Revelation 3:14 Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; And unto the angel of the Church of the Laodiceans, write. Laodicea was a great and rich City in Phrygia, by the River Licus, near to Coloss; where the gospel was preached, and this Church was planted in the faith and order of the gospel; These things saith the Amen. That is, unchangeable, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and to day, and the same for ever, Hebrews 13:8. Christ is also the Amen of all the promises of God, 2 Corinthians 1:20. The faithful and true witness, See KNOLLYS: Revelation 1:5 The beginning of the creation of God, Proverbs 8:22-30. Christ is the first-born of every creature, Colossians 1:15, also the first-born amongst many brethren, Romans 8:29 and therefore Christ in all things hath the preeminence, Colossians 1:18.
