Introduction
Introduction
Sardis letter’s stern warning of a surprise judgment from God if they failed to repent. Six hundred years earlier Sardis had been overthrow by the Persians in a strange twist of fate during the reign of King Croesus. The king and his army, blinded by wealth and ambition, became careless in the defense of their seemingly impregnable fortress when a soldier inadvertently exposed a secret entrance by retrieving a dropped helmet. It literally “opened the door” to the fall and capture of Sardis by King Cyrus. [They entered the fortress and found everyone asleep]. That led to centuries of subjugation, first by the Persians, then by the Greeks when it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 334 BC, and eventually by the Romans. The other tragic event that was very fresh in the minds of every inhabitant of Sardis was the devastating earthquake of 17 AD which leveled the city and the surrounding area including another seven churches city, Philadelphia. — ( June 16th, 2017 · by Tom Stuart )
