THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS
To the angel. See "The Seven Stars", topic 9652.
The church of Ephesus. They city of Ephesus was the capital of the
Roman province of Asia, and the greatest city. As a great center it was
sought by the Apostle Paul, who founded the church and labored there
more than three years (Acts 18:19 19:1), and afterwards addressed to
it the Epistle to the Ephesians. At a later period he placed Timothy
there and addressed two epistles to him. All early church tradition
declares that John from about A.D. 70 made this city his home until his
death. There is not now standing a single house upon the site of the
ancient city, though the ruins are of the most imposing character. The
Turkish village of Agasalouk, upon the Smyrna and Aidan R. R., is about
two miles distant.
These things saith he, etc. See Revelation 1:13.
