| | |And now in the early years, or just before this taken place (a few years), '''Satan’s seat''' built the great… I guess you would call him a prie-… king-priest of the Chaldeans. The hierarchy of Babylon changed his seat when the Persians was pursuing him, and he left Babylon. '''His name was A-t-t-a-l-u-s, Attalus, the great king-priest of Babylon.''' When the Persians came in and taking over Babylon, '''running out the Chaldeans'''; Attalus, their king-priest, '''fled and took his seat at Pergamos'''. “The '''Satan’s seat''' is where you are dwelling.” Get it? | ||
Now, that’s why I go back to pick up this history out of the church history, finding where…to what taken place when He said, “You are dwelling where Satan’s seat is.” | |||
I thought, “Well, where could that be, a certain thing, ‘Satan’s seat’?” Then I find out that this great king, after he was fleeing from the conquering Persians that taken over (according to Daniel’s vision), he came to this city of Pergamos, at Rome, and there made his headquarters. Satan shifted his headquarters from Babylon to Pergamos, where (future) he would start the new Babylon. Oh, my! Now you get the backgrounds where we’re at. All right.<ref>William Branham, 60-1207 - The Pergamean Church Age, para. 97-99</ref> | |||
|In this Message Pergamos is spoken of as '''“Satan’s Seat.”''' When '''Attalus III, the Priest-King of the Chaldean Hierarchy,''' fled before the conquering Persians to Pergamos, and settled there, '''Satan shifted his capital from Babylon to Pergamos'''.<ref>Clarence Larkin, The Book of Revelation: A Study of the Last Prophetic Book of Holy Scripture (Philadelphia, PA: Rev.

|Now, in doing this, they consolidated and made the early…formed the early Catholic church, later. Then at the first great Nicene Council…When I read that, I just fell on my knees. The great Nicene Council had taken place in a.d. 325, all of them was brought together, the bishops and fathers of the Christian faith was brought together at Nicaea. That’s the reason it’s called the Nicaea Council, in a.d. 325. And about '''fifteen hundred delegates''' came to the—the—the convention, or the council, about fifteen hundred delegates, and '''the laity outnumbered the bishops five to one''' (in the delegation); but yet, through the Nicolaitanes (the cold formals) and Constantine’s politicianal plan, they out-voted the true Church and won the victory, and issued in bishops and holy order of men; taking the—the Holy Spirit from the meeting, and placing it upon bishops, cardinals, and popes, and so forth. | |||
Now, this first Nicene Council, and it was in a.d. 330…325. About fifteen hundred delegates and bishops attended the meeting, but they overruled them, in some foggy, '''stormy council''' it was. And they overruled them, and voted in that the Nicolaitanes took over, and that was to take the…all the church, and put it under a supervision of popes or—or bishops, or something; taking the power from the Church and giving it over to the bishops, that the bishops should rule the church and the only one that had anything to say about It.<ref>william Branham, 60-1207 - The Pergamean Church Age, para. 127, 133</ref> | |||
|And the foothold it had secured in the Church was seen in the First Great Council of the Church held at Nicaea, in A. D. 325. The Council was composed of about 1500 delegates, the laymen outnumbering the Bishops 5 to 1. It was a stormy council, full of intrigue and political methods, and from the supremacy of the “Clergy” over the “Laity” it was evident that the “Doctrine of the Nicolaitanes” had secured a strong and permanent foothold.<ref>Clarence Larkin, The Book of Revelation: A Study of the Last Prophetic Book of Holy Scripture (Philadelphia, PA: Rev.

|That’s the '''birthplace of post-millennium'''. And that’s the reason the Catholic doesn’t teach the coming of Jesus, to this day. “It’s all in the church. This is the Millennium. The church owns everything. This is it.” See, post-millennium (Oh, my!) without the return of Jesus Christ. This lasted unto '''the ''assassination'' of Constantine which come between 312 and—and…a.d. 312 and 606. Then Boniface III was made the universal bishop''' or pope over the whole universal church.<ref>william Branham, 60-1207 - The Pergamean Church Age, para. 263</ref> | |||
|'''It was at this time that “Post-Millennial Views” had their origin.''' As the Church had become rich and powerful, it was suggested that by the union of Church and State a condition of affairs would develop that would usher in the Millennium without the return of Christ, and since some scriptural support was needed for such a doctrine, it was claimed that the Jews had been cast off “forever,” and that all the prophecies of Israel’s future glory were intended for the Church. This “Period” extends from the '''''accession'' of Constantine A. D. 312 to A. D. 606, when Boniface III was crowned “Universal Bishop.”'''<ref>Clarence Larkin, The Book of Revelation: A Study of the Last Prophetic Book of Holy Scripture (Philadelphia, PA: Rev.
