From Babylon to Pergamum to Germany -- Satan's Seat?

Postby Sunny on Sat Apr 06, 2013 5:29 am

Here are excerpts from an article on Revelation that I found fascinating, linking Satan's seat to Babylon, Pergamum and Berlin, and mentioning the possibility of evil spirits attaching themselves to physical artifacts.

The altar of Zeus and a replica of the Ishtar Gate were erected in Germany, where (coincidentally, of course) WWI and WWII started. And where Obama gave his famous speech as documented by J. R. Church.

Alexander Hislop, whom we mentioned above, explained the transfer of a counterfeit religious system from Babylon to other cultures all over the ancient world. The city of Babylon was the center of false religions. The Medes and Persians conquered Babylon in 538 BC. They came back later, in 487 BC to destroy the city. At that time, the Babylonian Magi relocated to Pergamum, a small city at the time, but in a strategic location. Hislop quoted historians from the mid-19th Century, who wrote, "The defeated Chaldeans fled to Asia Minor, and fixed their central college at Pergamos." (William Barker and William Ainsworth, Lares and Penates of Cilicia, 1853, pp 232-234).



We still need to determine what was meant by Satan's throne. Where was the center of evil in the city of Pergamum? Some would suggest the Asclepion, where serpents were worshipped. But the greatest symbol of pagan religion in the city was the Altar of Zeus on the acropolis above the city. It was a massive marble structure 117 ft. wide by 110 feet deep, and it was 40 feet high. Since the structure was a gigantic altar, it is thought that there were endless sacrifices offered there.

The base of the edifice is covered by high-relief friezes that depict the epic mythical battle between the Giants with serpent-legs and the Olympian gods. The site was excavated between 1878 and1886 by German archaeologists, and the massive panels of the friezes were taken to Berlin, where a museum was built to replicate the entire structure.
Spiritually speaking, it was unwise to cart so much of this massive structure all the way to Germany and glorify it by restoring it in this way. Do Satan and his demons attach themselves to evil artifacts like these? They certainly can if they want to. And maybe it is just a coincidence, but World War I was partly fomented by Germany shortly after the Museum was built.



The foundation of the original Pergamon museum in Berlin was weak, and the whole building needed to be enlarged, so a second museum was built in 1930, and in that one the explorers also built a replica of the Ishtar Gate from ancient Babylon!
A few years after the completion of the second Pergamon Museum Adolph Hitler sparked the beginning of World War II. Again, maybe it is coincidence....

'Was listening to some beautiful Christmas music - so lovely that it brought tears to my eyes. So I asked my youngest daughter, 16, who was doing homework, "I wonder what all the angels in heaven sound like when they are singing Glory to God?"
Without hesitation, she simply replied, "Warm."

Don't forget the DNC Rally in Denver 2008 where a replica of the Pergamon alter was erected. Remember this took place in a stadium who's mascot is a White Horse named "Thunder"..... You just can't make this stuff up. :wink: Wow the pics on this link say it all.. :eek:

"Obama’s stage at the 2008 Democratic convention was designed in the style of the Pergamon Altar, a Greek Temple, which is mentioned in the book of Revelation as the “Seat of Satan” or the “Throne of Satan,” depending on the translation. The biblical reference is not just to the altar, but to Pergamos as a regional center of the all powerful Roman state as well as a center of occult/pagan worship and persecution of the early Christians".

drdos, that article is staggering. We are traveling and I am very tired, so will have to re-read it tomorrow to absorb it all.

The first time I heard of some of those occurrences was when JR Church's introduced it in a 2009 video. That was when I first really starting thinking that Obama stood a good chance of really being the AC.

I saw a poll the other day, can't remember where. But it said that 13% of Americans think he is the AC and another 13% is not sure. (If I haven't mentally scrambled the numbers.)

I can't put it all together unless it's like the first time Christ came. Many were watching. Every single prophecy was fulfilled, but NO one saw it. Jesus had to explain it to his own disciples.

Yes, Kem... it really DOES raise a lot of questions!

Hey Sunny yeah it is very interesting, but makes perfect sense when we look back at history and see the same images of this abomination recreated. :blessyou:
