Revelation 2:8-11
When Alexander the Great came to Smyrna, he rebuilt the city to such greatness that the people of Smyrna boasted of once being dead, but now we live. The root word of Smyrna, is Myrrh which means bitter or strong, and when ingested could be a healer. It’s where Caesers were first called Lords, and elevated as gods. But, Jesus wrote to the church in Smyrna to encourage them, and to remind them of who He is in their life.
