Bible references:

Revelation 19:11-16

God knows where you live.

God knows where you are in life & in dealing with the Devil.

God knows you from the beginning.

God knows your name.

The Devil or his emissaries (fallen angels) can be seated next to you.

God knows.

Pergamos - literary city
- pagan gods
- place to worship Roman
emperor.

Witness : Martyr
Antipas was roasted.
Why didn’t Jesus come with soothing words?
Instead He said I see how much Devil you fight each day. I have a few things against you.
Either Jesus is insensitive and mean, or what He’s saying is extremely more important than your feelings.

In the Church, some were about to compromise = destroy the Church.

Problem: 2 doctrines
A) Old Testament - prophet for hire: Balaam. Curse Israel. Send low morals women to Hebrew men to tempt and infiltrate.
B) New Testament - repent.

Don’t marry just because you fall in love.
May love someone but need to get away from them.
Love is not behind morality, but morality is behind love.

Nicolaitans - Compromise with sin & still show in church on Sunday.

Jesus says repent or else I will come unto thee quickly & fight vs. them & undo them with the sword of my mouth.

Repentance brings healing.

King of kings and Lord of lords.

He that hath an ear, let him hear.

Hidden manna — words from God.
