2993 7"@*4P,4" Laodikeia,
gen. Laodikeias, fem. proper noun. Laodicea, a city in Asia Minor on the
banks of the Lycus, a few miles away from Colossae and Hierapolis, known today in
Turkish as Eski-hissar. It was formerly known as Diospolis. The Syrian
King Selucus II changed its name to that of his wife, Laodice. It was a
rich, commercial city. When a great earthquake destroyed Colossae,
Hierapolis, and Laodicia, the latter was rebuilt by its
own inhabitants without any aid from the Roman Senate. A Christian church was
established here early, probably by the Ephesian believers, and to this church Paul
sent a salutation when writing to the Colossians (Col. 4:15). It is also
mentioned in Rev. 1:11; 3:14. From Col. 4:16, it appears that Paul wrote a
letter to the Laodicians, but of this letter no certain account can be made.
Some think that it was the same as the Epistle to the Ephesians since it was a
letter circulated among the churches. There is what is known as the
"Epistle to the Laodicians" which exists only in Latin. It is a
literary forgery of late date and compiled from the books of Galatians and
Ephesians. The church of Laodicia flourished for several centuries. In
the fourth century, and important council gathered here. The
Muslims destroyed the city, and today it is a heap of ruins. |
