Sexual Immorality In Revelation




The Greek word, pornea is translated "sexual immorality" and sometimes "adultery."  It occasionally is in scripture used as a symbol for worshipping other gods.  John is probably warning the church not to participate in any kind of idol worship here.  In Pergamum, it would be easy for them to take part in emperor worship, in addition to Christian practice.  But Jesus strongly warns them not to take part in it.
