The implication of the term "Nicolaitan" suggests that a despotic authoritarian, or a power-grabbing hierarchy desired to assume unauthorized lordship as priests over the church, thus usurping The Headship of CHRIST ( Eph. 1:22; 5:23; Col. 1:18).
The church must never underestimate the influential power these charismatic religious heretics have over gullible churches. Note how the Ephesian Church hated "the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I (our Glorified CHRIST) also hate" ( Rev. 2:1-6). Yet, the Pergamos Church appointed certain Nicolaitans into their church leadership positions and adopted and practiced ("hold") "the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate" ( Rev. 2:12-16).
There, the word "hold" ( Rev. 2:15) translates from the Greek verb root (pronounced "kra-TEH-"), which speaks of church leaders using dictatorial power over the church to enforce their Nicolaitan "doctrine". This sets a dangerous precedence, for the powerful often gain manipulative power over the church far beyond that prescribed in the New Testament (cp. Mt. 20:25-28; 1Pet. 5:2-3).
If "Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them" (3Jn. v.9), was not a Nicolaitan, he certainly seemed to have patterned his authoritarian intimidation after their doctrine.
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

John 15:2 Every branch (in me) that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Matthew 25:14-30 And cast ye the (unprofitable servant) into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou (faithful unto death), and I will give thee a crown of life.

God says, You don't CHOSE me, I CHOSE YOU.
You don't contribute one single thing to your salvation.

You do nothing, it's all the WORK OF GOD.

Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as a vessel they shall be broken to shivers; even as I
received of my Father ( Psalms 2:8-10).
I've gone to church all my life and never once heard that God's elect are going to govern the nations.
Why is this SCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE not taught, because man's doctrine of hell is taught instead, and believed.
NO KNOWLEDGE.
We are here on earth and the kingdom is within us. Christ is the body that holds the fullness of the Father, Christ is ONE with the Father, a body with LIFE in that body, we are (ONE) the body and Christ is the LIFE in the body.
Colossians 1:27 ....this MYSTERY..... CHRIST IN YOU.....
Ephesians 4:4
Mark 8:35
Matthew 7:14
Christ is the SEED and the SEED, when planted, bears SEED exactly like the SEED planted. Look at the way God has made plants and animals to reproduce, after their LIKENESS. God reproduces no different than what he created reproduces. Jesus is the first (son of god), Jesus is the last (son of god).
Job 38:7 When the MORNING STARS (plural) sang together (ONE), the SONS OF GOD shouted for joy.
Revelation 22:16
Revelation 2:28
God Bless You!
There was NEVER a physical green growing tree, with roots, fruits and leaves, that bear KNOWLEDGE of GOOD AND EVIL.
There was NEVER a physical green growing tree, with roots, fruits and leaves, that was the TREE OF LIFE.
These two trees REPRESENT:
MAN is the tree of good and evil.
CHRIST is the tree of life.
Some parts of the creation in Genesis is a parable, that's why some mistake the first few chapters as possibly having men on earth before Adam.
There are two Adam's in Genesis man and Christ.
The Adam that was put to sleep (died) and the WOMAN taken FROM Adam (Christ) and made one flesh was Christ.
The WOMAN taken from Adam is man and women today, BEFORE, they are CREATED IN CHRIST.
Genesis 5:2 MALE and FEMALE created he THEM; and blessed them, and called THEIR NAME ADAM, in the day they were created.
This is man and woman after they are CREATED IN CHRIST.
Revelation 2:17 ....and I will give him a white STONE, and in THAT STONE a new name (the true Adam), which no man knoweth except he that RECEIVETH IT.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God (now our life) that worketh in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth MY WORKS until the end, to him will I GIVE POWER over the nations.
There's two popular views, One is they're the 12 Apostles and the sons of Jacob.
The other view is they represent The Church/ Redeemed.
Because of what's mentioned in Revelation 5:8-10.
Revelation 1:6.
and 1 Peter 2:5-9.
Revelation 5:8-10. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
What's interesting is what's mentioned in Revelation 5:6. in conjuction with Revelation 2:1.
