Identifying & Understanding the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
This thread will be a continuous work in progress for a while, to fully unpack this subject, so please feel free to Book Mark this Page, and check back regularly.
For any Believer that does not understand what The Lord Jesus Christ is saying here, the most important thing to do first is to ASK Jesus Christ for the eyesalve for understanding and to buy gold, as if tried by fire from Him. If you do not understand the meaning of the parabolic use of those words, ASK The Lord, in FAITH, believing and not doubting, to give you understanding.
Notice that "Nicolaitans" is capitalized. Also notice in verse 6, the word "deeds" implying action verb to the Pronoun, "Nicolaitans.
Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Nicolaitans = Egyptians - their doctrine consists of their images of idols and the related Occult practices used to deceive people within the Churches and the Nations of the world.
This doctrine is a doctrine that The Lord Jesus Christ hates just as he hates the doctrine of Balaam.
I did a word searches on e-Sword for Egypt, Egyptian, Egyptians, and Nicolaitans and posted copy of each search result into this thread:

The purpose is to provide a basic outline, although it is not simple, to encourage prayerful Bible reading on this very important subject as there is a growing famine for the hearing of the words of The Lord, and leaven has permeated into all Church Denominations.
The Lord Jesus Christ said that when He returns, He will return to the place where He was crucified, and that place is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt.
Egypt is referenced in the Prophetic Books of the Bible, and is a key component of End Times Prophecy.
Even with this basic brevity, there is still much expounding to do on this topic. I wanted to share a bit here this morning for the benefit of readers that are interested in this topic.
Revelation is meant to be understood, but yet, we see and hear many "Pastors" confess that they have no understanding of the most important Prophetic Book of the Bible, and this is result of the growing famine. There are a number of reasons why it is that they do not understand this Book; and primary observations of them conclude that many have not actually sat down to prayerfully read The Holy Bible in its full context. There are no shortcuts. ALL Books of The Holy Bible are necessary to PRAYERFULLY read in order to be able to grasp what is written in Revelation.
Just as Egypt is mentioned, referenced, and expounded upon throughout The Holy Bible, so also has been Balaam, Sodom and Gomorrah, and many, many, other related topics and issues.
God is still alive and in charge, and He is still saving people of all tribes, tongues, kindreds, and nations. My admonition to every Believer is to PRAY and READ The Holy Bible without delay, seeking The Lord while it is still day.
May God bless you, and may He bless the reading and hearing of His holy words!
