The book of Revelation
contains
visions
of the
end
times, dire warnings
and describes the triumphant return
of Jesus Christ. It also describes the rewards
in store for us in heaven if
we
overcome (nikao)
and get the victory.
νενικηκατε
"To the angel of
the church in
Thyatira
write: These are the
words of the Son of God, whose
eyes are like blazing fire and
whose feet are like burnished bronze.
I know your
deeds, your love
and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing
more than you did at first.
Nevertheless, I
have this against
you: You tolerate that woman
Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she
misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating
of food sacrificed to idols.
I have given
her time to repent of
her immorality, but she is unwilling.
So I will cast her on a bed of
suffering, and I will make those
who commit adultery with her
suffer intensely, unless they
repent of her ways.
I will strike
her children dead.
Then all the churches will know
that I am he who searches hearts
and minds, and I will repay each
of you according to your deeds.
Now I say to
the rest of you in
Thyatira, to you who do not hold
to her teaching and have not
learned Satan's so-called deep
secrets (I will not impose any
other burden on you):
Only hold on to
what you have
until I come.
To him who
overcomes
(nikao),
and does
my will to the end,
I will give
authority over the
nations--
'He will rule them
with an iron
scepter; he will
dash them to
pieces like pottery'
-- just as I have
received
authority from my Father.
I will also
give him the morning star.
He who has an
ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.

2:18-29

Thyatira
He who has
an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes (nikao),
and does
my will to the end, I will give

over the nations--
'He will rule them with an iron
scepter; he will dash them to
pieces like pottery'--
just as I have
received authority from my Father.
I will also

Revelation 2:26-28
Located in modern Turkey, it is now known as
Akhisar. Thyatira was a city in Asia Minor (modern Turkey)
on the Lycus River. While in Philippi, Paul and his companions were
invited to stay at the house of Lydia (after she and her household
were baptized).

the new heaven and new earth
He who overcomes
(nikao)
will inherit all this,

and he will be my son
Revelation
21:6-7
"Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am
the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for
ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
"Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is
now
and what will take place later. The mystery of the
seven stars that you saw in my right hand and
of the seven golden lampstands is this:
The seven stars are the angels of the seven
churches,
and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Revelation 1:17-20
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First
and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs, those who practice
magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves
and practices falsehood.
