Transcript Lessons From Pergamum - WhiteDove Ministries


Rev 2:12-17 –And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:

The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this:

'I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast
My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas,
My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where
Satan dwells. 'But I have a few things against you, because you
have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept
teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to
eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. 'So
you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the
Nicolaitans. 'Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly,
and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth. '
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the
hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name
written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'

Ungers, quite significantly, includes a drawing of ‘The Altar to
Unknown Gods at Pergamos [Pergamum]’ in his entry on the city
so it seems reasonable to assume that Pergamum was similar to
Athens in this sense where Luke noted that ‘the city was full of
idols’ (Acts 17:16

The Lord’s Witness; the Faithful one.
1 Cor 10:20-22—No, but I say that the things which
the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and
not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers
in demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord
and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the
table of the Lord and the table of demons.
Antipas like Steven is specifically identified. Most

The spirit of Balaam=Merchandising the anointing
for unrighteous gain and false teaching. Numbers 22
2 Peter 2:15-16—Forsaking the right way, they have
gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the
son of Beor, who loved the wages of
unrighteousness; but he received a rebuke for his
own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking
with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the
prophet.

the spirit of Balaam has the outward appearance of
godliness but inwardly faithless and a false witness.

elected.
21st century governmental and church politics.
God has leadership but they are not the mediators
between mankind and the Father. Only Jesus Christ.
Current day Apostolic Hubs will eradicate the spirit
and empower the people with revelation and
authority to manifest His Kingdom
