Summary

About 30 years after the ascension of Jesus, Paul warns the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:29-30 ESV: "I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them." About 30 years after this, Jesus warned the Ephesians about Nicolaitans and said he "hates their works."

Are the Nicolaitans and the wolves speaking twisted things in Paul's warning the same? Did the Ephesians manage to get rid of the Nicolaitans, or have they spread throughout the church and are still present today under different names? Does it matter today?

The Nicolaitans are a rather obscure reference in the Bible, but inside you’ll see that the seeds of Nicolaitan teachings have produced fruit well into our own time. Nicolaitans don’t use that name anymore, but it might surprise you that they are still around. In this audiobook, the author illuminates biblical connections between Nicolaitans and other "elites" who lord their position over lay people. This includes Pharisees, Saduccees, scribes, Jezebel, Balaam, wolves in sheep's clothing, false teachers, works that are hated by Jesus, and modern teachers you may know.
