Revelation 3:14
THE CHURCH AT LAODICEA
The church of the Laodiceans. Laodicea was situated in the
valley of the Lycus, near Colosse and Hierapolis. All three of these
churches are named by Paul in the Colossian letter, and an epistle, now
probably lost, was sent to Laodicea. The city of Laodicea was very
proud of its wealth in the latter part of the first century, a fact we
learn from profane history. The church was probably founded by
Epaphras, a companion of Paul. The condemnation of the Lord in this
epistle is severe, and its extinction is threatened. The site of the
ancient city is uninhabited now, and of course the church has long
since cease to exist.
The Amen, the faithful and true witness. See notes on
Revelation 1:5 2Co 1:20.
The beginning of the creation of God. The Being from which the
creation begins, the Word that made all things.
