Revelation 2 pt. 2 – What does "he who overcomes" mean? 2025

Rev 2:26
'And he who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;

We are told here what "he who overcomes" means. It means "he who keeps my works until the end." The reward for those who keep His works until the end will be that He will give authority over the nations. This is a quote from the Tanakh.
Daniel 7:18 ‘But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’

Daniel 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

Daniel 7:27 ‘Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’

Those who follow righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

Dan 12:3-4 “And those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4“But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”
The Letters to the Seven Assemblies (Part 1)
We are studying the seven letters to the seven assemblies in Revelation chapter 2.

We are told that the assembly at Ephesus had "left their first love." What is meant by this? It is NOT that they "do not love Jesus enough." The letter to Smyrna and Paul's letter to Ephesians give us the answer!

Follow along with us as we explore these valuable messages to these assemblies!
