Revelation of John 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 Re 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.
