REVELATION 2:18-29
“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation where-
with ye are called” (Eph.4:1).
“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise” (Eph.5:15).
“Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the
same thing” (Ph.3:16).
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Th.5:21).
“But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and
the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end” (Heb.3:6).
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of
God, let us hold fast our profession” (Heb.4:14).
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)”
(Heb.10:23).
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked” (1 Jn.2:6).
“Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore
thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come
upon thee” (Rev.3:3).

(2:26-29) Overcomers—Promises: there are the promises to the overcomers. Two wonderful promises are made to the
believer who overcomes and does not compromise with the world—who overcomes the seduction, fornication, immoral-
ity, drunken and loose parties, idolatry, and false teaching of the world—who keeps on living and working for Christ.
1. The overcomer is given power over the nations (cp. Ps.2:8-9). This is clearly the promise of ruling and reigning
with Christ throughout eternity. The day is coming when Jesus Christ will return to earth and conquer all the forces of evil.
Every knee shall bow and confess that He is the Lord God of the universe. The overcomers shall participate in that day, the
glorious day of redemption with Jesus Christ. They shall be given positions of rule and service throughout the universe. They
shall serve the Lord Jesus Christ in the new heavens and earth.
“And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little,
have thou authority over ten cities” (Lk.19:17).
“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge [oversee, rule] the world? and if the world shall be
judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?” (1 Cor.6:2).
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and
am set down with my Father in his throne” (Rev.3:21).
“Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, be-
cause he hath known my name” (Ps.91:14).
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many
to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever” (Dan.12:3).
“The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to
walk upon mine high places” (Hab.3:19).
“Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. and I appoint unto you a king-
dom, as my Father hath appointed unto me” (Lk.22:28-29).
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us” (2 Tim.2:12).
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the
prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever” (Rev.1:5-6).
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the
souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had
not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or
in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” (Rev.20:4).

2. The overcomer is given the morning star. This is Jesus Christ Himself. Rev.22:16 calls Jesus, “the bright and
morning star.” The hearer and overcomer is to receive Jesus Himself forever and ever, never to be away from Him again.
Note: the person who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to this church. Let him separate from the world. Let him
never compromise and become corrupted with the sins of the world. Let him never allow a Jezebel—a compromising or cor-
rupt person—to teach in the church.