Seems to be a change of location In Revelation Ch 2 and 3 Jesus is in the midst of the Church on Earth, by the time we get to Revelation 4:1. The scene is in heaven!! And Jesus is in the midst of the Church in Revelation 5:6.
Revelation 5:6. And I beheld, and, lo,-
-" IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE AND OF THE FOUR BEASTS, AND IN THE MIDST OF THE ELDERS, STOOD A LAMB"
as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
If this is the Church they're in Heaven it seems to suggest a pre trib Rapture.
God bless.
Revelation 2:28 I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus.....I AM ...... the bright and MORNING STAR.
Job 38:7 When the MORNING STARS sang together, and all the Son's of God shouted for joy?
Revelation 2:17 ....and will give him a white stone, and in the stone, a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he which RECEIVED IT.
Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed are they (the ELECT). They have become Son's of God, to judge the earth.
For WITHOUT are those raised back in the flesh to be judged.
This judgement is happening on earth after the second resurrection (Could take a thousand years or more, this is hinted at in the prophets).
Revelation 5:10 And hath made us unto our God kings and priest to REIGN ON EARTH.
Revelation 2:26 An he that overcometh, and keepeth MY WORKS unto the end, will I GIVE POWER over the nations: (that are raised back to earthy flesh to be judged)
Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule (JUDGE) them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter they shall be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father ( Psalms 2:8-10).
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be (lake of) A FIRE, and the the house of Joseph A FLAME ( Luke 16:24), and the house of Esau as STUBBLE, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Obadiah 1:21 And SAVIOURS (Christ and his brothers the SON'S OF GOD) shall come upon mount Zion to JUDGE the house of Esau, and the Kingdom (ON EARTH) shall be the LORD'S.
Jeremiah 51:19-23
Only the elect will have a glorified body at this time, all other will still have earthly bodies.
As we fellowship we come together to grow in all areas of the faith, At the moment we may not be able to agree on all things, But some day we will. But that doesn't mean we should yield to false doctrine or false teachers. In fact Revelation ch 2 and 3 we're being judged for suffering these false teachings to creep in.
Revelation 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou "SUFFERETH" that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 2:14. But I have a few things against thee, BECAUSE THOU HAST THERE ( THEM ) that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Have you noticed The Lord is not condemning them for holding the doctrine of Balaam, He's condemning them for having those there that do!! And like so with jezebel.
Have you noticed when we're liberal we get alone with everyone and they get alone with us. But when truth and the straight and narrow way is presented then there comes the train wreck! You will see hate without a cause!!
Some blend in quite well, Some loose all self control and attack even the newcomers.
A believer that has been spiritualy born should bare fruit!! And the Spirit should CAUSE those who are in Christ to Love one another. Not join themselves to everyone who comes on the site and attack the faith! Agape/ Love for the brothern is something the flesh cannot do, .
Why is there so much fuss about doctrine but no fuss at all what sincere milk should cause you to do?
1 John 4:21. And this commandment have we from him, THAT HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.
Have you noticed it doesn't say "SHOULD" Love his brother!! It's saying that Love given to Love God is "CAUSING" you to Love your brother also!!
GOD BLESS.
As for the context in which "causeth" is used, I interpret it differently. First, we know we are unredeemable if we take the mark, and the believers and followers of The Way are written in the Book of Life, so surely The Most High would not force death upon those who are His or those with an option to be. Secondly, "causeth" doesn't necessarily mean "by force"; I see the cause as by deception. And when we look at it thru that lense, it lines up. This plandemic is built on a mountain of lies.
In order to understand scripture we must first understand that Christianity is a product of the Roman Catholic Church and the RCC a product of the paganism of the Roman Empire and that Rome is Edom and is Edom is Esau. Romans 9:13 tells us, As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Lastly, we must know who the true Children of Israel are. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 both mention those who say they are Jews but are of the synagogue of Satan. Without this truth, we are not able to accurately interpret the scriptures. Interestingly enough, the very people who are downtrodden and seen as worthless are the "apple of his eye", aka, the so-called African-American and other so-called Black people scattered across the four corners of the earth by way of captivity. The rabbit hole goes leagues deep.
Revelation 2:6; 2:15
Proverbs 6:16-19
Romans 9:13
In none of those did God say he hates the world.
