The Church of Laodicea
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;” (Rev 3:14a KJV)
Laodicea was 45 miles southeast of Philadelphia and 90 miles east of Ephesus. It was an important trade center and was famous for its medical school. It was a wealthy city and was filled with Greek culture. The area was prone to earthquakes and is in ruins today. The Church in Laodicea was considered a lukewarm Church. It had gone into apostasy and was ruled by the laity. There were no positive words or commendation given to the Laodiceans.
