The Synagogue of Satan


Book Description




The Origin of Satan


Book Description

From the National Book Award-winning and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of The Gnostic Gospels comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his role on the Christian tradition. "Arresting...brilliant...this book illuminates the angels with which we must wrestle to come to the truth of our bedeviling spritual problems." —The Boston Globe With magisterial learning and the elan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satan’s story into an audacious exploration of Christianity’s shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.




The Synagogue of Satan


Book Description

About two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to the apostle John on the Island of Patmos and revealed to him the existence of an ancient Satanic fraternity that still exists to this day. Jesus called it the Synagogue of Satan, but it has been called by many different names down through the years by many different people and cultures. Those groups who actually worshipped Satan, both then and now, have always been mysterious and obscure to the general public, which have always found it very hard to explain their very existence. On the back cover of this book is the depiction of a temple or cathedral located atop the mountain in southern France known as Montsegur, which means a secure mountain. Archeologists and historians tell us they believe this ruin was once a solar temple, but the Catholic Church repeatedly labeled this structure "The Synagogue of Satan".

Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia In their Local Setting


Book Description

With a new foreword by David E. Aune, this modern classic by Colin J. Hemer explores the seven letters in the book of Revelation against the historical background of the churches to which they were addressed. Based on literary, epigraphical, and archaeological sources and informed by Hemer's firsthand knowledge of the biblical sites, this superb study presents in the clearest way possible a picture of the New Testament world in the later part of the first century and its significance for broader questions of church history.




Synagogues of Satan


Book Description

Rev 12:11, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death." False teachings about this verse led to the writing of a deep study about the subject. You can read these false teachings in the book. After finishing the study and in view of the current political climate, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to do 2 Chronicles 7:14 and then a series of deeper studies ensued. Under the guidance and unction, these studies led to a common theme, thus the title synagogues of Satan. I had no inclination in my heart to write a book, but following the lead of the Holy Spirit, I did exactly that. I hope this small book will enlighten your understanding and increase the Lord's power in and through you. I also hope this book will also serve as a template as an effective way to study the word. Be blessed because you are.

Synagogue of Satan


Book Description

To which of us did Christ speak these last words? I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love (Revelation 2:4). I will come unto thee quickly [suddenly], and remove thy candlestick [church/denomination] out of his place, except thou repent (Revelation 2:5). I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews [the true elect], and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9). Thou hast there them that ... eat things sacrificed unto idols, and commit fornication (Revelation 2:14). I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. I have not found thy works perfect before God (Revelation 3:1). Thou sufferest ... my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Behold, I will cast ... them that commit adultery ... into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death (Revelation 2:20,22,23). Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. Buy of me gold tried in the fire and white raiment, that ... the shame of thy nakedness not appear; and anoint thine eyes ... that thou mayest see (Revelation 3:17-18).
