The 3rd church, the church of Pergamos,
12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Here we see His church growing even weaker still, but now, as a first…we see that satan has a place he calls his own…”where satan‘s throne is“. And the place of his throne is where Antipas was martyred. And Antipas, was martyred in Rome.

This seat below is known as Cathedra Petri...the seat of the Apostle Peter. Construction started in 1647, and was complete in 1653 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Even though its construction was complete in 1653, the chair itself was not placed above the alter until January 17, 1666, and then dedicated in a ceremony on February 22 1666. (no joke!) A feast is held every year on this very date, February 22, in honor of the chair of St Peter. 2/22.....2+2+2=6....you cant make this stuff up folks!
Above the seat is a stained glass window of a dove that appears to be decending upon the chair, and the stained glass window is briken up into 12 sections. One would think this is in reference to the 12 Apostles, but not this time. Because right under the stained glass window, are 12 statues depicting the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
To the left is the floorplan of St Peter's basilica. The number to locate "Cathedral Petri" is # 52. It is located of the far west wall of the basilica facing east (top of floorplan). A perfect position to view the rising sun, and the rest of his church...How much more pagan can you get?
So, lets see...the chair is dedicated in a ceremony on January 17, 1666, and then honored in a feast day of Fefruary 22, 1666...and every February 22 since then. It sets on the far west wall of the Basilica facing the east toward the rising sun, with the 12 signs of the Zodiac calender underneath, and has a copy in stained glass of a dove descending upon it just as the Spirit of YHWH descended on the Messiah when He was baptised by John in the river Jordan. |
This seat ladies and gentlemen, is the very chair and throne of lucifer himself.
The church is now centered in Rome, just as history tells us. Emperor Constantine began construction on the old Basilica in 326, and was complete 333. But it wasn’t until pope Symmachus had his residence built in Rome in the 5th century, that Rome became the permanent home of the pope, which toady is known as the Lateran Palace.
As you can see in this letter, the church has become more and more infiltrated by the Gnostics and/or Nicolaitans. This form of teaching, as you can see here, is a stumbling block for believers. It says they are eating things sacrificed to idols and committing sexual immorality. The original message of the Apostles is growing even weaker still.
And their reward?
17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’
Is growing weaker…this time, no mention of life at all.
