The Hebraic Book of Revelation – Part 2a

These are real letters to real assemblies, but they’re also a preview to church history in its downward spiral toward Laodicean lukewarmness. 

We are not only viewing the past, historical truth, but seeing present moving into the future with thrust of the main movement of history.

Chapter 2:

• Nicholatian’s
• Synagogue of Satan
• Pergamum 
• Balaam
• Jezebel

These things says He that holds the seven cochavim in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden menorot. 2 I know your mitzvoth, and your labor, and your endurance, and how you can’t bear those who are evil: and you have tried them who say they are shlichim,  and are not, and have found them to be liars: 3 And have borne, and have endurance, and for My Name’s sake have labored, and have not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first ahava. 5 Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and make teshuvah, and do the first mitzvoth; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your menorah out of its place, unless you make teshuvah. But this you have, that you hate the wicked deeds of the Nikolations, which I also hate. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach says to the Yisraelite congregations; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the eytz chayim, which is in the midst of the Gan Ayden of tvkt.

The breakdown: each oracle contains a challenge: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.”

• Preface of the charge to write to the overseer/angel/messenger of the assembly.

2. Identification of the visionary author, a past visionary prose. 

3. Acknowledging the assemblies achievements (except Laodacia an Sardis). 

4. Words of encouragement, council, condemnation or warning (only Smyrna and Philadelphia escape condemnation).

5. A closing extortion to Shema and a promise to those who overcome. 

Unto the angel of the congregation of Ephsisus write…

Angel: not its guardian or ruling official (teaching overseer, bishop or pastor), but its prevailing spirit; the celestial counterpart to the earthly organism or the spiritualized personification of the assembly. 

• 7 stars = the personifications of the prevailing spirit. 

• 7 branched menorah = the assemblies themselves. 

Yahusha walks amongst the menorah’s = He’s present in their midst and aware of their activities and trials. 

Acts 19 informs us there was a SUPERNATURAL war going on in Ephesus and the believers were being overcome because they weren’t spirit filled.

You have to be Spirit filled to face down the enemy: then you can make some headway and get past the fleshly realm of good old fashioned book burning and rioting! 

Watch out today: there are many false apostles, the faith is full of…

The Doctrine of the Niclolatian’s

Every virtue carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction. 

The desire these individuals had to be leaders and teachers was soulish to the core, so much so that it created a climate of jealousy and covetousness deep within them, a place where disease and corruption grew until it could no longer be contained…

Gal. 3:3 are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Good works and pure doctrine will never be a substitute for character, calling and Kingdom vision. 

Doctrine of the Nicolatians;  in Greek, from Nakao, to conquer and Laos, the people or laity. 

Nicolaitianism was a form of Aramaism; The Aramaic word ניכולא (nichola) means “Let us eat!“. 

….the Greek word Νικολαΐτης (Nicolaitans) was formed from the Aramaic ניכולא nichola, combined with the Greek plural ending ‘tian’ ίτης. The root meaning of Nicolaitans, therefore, would be “let-us-eat-ers”.

..the etymological connection between “Nicolaitans” and “Let-us-eat-ers,”proves this was group of Gentile Christ-followers who were at odds with the decision of Jerusalem Council and the will of יהוה and Moses.  

They set aside the teaching of the Moses and the teaching of the apostles given in Acts 15 and were slipping back into their former pagan practices; it was two fold

1. eating anything they liked – in essence doing away with the food laws
2. and devouring one another with their gnostic know how! 

Pergamum

 12 And to the teaching overseer of the congregation in Pergamum write; These things says He who has the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know your mitzvoth, and where you dwell, even where s.a.tan’s seat is: and you hold fast to My Name, and have not denied the emunah in Me, even in those days when Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where s.a.tan dwells. 

The Altar of Zeus alternately known as the Pergamon Altar built between 197 and 156 BCE. formerly in Pergamon, Asia Minor, (today Bergama, Turkey) is now housed in Berlin’s Pergamon Museum.

The whole end time political, religious and military theater of Satan is inaugurated from this throne. This is a battle for power, knowledge and control – Syn of Satan, Levitical Priesthood, Politicians and warmongers.  

The Germans…

…After the war, the Bolshevik-Soviets

..later returned the Throne of Satan in 1958 after they had imparted their spirit of communism upon it ready to be exported to the West.

Barack Obama then went to Berlin and gave his speech on ‘foreign policy’ and received an anointing at the throne in Berlin enabling him to win the Democratic nomination in Denver, Colorado. 

Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia . 

The prince of Persia isn’t a man but a principality demonic sprit,  the highest ranking demonic angel that can rule over a nation – Babylon (lion).

 Dan 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. 21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

the principality is bound yet able to possess and empower through the ritual of the Pergamum altar…

In honor of Satan, President Obama then went on to make his initial acceptance speech in 2008 for the DNC presidential nomination, in a near perfect replica of what Yahusha referred to as “the throne of Satan.” where Obama received his original calling! 

These are high ranking principalities still invoked today…

In Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the water and saw a beast rise up out of the water, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
