📖 Revelation 2:12–17

What happens when the church starts looking more like the culture than Christ?

In this week’s episode of The King is Coming, Keith Harris and Jamie Harrison explore Jesus’s piercing words to the church at Pergamum—a church stuck between faithful witness and worldly compromise. Jesus introduces Himself here not as the gentle Shepherd but as “the One who has the sharp two-edged sword.” It’s a serious warning—and a gracious invitation.

In this conversation, we discuss:
✅ Why Jesus commended Pergamum for holding fast in a demonic stronghold
✅ The dangers of Balaam-like compromise and Nicolaitan sensuality
✅ How false teaching corrupts the body from within
✅ The call to repentance before Jesus makes war with the sword of His mouth
✅ The promise of hidden manna and a white stone with a new name

This is a letter for every believer who’s standing at a crossroads: Will we remain faithful to Jesus, or will we compromise to blend in? The King is not silent—and His call is clear: “Repent.”

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 2:17)
