du gesehen hast, und was ist, und was nach diesem geschehen soll: 20 das Geheimnis der sieben Sterne, die du in meiner Rechten gesehen hast, und der sieben goldenen Leuchter. Die sieben Sterne sind Engel der sieben Gemeinden, und die sieben Leuchter, die du gesehen hast, sind die sieben Gemeinden. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/efg-osnabrueck/message

1 Openbaring van Jezus Christus, die God Hem gegeven heeft om Zijn dienstknechten te laten zien wat spoedig moet geschieden, en die Hij door Zijn engel gezonden en aan Zijn dienstknecht Johannes te kennen heeft gegeven.2 Deze heeft van het Woord van God getuigd en van het getuigenis van Jezus Christus, alles wat hij gezien heeft.3 Zalig is hij die leest en zijn zij die horen de woorden van de profetie, en die in acht nemen wat daarin geschreven staat, want de tijd is nabij.4 Johannes aan de zeven gemeenten die in Asia zijn: genade zij u en vrede, van Hem Die is en Die was en Die komt, en van de zeven Geesten, Die voor Zijn troon zijn,5 en van Jezus Christus, Die de getrouwe Getuige is, de Eerstgeborene uit de doden en de Vorst van de koningen der aarde. Hem Die ons heeft liefgehad en ons van onze zonden gewassen heeft in Zijn bloed,6 en Die ons gemaakt heeft tot koningen en priesters voor God en Zijn Vader, Hem zij de heerlijkheid en de kracht in alle eeuwigheid. Amen.7 Zie, Hij komt met de wolken, en elk oog zal Hem zien, ook zij die Hem doorstoken hebben. En alle stammen van de aarde zullen rouw over Hem bedrijven. Ja, amen.8 Ik ben de Alfa en de Omega, het Begin en het Einde, zegt de Heere, Die is en Die was en Die komt, de Almachtige.9 Ik, Johannes, die ook uw broeder ben en deelgenoot in de verdrukking en in het Koninkrijk en in de volharding van Jezus Christus, was op het eiland genaamd Patmos, omwille van het Woord van God en het getuigenis van Jezus Christus.10 Ik was in de geest op de dag des Heeren en ik hoorde achter mij een luide stem, als van een bazuin,11 die zei: Ik ben de Alfa en de Omega, de Eerste en de Laatste, en: Wat u ziet, schrijf dat op een boekrol en stuur het aan de zeven gemeenten die in Asia zijn: naar Efeze, naar Smyrna, naar Pergamus, naar Thyatira, naar Sardis, naar Filadelfia en naar Laodicea.12 En ik keerde mij om, om de stem te zien die met mij had gesproken. En toen ik mij had omgekeerd, zag ik zeven gouden kandelaren.13 En te midden van de zeven kandelaren zag ik Iemand Die op de Zoon des mensen leek, gekleed in een gewaad tot op de voeten, en op de borst omgord met een gouden gordel;14 en Zijn hoofd en haar waren wit, als witte wol, als sneeuw, en Zijn ogen waren als een vuurvlam,15 en Zijn voeten waren als blinkend koper, gloeiend gemaakt in een oven, en Zijn stem klonk als het geluid van vele wateren.16 En Hij had zeven sterren in Zijn rechterhand en uit Zijn mond kwam een tweesnijdend scherp zwaard; en Zijn gezicht was zoals de zon schijnt in haar kracht.17 En toen ik Hem zag, viel ik als dood aan Zijn voeten, en Hij legde Zijn rechterhand op mij en zei tegen mij: Wees niet bevreesd, Ik ben de Eerste en de Laatste,18 en de Levende, en Ik ben dood geweest en zie, Ik ben levend tot in alle eeuwigheid. Amen. En Ik heb de sleutels van het rijk van de dood en van de dood zelf.19 Schrijf nu op wat u hebt gezien, en wat is, en wat hierna zal geschieden.20 Het geheimenis van de zeven sterren die u in Mijn rechterhand hebt gezien, en van de zeven gouden kandelaren is: de zeven sterren zijn de engelen van de zeven gemeenten, en de zeven kandelaren die u hebt gezien, zijn de zeven gemeenten.

Pergamus.SSS | Ep. #11 by Ivor Myers

First we talked about Ephesus the church that forgot their first love, which lead us right into the sanctuary of the church at Smyrna, who was consequently the suffering church. Pergamus, the Church that married the world was right behind them. It only got worse in Thyatira.Today we find ourselves in a church that feels all too familiar, unfortunateky they call Sardis the Dead church, let's uncover why... 

Christ instructed John to write 7 letters to 7 churches. All of the churches have a specific message. Which church do you belong to? let’s check out Pergamus, the compromising church.

Bijbeltekst Omschrijving: [12] ¶  En schrijf aan den engel der Gemeente, die in Pergamus is: Dit zegt Hij,  Die het tweesnijdend scherp zwaard heeft:[13]   Ik weet uw werken, en waar gij woont; namelijk daar de troon des satans  is, en gij houdt Mijn Naam, en hebt Mijn geloof niet verloochend, ook  in die dagen, in welke Antipas, Mijn getrouwe getuige was, welke gedood  is bij ulieden, daar de satan woont.[14]   Maar Ik heb enige weinige dingen tegen u, dat gij aldaar hebt, die de  lering van Balaam houden, die Balak leerde den kinderen Israels een  aanstoot voor te werpen, opdat zij zouden afgodenoffer eten en hoereren.[15]   Alzo hebt ook gij, die de lering der Nikolaieten houden; hetwelk Ik haat.[16]   Bekeer u; en zo niet, Ik zal u haastelijk bij komen, en zal tegen hen  krijg voeren met het zwaard Mijns monds.[17]   Die oren heeft, die hore wat de Geest tot de Gemeenten zegt. Die overwint,  Ik zal hem geven te eten van het manna, dat verborgen is, en Ik zal hem  geven een witten keursteen, en op den keursteen een nieuwen naam  geschreven, welken niemand kent, dan die hem ontvangt.
