LAODICEA – HISTORY

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Laodicea was a major export market for black wool, a product much in demand. It was also the site of a well-known medical school. Laodicea’s origins, as far as are presently known, go back to one of the Hellenistic kings in the middle of the third century B.C.  The city was at the crossroads of north-south traffic between Sardis and Pergamus and east-west traffic from the Euphrates to Ephesus.  Laodicea quickly became a-rich city.  

These videos of both the Fig Tree Ministries and Our Daily Bread, explain more about the historical and spiritul background of Laodicea.

THE ASSEMBLY OF LAODICEA

Laodicea’s origins, as far as are presently known, go back to one of the Hellenistic kings in the middle of the third century B.C.  It is supposed to have been named or renamed then by Antiochus ll in honour of his wife, Laodicea, but the origins must go back earlier.  Cicero lived in Laodicea in the early months of 50 B.C. administering justice and trying to make up for the distress caused throughout the province by his predecessor, Appius Claudius.

The city was at the crossroads of north-south traffic between Sardis and Perga and east-west traffic from the Euphrates to Ephesus.  Laodicea quickly became a rich city, rich enough to be able to rebuild itself without outside help after the destructive earthquake of 60 A.D.

DIE GEMEENTE VAN LAODICEA

Laodicea se oorsprong, sover dit tans bekend is, gaan terug na een van die Hellenistiese konings in die middel van die derde eeu v.C.  Dit word veronderstel dat Antiochus II dit na sy vrou, Laodicea vernoem het, maar die oorsprong van die stad was alreeds vroeër as dit.  Cicero het in die vroeë maande van 50 v.C. in Laodicea gewoon.  

Die stad was op die kruispad van die noord-suid verkeer tussen Sardis en Pergamus en die oos-wes verkeer vanaf die Eufraat na Efese.  Laodicea het vinnig ‘n ryk stad geword, so ryk dat hulle hulleself kon herbou het sonder hulp van buite, nà die vernietigende aardbewing van 60 n.C.
