1. Revelation 2:14 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Does the church's faithfulness in the face of Antipas' murder mean that all is well with the church of Pergamum?

Revelation 2:14 (ESV)

14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.

No, it does not. Satan has multiple ways to attack a congregation. If straight out murder of a member for the sake of the gospel doesn’t rattle the faith of the faithful, perhaps the allurement of false teaching might. Some in the church fell for “the teaching of Balaam.”
