Strong’s Definition

Victorious over the people.
I believe the Nicolaitanes in Revelation chapter 2:6 are also the 7,000 fallen angels, which includes the ten fallen angel kings that are cast out of heaven at the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet with Satan (the Dragon).
At the woe of the fifth trumpet is when the four winds are released, and it is when the five-month long hour of temptation begins. the Dragon which is one of Satan’s names along with his fallen angles will be here on earth throughout that whole Hour of Temptation.
Revelation 12:7-9 KJVS
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
It is directly in the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation the Sixth Trumpet will sound, and that is when the woe of the fifth trumpet passes, and the woe of the sixth trumpet begins. At, and during the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet is when these fallen angels (names of blasphemy) will claim victory over the fourth part of earth (all the earth) with doctrine of the Nicolaitanes which is Satan’s deception. They will transform into false priest, thus becoming a defiled priesthood for Satan whose name is Abaddon in the Hebrew, but Apollyon in the Greek written in Revelation chapter 9 verse 11.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 KJVS
[14] “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
In the middle of that five-month long hour of temptation is when the ultimate deception from Satan’s appearance as the False Prophet will blaspheme God’s Truth. This ultimate fulfillment of deception will be from the fallen angel’s god not ours, and through the doctrine they will hold.
These fallen angels, and their doctrine will hold no Water (Truth) which is the Living Water who is Jesus Christ, during the woe of the sixth trumpet. Their doctrine is as dry as their king that gives it.
Satan is referred to the dry bramble bush that will reign and have victory over the fourth part of earth (trees) during the woe of the sixth trumpet (Judges Chapter 9 verses 14 and 15.)
Satan who has many names, is the Nicolaitanes king.
Revelation 9:10-11 KJVS
“And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”
Satan’s fallen angels (Locust Army) will have tails like unto scorpions (Revelation Chapter 9 verse 10, that will turn into Serpent Tails , and will hurt with deception, at the sixth trumpet (read on Revelation Chapter 9 verses12 through 21.)
This stinging, and torment from the ultimate doctrine of deception will allow these blasphemous fallen angels ( Nicoliatanes) to become spots in the feast of charity that will be held for their king (Satan) at the woe of the sixth trumpet (middle to the end of the five-month long hour of temptation,) when the Great Apostacy, takes place.
You see this here in the book of Jude.
Jude 1:12 KJVS
“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;”
The fruit (deception) from these trees will be from their tree whose name is also Apollyon, which is Satan’s role of antichrist that will have the mouth of blasphemy during the time span of the sixth trumpet.
These fallen angels are clouds (a group) without water, which is to say …no Living Water.
I also believe that this holds a physical meaning as well. As we have already discussed in Part One of this study, these 7000 fallen angels refused to be born of women into this second world age.
John 3:3-6 KJVS
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
Every soul needs to be born of women in this second world age, born innocent to make up their minds if they will love God or not.
Because of the Rebellion in the first world age, this second world age was created, to bring Salvation for those who decide to accept it. (See A Moment of Time Study @ Deepwellbiblestudies.com.)
So, when the fallen angels refused to come through a mother’s birth sack (water) in Genesis chapter 6, and after with the second influx, they forfeited their chance of having the Living Water who is Jesus Christ, thus making them clouds (group) without Water.
By refusing The Living Water (Jesus Christ) through this second world age they are without The Water that brings Eternal Life.
These 7000 fallen angels are twice dead because they are reserved for blackness, and darkness forever after the hour of temptation at the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet.
They are twice dead, plucked up by their roots because they were never rooted in the True Root, who is Jesus Christ, and also, they chose not to be rooted in this second world age in the flesh, to be watered by Salvation, from the Living Water, Jesus Christ.
Their Condemnation.
Jude 1:13 KJVS
“Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. “
Blackness of darkness forever.
At the end of the five-month long hour of temptation comes the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet, and that is when these fallen angels ( Nicoliatanes) will ultimately perish.
You see this condemnation (Jude Chapter 1 verse 4) given to them through the pouring out of the Seventh Vial which is their final judgment, their permanent destruction.
