REVELATION 3:7-13
“And ye [the rebellious people] shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord
GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name” (Is.65:15).
“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole
year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
called Christians first in Antioch” (Acts 11:26).
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out:
and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Je-
rusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name”
(Rev.3:12).

4. They will receive the name of the city of God, the new Jerusalem. They will become the citizens of the new Jerusa-
lem, of the capital of the new heavens and earth.

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all” (Gal.4:26).
“For our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the
Lord Jesus Christ” (Ph.3:20).
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels” (Heb.12:22).
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner
of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the
coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Pt.3:10-13).
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall
be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful”
(Rev.21:1-5).

5. They will receive the Lord’s new name. What will this new name be? No one knows but God Himself, and He has
not yet revealed it.

“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name writ-
ten, that no man knew, but he himself” (Rev.19:12).

This much we know: when Christ comes in all His majesty and glory and conquers all, we shall be marked as His servants
and share in His glorious triumph. He will gain the victory for us, the victory over all enemies including the most terrible
enemy of all—death and hell.

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you” (Ro.16:20).
“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).
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”
(Rev.21:4).
