The city of Laodicea was one of the wealthiest cities in the ancient world. They had a thriving economy supported by a textile industry which featured wool only found in their city. Additionally, they were known for their special medicines to treat eye problems and boasted several world renown physicians. The church at Laodicea consisted of the filthy rich. Sadly, Jesus had nothing good to say about them, because they were too preoccupied with themselves, their money, and their lifestyle to be of much use in serving Jesus.
