But 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.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 2 of Revelation. Pergamum lives where Satan’s throne is, an expression that intensifies the image of pressure exerted by the surrounding environment upon Christian faithfulness. The church has held firmly to Christ’s name even after the death of Antipas, but it tolerates teachings associated with Balaam and the Nicolaitans. The problem is not merely the existence of external temptation, but the internal acceptance of practices incompatible with faithfulness to the Lord. The promise of hidden manna and a white stone bearing a new name presents a personal reward reserved for the one who conquers.
