Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. The Letter to the Church of Pergamos (Rev. 2:12–17) is representative of the period of church history from 325-500 A.D. #WordStrong
  2. The name “Pergamos” means “much marriage.” It is the word from which we get our word “polygamy” and “bigamy.” #WordStrong
  3. The Pergamos Period was the time in history when Satan orchestrated the “marriage” of the church to the world. #WordStrong
  4. God’s design was for the church to reach the world. The Pergamos Period was when the world reached the church. #WordStrong
  5. The Pergamos Period was the time in history when PAGAN Rome became PAPAL Rome. #WordStrong
  6. The Pergamos Period was the time in history when Christianity got “paganized”—or, when paganism got “Christianized.” #WordStrong
  7. In the Pergamos Period, paganism didn’t get “washed white”…it simply got “white-washed!” #WordStrong
  8. Paganism in the Roman empire was really nothing more than the governmental structure and religion of the Tower of Babel. #WordStrong
  9. The governmental structure & religion from Babel simply got Christian names placed on it to become the Roman Catholic Church. #WordStrong
  10. Compared to the persecution upon Christians by PAPAL Rome, it made the horrific persecution under PAGAN Rome seem mild & humane. #WordStrong
