A false christ therefore will seek to take headship over the Body. He will try to dominate, manipulate, influence and rule over the Body, or the part of it at his disposal.

False christs (and ultimately THE false christ, the Man of Sin) are the "Nicolaitan" or dominionist rulers, the deeds of which God says HE HATES! Did you know God hates things?

"But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." (Rev 2:6)

"Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate." (Rev 2:15)

Why is the dominionist likened to the "Nicolaitan?" It is a play on words. Nicolaitan is composed of NICO= Victor or Conqueror and LAOS (from which we get the Laity) = the people. Thus a Nicolaitan is one who rules over the common people - a Dominionist!

The most notable feature of the Roman Catholic Church is its use of a Priestly class who rule over the people. This was recognized to be unbiblical eventually, due to the Protestant Reformation, BUT its use was never quite abolished, even in non-Roman churches.

Now, we have a whole new class of "priests" who style themselves "apostles" and "prophets" and "teachers" but whose aim is to rule over, influence and control the people. They exert dominion power and authority, in the Name of Christ, but they are far from Godly ministers. They are not servants of all, but lords of all: arrogant, men-serving, lovers of flattery, self-exalting, beyond correction, vainglorious and abusive to those underneath them.

These are a whole new breed of Nicolaitans, and the Lord HATES their deeds. He will bring them to justice, and expose everything they have been plotting and planning. But in the meanwhile, he forewarns us to be on our guard against such false christs, and to understand that in the last days these people will arise, in order to deceive, if possible, even the very elect.

Do not bow the knee to these men! Do not give up your godly inheritance for a "mess of pottage," because no earthly thrill or power is worth giving up your hope of salvation. "And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you." (Gal 2:4-5)

"Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds." (2 John 9-11)
