To the Church in Pergamum write…

~ Ross Davis

Revelation 2:12-17

Jesus is referred to as a double-edged sword. He is a loving and merciful God he is also coming back to destroy evil.

Pergamum was a capital of the Roman province of Asia Minor for 25 + years and was a prominent religious center for a number of pagan cults. This is why Jesus said, Satan lives there.

Pergamum compromises the Name of Jesus, yet stays true.

Jesus has things against this Church:

* Congregants participating in pagan beliefs

* Eating food sacrificed to Idols

* Sexual Immorality

Jesus warns them to repent or face his sword from his mouth.

Reward for turning away from their sin:

* Receiving hidden manna (bread from heaven)

* Recipients of a white stone with a new name written on it known only to those who receive this white stone

While this pertains to time and place it also stands for a warning to today’s followers who backslide into any of these deadly sins.

My mission in writing this blog is to take part in the Great Commission: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. My walk with Christ began about 40 years ago when I met one of the leaders of Jews For Jesus who helped me change my life around. Growing up as a Jew in Maryland I did not know who God was and never practiced Judaism. The Lord has brought me through many trials, has educated me on His rules for Godly living, taught me wisdom from above and how to surrender and allow Him to take over in all situations. Hopefully I can impart a fraction of what Jesus has taught me and if this helps, let me know when I see you in heaven one day!
