Bible Question:
Where was Pergamos located? |
Bible Answer: Hi Chrissy, welcome to the forum. Pergamos was one of the seven churches in Asia Minor mentioned in Rev 2-3. It was in the west of what is now Asiatic Turkey (in ancient Lydia). It is to the seaward end of the valley of Caicus. It was the northernmost of the seven churches which were clustered in a group. It was the site of the first Temple of theos (God) which celebrated the worship of the emperor. Revelation said of it that it was where Satan's throne is (Rev 2.13). This was probably the Temple of theos mentioned in 2 Thess 2.4. It only became important in 282 BC and there are no good grounds for linking it with the priests of Babylon who actually welcomed Cyrus into Babylon, for he restored to them their ancient cultic rites.
