The Church at Pergamos- lit "married" (Rev.2:12-17) Practical Prophetic To this Church, Christ is Pergamos describes the revealed with "the sharp period of Church history sword with two edges". The from AD 313 to 600 when the Word of God is a sharp sword "dividing asunder" (Heb.4:12). The Church is commended for holding fast the Lord's name and not denying the faith, even Church was "married" to the State. After Emperor Diocletian there was a power struggle in the Roman Empire; Constantine emerged as the undisputed ruler. During the struggle for power he in persecution. claimed to have seen a Condemnation comes for some who have compromised vision of a cross in the sky, and the words, "By this conquer". by holding the He adopted this doctrine of Balaam symbol, and aligned and the doctrine of the himself with the large Nicolaitanes.

We remember that the false In AD313, Constantine issued the prophet Balaam was forbidden to Edict of Toleration and curse Israel, but taught Balak, the Christianity became the official king of Moab, how to destroy religion of the Roman Empire, Israel through introducing immorality and idolatry into their replacing the Roman mystery religions. ranks (Numbers ch.25). The Church at Pergamos was to be separate from apostasy and the Thus Christianity became popular, and in AD325 Constantine presided over 318 sins of the flesh.

The Basics of Bible Prophecy Practical (cont.) To the overcomers who refuse to partake in pagan feasts God will give heavenly manna, a white stone of acquittal, and a new personal name indicating a close personal relationship with Christ. ( In Roman courts, the members of the court would cast a white stone into a bowl to indicate innocence). 150 Prophetic (cont.) The doctrine of Balaam which taught tolerance to idolatry and immorality, and the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes which elevated the clergy over the people, were certainly characteristic of the Pergamum period. The Byzantine State Church prepared the way for the Dark Ages under papal rule. The Church at Thyatira- lit"continual sacrifice" (Rev.2:18-29) Practical To Thyatira, the Lord is revealed as the "Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass." Christ is revealed in judgment to this Church. No other Church has descended to such depths of depravity, and no other Church has such awful judgment pronounced against it. Prophetic Thyatira aptly describes the fourth stage of Church history when the papacy began about AD600 with Gregory the Great (AD590-604). The continual sacrifice of the Mass became the central feature of the idolatrous Roman Catholic worship. Thyatira was also characterized by a woman who taught idolatry and fornication. Idolatry in Scripture is called fornication (Ezek.16:20-41). In addition, this church has the character of Jezebel, who slew the faithful prophets of the Lord. The same brutal character is seen in the Romish church which is “drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus”(Rev.17:6). Romish worship also has a woman at the centre as Mary is set forth as "the Queen of Heaven". This pagan practice existed in Jeremiah's day and was condemned by the prophet (Jer. 45:15-27).
