History
The Pergamon Altar is a massive structure
originally built in the 2nd century BC in the
Ancient Greek city of Pergamon.
The temple was dedicated to the greek god Zeus.
The Pergamon Altar was shipped out of the Ottoman
Empire from the original excavation
site by the German archeological team lead
by Carl Humann, and reconstructed in the
Pergamon Museum in Berlin in the 19th century,
where it can be seen alongside other monumental
structures such as
the Ishtar Gate from Babylon.
Revelation 2:12 "Pergamos.
Where Satan's throne is."
"Since the deified Augustus had
not opposed the founding at Pergamus a temple
to himself
and the city of Rome." - Tacitus
Annals Roman Historian
The Gigantomachy Frieze
The Altar has a 113 metre (371 feet)
long sculptural frieze depicting the gigantomachy,
or struggle of the gods and the giants. In
Greek
mythology, the Gigantes were a race of giants,
children of Ge (the primordial Earth mother),
who was fertilized by the blood of Ouranos that
resulted from his castration by Cronus.
Genesis 6:4 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.
The giants in Genesis refer to fallen angels
- Demons.
Death At Pergamon
"
Caesar without more
ado, left him and going straight to Pergamon
took all the pirates out of prison and crucified
them, as he had often told them he would do
in the island when they thought he was merely
jesting."
- Plutarch's Life of Caesar
Hitler's Architect
A German archaeologist,
Carl Humann, began excavating the altar
on Sept.9,
1878.
The altar was then moved back to Germany
and reconstructed. Kaiser Wilhelm II celebrated
its erection in
Berlin in 1902. In 1933 Adolph Hitler was
elected
Chancellor of Germany. In 1934 he became
dictator and ordered construction of the
Tribune at
Zeppelin Field in Nuremberg for his Nazi
rallies.
The architect, Albert Speer, used the Pergamon
Altar as the model for the Zeppelintribüne.
The Führer's
pulpit was in the center of the tribune,
which was built from 1934 to 1937. Adolph
Hitler,
the Evil King of Germany started World
War II in 1939. After the end of World
War II,
the Soviets took the Pergamon Altar to
Leningrad in 1948 (Same year as the Rebirth
of Israel)
as spoils. The Alter was later returned
in 1958.
The Romans were first and then the German
Nazis. The prophets in the Bible state Russia
will attack Israel in the final world war.
Scriptures
Revelation 2:12 And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the
sharp sword with two edges; I know
thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's throne is
Genesis 6:4 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. |
