The name Pergamon is derived from three words being that of per, gam or gamos and mon or man. The meaning of per is taken from heraldry being that is “divided by a line in the direction of.” The word gam or gamos is to represent marriage or holy marriage and it is also where we get the English word game which is a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

The name indicates the ancient spiritual and material battle in the form of a world-wide game for the rite to claim the title of the Throne of Caesar or the Tsar as Pontifex Maximus. A chess game through the Gnostic labyrinth of life that was created on the island named after a Greek word to create, Kriti, now called Crete at the temple and church of Pergamon.

What happened to the Church of Pergamon and the Throne of Satan?

The Cretans hold a distinct place in world history has one of the first primary builders of Western civilization by inventing the first religions, secret rites, and method of writing that was ever practiced in systems Europe. This is why Crete, the Cretans, and Pergamon play such a prominent role in the Scripture, and also in the time of the battles of the Gnostics when it was what Plutarch had called “Cretan against Cretan,” and they are labeled as the Nicolaitans.

Saint John makes it clear that it is in this city Pergamon is where Satan lives, and the inhabitants who hold to the teaching of the God Baal or Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality, and who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

This was a battle for power, knowledge, and control of all the Temples in the world. A time we can say that we had the Romans under the family of Caesar on one side, and their cousins of the Greeks under the family of Ptolemy on the other. Crete was the holiest and political power centers in all the world. What they had known as the center and navel of the world.

As it is said in Revelation 2:12-13 about the navel, “I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is (the chair of Satan is situated in the region of the navel. However, the atomic angel of the church of Pergamos is faithful): and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.”

As I explain in my article, The Ancient Naval Center of the Old World, the name Navy or Naval means “a central point; and or a middle” from the Latin medius, meaning middle, and terra, meaning earth.

These power struggles for the island eventually led to the destruction of the ancient temple in Pergamon under the Romans in the 1st century BC, and the first temple of the Roman imperial cult was built in Pergamum (c. 29 B.C.) in honor of Rome and Augustus. Later the Goths destroyed the Temple of Augustus in the 4th century AD. Soon thereafter, the temple was converted to a church and eventually became one of the main seven churches of Asia controlled by the power of the Universal Brotherhood united with the symbol of the double-headed Phoenix under the Roman and Greek Catholic Church.

After a slow decline, the city was favoured by several imperial initiatives under Hadrian (117 – 138). It was granted the title of metropolis and as a result of this an ambitious building program was carried out: massive temples, a stadium, a theatre, a huge forum, and an amphitheater were constructed. In addition, at the city limits the shrine to Asclepius (the god of healing) was expanded into a lavish spa.

Fast forward to during the time when the NAZI’s had sought to rule the world under German Chancellor Adolph Hitler, they began excavating the alleged altar on September 9, 1878. Hitler’s main archaeologist was Carl Humann who with his team moved the Throne of Satan back to Germany where it was reconstructed.

Its erection was celebrated in Berlin in the year 1902, and 31 years later 1933 Adolph Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany.

The NAZI Führer became the defacto dictator in 1934 and would later sit on the Throne of Satan when he ordered construction of the Tribune at Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg for future speeches. A German architect, Albert Speer had modeled Hitler’s podium for the Tribune after the original Pergamon Altar. In 1939, Hitler would commence World War II from this very Altar. After his defeat by the Russians in 1939, the Soviets dismantled the Pergamon Altar and shipped into Leningrad in 1948 as war loot. But later returned the Throne of Satan in 1958.

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is.” – Revelation 2:12

According to the Apostolical Constitutions (s), Caius was the first bishop of it; and it appears, that in the “second” century there were several in this place that suffered martyrdom for Christ, as Carpus, Papulus, and a woman whose name was Agathonice (t).

And the Christian name now is not wholly, though almost extinct; for when our countryman, Dr. Smith (x), was there, there was a little church called St. Theodore’s, whither a priest was frequently sent from Smyrna, to perform divine service, there being but a very few Christian families in it. This church represents the church from the time of Constantine, and onward, rising up to, and enjoying great power, riches, and honour Pergamos signifies high and lofty; things that were sublime and lofty, were, by the Greeks, called , and also all high and lofty towers (y).
