The term Nicolaitan is derived from the Greek words "Nikolaos" meaning "victory of the people" and "laos" meaning "people".<br><br>The Nicolaitans were likely a group of believers who followed Nicolaus, a Christian leader who was possibly a priest or someone with a prominent position in the early Christian church. Unfortunately, very little is known about Nicolaus or the Nicolaitans beyond the fact that Jesus condemned their practices.<br><br>In the Rev 2:6, Jesus says, "Nay, I say unto you, that ye hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." In 2:15, it is written, "So also have the Nicolaitans their beginning, but they shall end it in that way, which is in the beginning, commited in Baal, and end in-Babylon, the symbols of idolatry and spiritual adultery".<br><br>It can be interpreted that the Nicolaitans were accused of compromising with the pagan and worldly values of the time, and merging them with Christian teachings. Jesus was warning the early church to avoid such practices and to remain faithful to God.
