What does the name Pergamos mean?
Pergamos in Greek means, "Married to the tower." Pergos means "tower," Gamos means "married." Ancient Babylonian priests moved from Babylon when the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon, to Pergamos and established their much adored cultic idolatry, pagan worship, with various customs and deities. The pagan form of worship originated from the tower of Babel, thus the love of the tower of Babel was the beginning of pagan worship in Babylon, arriving in Pergamos after Persian conquest. Pergamos was to represent everything the original cultic priests in the City of Babel envisioned and instituted. Greek mythology and Roman Imperial cultic worship influenced this pagan city of idolatry in later times.

Did the church at Pergamos have the synagogue of Satan?
The passage in Revelation that discusses Pergamos and Satan has been interpreted thus, but the words "synagogue of Satan" does not appear anywhere in the Bible, and the interpretation that such a place was in Pergamos as a physical structure is ludicrous and simplistic.The passage used to support the claim is Revelation 2:12-17: (from the KJV)12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.The message is largely metaphorical in reference to Satan.
Why did Jesus mentioned the name Antipas in the book of Revelation?
Antipas was a martyr of the church of Pergamum. This was from the letter to Pergamos in Rev.chapter 2. The church in Pergamum was faithful to the name of Christ, even to the point of martyrdom but it was tolerant of false teachers. These false teachers were proclaiming the right of Christians to indulge in pagan immoralities. Pergamum was a seat of emperor worship.
Is the Philadelphia that's mentioned in the bible the one that's in Pennsylvania?
NoRev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;This particular Philadelphia was in Greece.There were many cities/towns with this name in ancient times.
How many Churches are addressed in the Book of Revelations?
"The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches." (Revelation 1:20). Seven is the Biblical number of completion. These 7 churches were on an ancient mail route that the Apostle Paul visited and began the Church of God in each. The lampstands represent 'light' which is Christ's word in these Churches. They also represent 'Church Eras' leading up to the 2nd Coming of Christ. The final two of these Eras are Philadelphia and Laodicean which some believe we are now living in these times.
Where are the 7 churches of the Bible located?
There are a great deal more than seven Christian churches mentioned in the Bible. The term 'church' of course means a group of Christians and not a 'church building', as these had not yet come about, Christians meeting in each others' homes or in secret for fear of persecution. The seven churches that are mentioned in Revelation are: 1. the church at Ephesus 2. The church in Smyra 3. The church in Pergamum (Pergamos) 4. The church in Thyatria 5. The church in Sardis6. The church in Philadelphia 7, the church in Laodicea.However, there were many more churches set up across the Mediterranean area in addition to these. Paul wrote letters to the same church in Ephesus as mentioned in Revelation, but also to churches in Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Philippi, Colossi and Thessalonika. We also know that there were probably several churches set up in Israel, Galilee and Judea, including Jerusalem.
