Revelation 2:12

[Meaning: marriage, exalted.
Today: Pergamon, seven miles north of Smyrna.
When John writes this letter, Pergamon has been the capital of Asia Minor for 300 years. It is known for the invention of parchment, which is named after the city. The material was prepared from animal skins and became the competing writing material to the papyrus previously used in Egypt. The city was influential with the world's second largest library at the time. The Greek historian Plutarch writes that it contained 200,000 titles. In Pergamon, many gods were worshipped, including the greatest Greek god Zeus and the god of medicine Asclepius, whose symbol was the snake. Many made pilgrimages here to spend the night in the temple of Asclepius, where they slept among snakes that were believed to speak in dreams, which the occult priests then interpreted.]
Write the following to the messenger (angel) of the church of Pergamon:
"Thus says he who has
the sharp, double-edged sword:
[Literally: "the sword, the one with two edges, the sharp one." The word of God from his mouth is one side, and when we speak the word of God with our mouths, it is the other side of the sword, see also Rev 1:16; Heb. 4:12.]
