The city of Smyrna is only mentioned here in the book of Revelation, but the Greek word Smyrna is found three times in our NT. The first time it is used is in Matthew 2:11, where we are told that the wise men from the east brought the young Christ child “gold, and frankincense and myrrh (Smyrna).” Gold for a King. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords. Frankincense for the sweet fragrance of His life. This signifies our Lord's deity. Myrrh (Greek word is smyrna) is for our Saviour. Myrrh typifies the suffering of our Lord for our sins. Our Lord suffered and died on the cross for you and for me.
