One take on Nicolaitans I’ve heard: a lot of Greek names have the “Nico” part in it, like Nicholas. Nicolaitans therefore has to do with the Greeks = especially those wicked early Christians who used the Greek “Ieusus” = evil perverters of the Hebrew Yeshua.
Save that “Nicolas” nonsense, the word is a very plain Greek word. Nicolas means conqueror.
Games show your intent well, do they not!