Why is the way of Cain, the error Balaam, and the gain saying of Core brought up in Jude? (See Part One of this study)
Through the ways of Cain come the way of the Kenites, who control the Four Hidden Dynasties that serve the desires of flesh.
And the error (deceit, to deceive, delusion) of Balaam who was a false priest that desired treasure.
The fallen angels desired the daughters of men in Genesis Chapter 6
Genesis 6:1-4 KJVS
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
And after that that desire would continue with a second influx.
The fallen angels left their heavenly Habitat and desired what wasn’t theirs, and we’ve seen Core (Korah,) and his group have a desire to gainsay and go against our Heavenly Father also by desiring what wasn’t theirs.
Let’s go to the book of Numbers Chapter 16.
Numbers 16:11 KJVS
“For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord : and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?”
Remember they wanted the priesthood.
Numbers 16:12-14 KJVS
“And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: [13] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? [14] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.”
Did Dathan, and Abriam call Egypt the land of milk, and honey?
Its apparent here in Numbers chapter 16 we are seeing falsehoods by strife, and contention, to gainsay against Gods true order. These revolters provoked our Heavenly Father.
Feel free to read on in Numbers Chapter 16, to see the rest of this story, but for the point of this study, we will skip down a few verses to see condemnation of Core, Dathan and Abriam, and all that appertain to them.
Moses speaks to this rebellion.
Numbers 16:30-33 KJVS
“But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord . [31] And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: [32] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. [33] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
Perhaps with Cores Dathan and Abriams destruction we may see a parallel to the punishment of the fallen angels. Let’s go back to those Nicolaitanes in Revelation.
Revelation 16:17-18 KJVS
“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.”
The 7000 fallen angels will meet their fate (Condemnation) at the pouring out of the Seventh Vial at the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet. They will ultimately perish in the gainsaying of Core.
The ground will open its mouth ,
Revelation 11:13 KJVS
“And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven”
The 7,000 fallen angels which includes the ten fallen angel kings will perish in their Judgment. As you can see the remnant will also be affrighted when they see this, just like there were those who were quite frightened when they seen what happened to Korah and his group back in Numbers Chapter 16.
However, unlike the fallen angels that are plucked up, and twice dead that will perish in their judgment at the woe of the seventh trumpet, Korah, and his group have upon Christ resurrection or will have a chance for the Living Water if they haven’t accepted that eternal Salvation already.
1 Peter 3:18-19 KJVS
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: [19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;”
And I believe when Jesus Christ was crucified, He gave Korah, and a great multitude of others a chance at Salvation when He preached to them three days and three nights in the earth; giving them a chance to resurrect with Him into life Eternal.
Matthew 12:39-40 KJVS
“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: [40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Even into the earth, for those in the prison of death, Praise God!
Perhaps Korah, and company may have been relieved.
This study was to point out the examples that are all throughout the Bible of what happened, and what’s to come.
1 Corinthians 10:5-11 KJVS
“But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. [6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. [7] Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. [8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. [9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. [10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. [11] Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”
Similarities between fallen angels, and the strife of Core? Study for yourself, to show thyself approved.
Seems to me that what will lead many to become ungodly, is lust and covetousness.
These examples are of men and beings that have an unsatisfied and unquenchable desire of lust that can never be fulfilled.
Lust, coveting, murmuring will lead you gainsaying, and then to blasphemy; blasphemy in return will land you in the lap of the Beast that has many names (Revelation chapter 17 Verse 1 through 5.) Abaddon, Apollyon, Little Horn, the Dragon, Son of Perdition, those are just a few names along with 7,000 names of men who are of Satan’s blasphemy that will be Part Of the Defiled Beast at the woe of the sixth trumpet.
Hold that fast, which thou hast, and receive the real Name of Victory,
Revelation 3:10-12 KJVS
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. [11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. [12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
Revelation 2:15-17 KJVS
“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. [16] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. [17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”
All of those who come through this second world age and accept His Name, and those who will overcome at the end will have The True Name, the True Rock, that offers the True Victory, that Name is Jesus Christ.
