Revelation 2:12–17 [Session 22]

November 12, 2014 by Mark Trotter

The Letter To The Church of Pergamos, Part 3

We’ll finish looking at Jesus’ letter in Revelation 2:12–17 to the church in Pergamos, as it serves as our guide for interpreting history from 325–500 A.D. Note that this passage details the fact that this period is marked by people committing “spiritual fornication!” We must make sure we learn from it!

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. Once Satan got his SEAT of authority in his own counterfeit church there were some DOCTRINES he wanted to get established in it. #WordStrong
  2. The 1st doctrine Satan est’d was the DOCTRINE of BALAAM. Und’ing just what that is requires und’ing Numbers 22–25. #WordStrong
  3. The DOCTRINE of BALAAM was a way of getting God to do to His people what Satan was unable to do. #WordStrong
  4. The DOCTRINE of BALAAM Involved something the people were EATING and DRINKING that involved FORNICATION. (1 Cor. 10:7) #WordStrong
  5. In the Pergamos Church Period, Catholic doctrine propagated that a person receives Christ by something they eat and drink. #WordStrong
  6. In Rev. 2:14, God calls what they were eating IDOLATRY—that has caused them to commit spiritual FORNICATION. #WordStrong
  7. The other DOCTRINE Satan established in the Pergamos Church Period was the DOCTRINE of the NICOLAITANES. #WordStrong
  8. This doctrine was the establishment of a priest class over the common man. Jesus said He HATED it! #WordStrong
  9. Jesus’ counsel to the church in this Period was to REPENT! #WordStrong
  10. Had they heeded Jesus’ counsel, the evil, bloodshed, and countless murders of the Dark Ages could have been avoided. #WordStrong
