I learnt precious thing and I want to share some for you guys…
Revelation 3:14-22 New International Version (NIV)
What is Laodicea ?
Laodicea or Laodiceia or Laodikeia built on the river Lycus so known as Laodicea on the Lycus (Greek: Λαοδίκεια πρός τοῦ Λύκου; Latin: Laodicea ad Lycum) is located between two town, in east : Colossae (Indonesia : Kolose) and in north : Hierapolis. Ruins of the city that is now called “Eskihisar” old castle in a modern village, Turkey.
There is a refreshing cold springs in Colossae and in Hierapolis there is thermal springs also known as The Healing Centre, but nothing at all in Laodicea. Laodicea doesn’t have a source of water, so the water supplied to the city from the outside through the pipes (aqueduct), made of stone. It is common in the Roman era, so it is called “Roman Aqueduct“. Because the stone pipes, simple technology and should reach distant places, also used in a long time, so sometimes there is accumulation sediment build up in it. When exposed to sunlight, the water up to Laodicea, to be warm (lukewarm), sometimes muddy. At the time to drink, the kind water would make nausea, even vomiting from the mouth.
Verse 14th : The Bible verse was first created is intended for the church in Laodicea but the word of God is eternal of all time is also addressed to us until now.
Verse 15th : Laodicea doesn’t have “The Refreshing” or “The Healing” water.
Verse 16th : Laodicea own only lukewarm and it caused of “lukewarm” water. At the time to drink, the kind water would make nausea, even vomiting from the mouth.
Verse 17th : Successful living standards human beings are not God’s standard of living.
Verse 18th : God is the source of everything. Gold refined in the fire=always have a value increase (meaningful life). White clothes=humility (egoism, pride). Salve to put on your eyes=sensitive, considerate, heedful and keen about everything especially God’s Work.
Verse 19th : True Love of a teacher’s heart. Relationship of teacher’s heart and disciple achievers, between coach and the champion.
Verse 20th : An precious invitation about eternal life, The Kingdom of Heaven.
Verse 21st : Grand prize (award) for the winner.
