The Pergamos Connection

The church at Pergamos. This was one of the most desperate places in the ancient world. Satan had set up his cosmic headquarters there. He moves it around from time to time. During this period when Jesus wrote this letter to the church at Pergamos, it was the occultist, satanic headquarters of the world. Jesus planted a church here. That is why this letter talks about our security in Jesus. You can flourish for Christ wherever He has planted you. Even if you are sitting under the throne of Satan, you can flourish for Christ. You are very secure in Christ.
