Royal city of Mysia in Asia Minor: it was not visited by Paul as far as recorded. The church there is one of the seven in Asia to which the addresses in the Revelation were sent. The saints dwelt where Satan’s throne was—the city was renowned for its idolatry (Rev. 1:1111Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. (Revelation 1:11); Rev. 2:1212And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; (Revelation 2:12)). The city is still in existence, and is called Bergama, with a population of about 20,000, some 2,000 of whom are nominally Christian.