Hardly anyone bats an eyelash when someone tries to estimate how many unborn humans have been scraped out of their mothers wombs. I mean abort. Miscarriages are different.
MILLIONS?
In the Book of Job ch 1, we see it is SATAN that causes, chaos, killing storms, loss of almost everyone in his family. Then "friends" show up and show Job all his faults and failings (ACCUSER). God didn't blame Job. He abundantly replaced all Job lost, and healed him.
PEOPLE start wars. Israel always asked God to bless their conflicts and wars; and they won. He blessed their faith.
God is not involved in carnage on the earth so far.
There is a day of judgement coming. Most people have an inner knowledge of that. God consciousness. ROMANS 1, says mankind is without excuse if they deny Gods existence.
He gets blamed for all the bad stuff. Never mind bad choices, carelessness, failure to maintain safety measures, etc.
God stands willing to forgive every human for sins if they will turn to Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Casual Christians have no idea what they are missing out on. Jesus will give you his spirit through the Holy Spirits indwelling. Sitting on the throne of your heart. He speaks to your spirit. You hear his voice. He's not barking orders at us. He says I love you! I chose you to be my own treasured child.
Watch a DVD, The Passion of the Christ. Does Jesus appear a mean dictator hanging on the Cross in shreds?
All the wars in the Mideast: lost lives are because Ishmael's descendants wrecked their lands and consumed their wealth on short term happiness. God blessed Ishmael more. They're rich.
But they COVET what God gave Israel. A tiny 9 mile wide strip of land. Look at all the blood spilt there!
Matthew 24; Luke 21 Everyone has been WARNED, 2000+ years. Mishael
Man believes salvation is his choice and not God's choice, contradicting scriptures. Man TEACHES this.
John 15:16 You have not chosen me but I have chosen you, and ordained you ..... Man does not TEACH this.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that God sent the Son to be Saviour of the world. Man TEACHES the SON is going to fail saving the world because it's man's choice and not God's Choice. Man TEACHES this. ( Revelation 2:24)
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN (even those that don't believe in this AGE ( Romans 9:18-21), specially those that believe (in the AGE).
1 Timothy 4:11 These things (saviour of all men) COMMAND AND TEACH. Many are called (to teach this) FEW are chosen.
Man TEACHES that those who don't CHOOSE Christ are going to HELL. Man TEACHES this. These TEACHINGS contradict all the above scriptures. ( Revelation 12:9).
Thy KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE.
Psalms 22:27 ALL the ENDS of the WORLD shall remember and TURN unto the LORD: and ALL the kindreds of the nation shall WORSHIP before thee.
Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that setteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Man not only does man NOT teach this, they don't BELIEVE this is TRUE. ( Revelation 12:9)
1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things have been subdued unto him. then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be ALL IN ALL.
Man does not TEACH this nor even believe it ( Revelation 12:9).
I do not know what you are going through, you did not give a lot of detail and that's ok, but may I just speak the plain truth. If you are truly being called back in the fold, the road back may not be short or easy. We cannot just say a prayer or two and everything will be hunky-dory again. Please do not compare what you are dealing with to Job, our words can come to be if you know what I mean.
We must all work out our path of salvation, Ezekiel 18:20 Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Read Luke 15:11-32 Are you there yet? The word of God is our only defense against the principalities and powers of evil and believe me, they do not let go easily and they can be quite vicious. Spend every spare minute in His word and prayer, truly repenting, not holding on to anything, if it is any kind of obstacle let it go, even if you lose it all. Revelation 2:5
We must truly admit and understand what we have done. Jeremiah 2:19 We must know it may take time and not at all be easy. Hosea 5:15 When we truly have repented without any doubt, He will return Jeremiah 3:22 2 Hosea 14:4
Jonah was a great man of God, but he backslid from the will of God and went in his direction, not Gods. Look what God sent him to get his attention and change his direction. You can do it but do not get discouraged if things get worse and the temptations, not from God, but from the adversaries trying to hold you back. Turn adversity into strength, for what we lose in this life is nothing to what we will lose in the life to come. Mark 35:8 that's not just our physical life, it is the life we choose to live.
My prayer is for you to have the strength you will need.
