Today we dive into the 6th letter that John writes to the 7 churches, and it is written to the Church of Philadelphia. We know that the name of this city is no secret or mystery. I means brotherly love, and was founded by King Eumenes II of Pergamon in 189 B.C. It was named Philadelphia because of his love for his brother and successor Attalus II. Today the city is known as Alasehir and is located in Turkey. This was a difficult place to live during the ancient times because of the repeated earthquakes that devastated the city. For those that stuck around it helped develop a sense of determination and perseverance that become important to living there. The Church of Philadelphia was persecuted greatly like Smyrna, but they remained true to the mission of the Church and like Smyrna they receive no rebuke. Let’s see what we can learn from the letter written to this small but mighty church.
