SARDIS
Sardis was The capital city of King Croesus who was considered as the richest man on earth in the ancient times. Due to the gold mined and collected in the area, Lydian Kingdom became one of the great Kingdoms of the antiquity. Lydians who minted first coins with a fixed and guarantied value and were so proud of their richness and their impregnable fortress, they were sure that no army on earth could capture their city. But the city was captured twice when Lydian guards were careless and sleepy. After each disaster, the city was recovered but slipped back to false sense of security. Accusations and blames for the church in Sardis is easy to understand: It is blamed not to be careful and watchful. It is warned to strengthen spiritual defenses. |
