Shalom to my fellow brothers and sisters. I’m led to warn those who don’t know about these two topics, because most of the world is into sports and wears this apparel and most of the world says Amen when they close a prayer. I want to make everyone aware of another deception to wake up those who honestly do not know.
Revelation 12:9
“And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who leads ALL the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”
SAYING AMEN
Amen comes from the name of the Egyptian deity/mighty one of life and procreation; identified with the sun deity as a supreme deity called “Amen-Ra/Amen Rah”. The Hebrew pronunciation for ending a prayer is Ah-main (Awe-main) without paying homage to a pagan deity. (assemblyoftrueisrael.com)
The “A’s” in Hebrew are pronounced “Ah” not “Aye”. Examples: Adam is pronounced “Ah-dahm”, Dan is pronounced “Don” and Gad is pronounced “God” in Hebrew. We should not be invoking the name of a pagan deity to end our prayers to our holy ELOHIM of Yisra’el!
Awaken to the truth, Coptic Prayers. St Basil adds:
“They Egyptian Ruler Akhenaton had the people worship in the temples of Amen Ra, meaning god’s sun/son. At the end of the services they would say “Amen”, because they were sending a prayer to the gods through Amen-Ra, god’s sun/son. Amen-Ra, served as a personal savior to them, since its (SUN) gave them all life.”
That is interesting because we see how Satan plays on words saying the “SUN” gave life when we know that the “SON” of YHWH, YESHUA gave us life! Do you see the deception?
Smith’s Bible Dictionary adds:
“An Egyptian divinity…he was worshipped… as Amen-Ra or “Amen the Sun.”
NIKE (Yes, the clothing company)
Paul’s words are so true when he says in Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
There is a constant unseen spiritual battle happening, so why give the enemy support by wearing the name of a false pagan god? I’m referring to something as innocent as wearing athletic apparel. Did you know that “Nike” is the name of the Greek goddess of victory? Yes, she was a pagan Greek goddess before she became the name for athletics. However, it is interesting to note that Nike is the official sponsor of the Olympics and whenever gold medals are presented they have her image on them. According, to Doc Marquis, filmmaker of Occult Holidays, says there is an ancient pagan custom used during the games to conjure up the spirits to bless the games and those spirits are called “Nikes.” The swoosh logo supposedly indirectly represents what Nike was known for which was swooping down, but it is said not to be a fact.
Would YESHUA ever wear the shirt, hat, or shoes of a pagan goddess? No, He wouldn’t!
Leviticus 19:2
“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’el, and say to them, ‘Be holy, for I YHWH your ELOHIM am holy.”
Mathew 5:48
“Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect.”
And to prove this all we have to do is look at what He has to say about the Nikolaiten’s whose name was derived from Nike. Modern Bible versions spell it “Nicolaitians” but the original spelling looks very close to “Nike” being spelled Nik-olaitens”.
Revelation 2:6 says in YESHUA’s own words:
“Yet this you have, that you hate the works of the Nikolaitens, which I also hate.”
Then again in Revelation 2:15:
“So you also have them that hold the teaching of the Nikolaiten’s, which thing I hate.”
We can conclude that the Nikolaiten’s were mixed into the church spreading a false doctrine (probably about their pagan deity Nike) and YESHUA saw it and hated it. But just like those churches who allowed the Nikolatians to stay and bring confusion is the same way believers today are not purging the evil out of their lives. False teachings don’t belong in the church the same way false pagan deities in the form of idols, symbols, names of food companies should not be found in your homes or on your bodies. As Paul stated, we wrestle against unseen spirits, so having a pagan deities name all over your body doesn’t bode well with our Messiah and other blessings it may be holding you back from.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
“Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness with lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? And what agreement has Messiah with Beliya’al? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever? And what union has the Tabernacle of ELOHIM with idols? For you are a Tabernacle of the living ELOHIM, as YHWH has said, “I shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their ELOHIM, and they shall be My people.” Therefore, “Come out from among them and be separate says YHWH, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you. And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says YHWH El Shaddai.”
Satan has deceived the world again because he knows that wearing Nike is equivalent to wearing a shirt or hat with the following names on it: Satan, demon, Baal (Lord), Nimrod, Sun god, Semaramis, or Queen of heaven. How does that shirt look to you now?
Jeremiah 10:2
“Do not learn the way of the gentiles…”
Followersofyah.com adds:
The Roman Magistrate enforced Lionian Laws, restricting the amount of land an individual could own. We can find the sanctuary of Athena, who the Greeks believed to be the deity of intelligence and arts. The Greeks also set up the Great Altar of Zeus. To them, this deity was the lord of the sky, the god of all gods. This statue was huge, sitting at an impressive height of four stories. The interior was mostly statue. In his hand sits NIKE (victory). Interesting to know that there is a bronze statue of Jupiter (Zeus) in the Vatican, that has a toe hanging over also. This statue has been renamed St. Peter by the Universal Church. Millions have rubbed and kissed this toe! Athena is also seen with Nike in her hand.
Sadly, the congregation in Pergamos know His Name yet they kept the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes. Whereas, the congregation in Ephesus, there remained those who hated the deeds of the Nicolaitanes. What exactly is the doctrine that caused division amongst those early believers? Does it still exist today?
According to the "Strong's Complete Bible Words", we find the following under Nicolaitanes, #3531 (nikolaites) adherent of Nicolaus, derived from #3532 nicolas #3532 Nikolaos, victorious over the people. Nikao #3528 to subdue, conquer and Nike #3529, victory.
Breaking down the word, we get Nikao-(to conquer #3528) and Laos-(people #2992). The doctrine of the Nicolaitanes is to conquer or subdue the people of a congregation. When one lordships or rules over the people. One has been exalted ruling over the people. Now we can begin to get a clearer picture on why Yahushua Ha Mashiach hates this doctrine.
The deception runs very deep even down to the things people say and wear every day. The path is narrow my brothers and sisters and we must do everything to stay on it.
Please share this with everyone who needs to hear it. And as always may our Father YHWH bless you in YESHUA’s Name.
