During one of his missionary journeys St. Paul visited Ephesus in Turkey.
He stays in the city about three years (Acts 19:1-20). In Ephesus Paul discovers twelve believers who were baptized but who did'nt as yet have God's spirit. Paul baptizes them in His name and they receive God's Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7).
In looking at the letters to the 7 Churches, we see the Lord speaking directly to the 7 Churches
that existed in the Holy land at the time John lived. We also see the Lord's opinion of those Churches, and what they were doing at the time: Ephesus, Pergamon, Laodicea, Sardis, Thyatira, Smyrna, Philadelphia churches.
Turkey is called the Other Holy Land as it has more biblical sites than any other country in the Middle East. Antioch - the place where the followers of Jesus were first called Christians; Tarsus - where Apostle Paul was born and many others..

-Y- Yeshua
God saves. Jesus was called Yeshua.
Yahweh
Israel's God, means "I am" or "I am what I am," indicating that
God is completely self-determined, dependent on no one for his
being or power. The most sacred and holy name of God; other
references to the divine as God, Lord, or Almighty are titles.
Jewish people of Jesus' time avoided saying this for fear of
using it in vain. To refer to God they used Adoni (Greek, "Lord"
or "Master").
