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
Pergamum write:
These are the
words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
I know where
you live--
where Satan has his throne.
Yet you remain true to my name.
You did not renounce your faith
in me, even in the days of
Antipas,
my faithful witness,
who was put to death in your
city-- where Satan
lives.
Nevertheless, I
have a few things against you: You have people
there who hold to the
teaching
of Balaam, who taught Balak
to entice the Israelites to sin by
eating food sacrificed to idols
and by
committing sexual
immorality.
Likewise you
also have those
who
hold to the teaching
of the Nicolaitans.
Repent
therefore! Otherwise,
I will soon come to you and will
fight against
them with the
sword of my mouth.
He who has an
ear, let him
hear
what the Spirit says
to the churches.
To him who overcomes
(nikao),
I will give some of the hidden
manna. I will
also give him
a white stone with
a new
name written on it, known
only to him who receives it.

Jesus to John after describing
the new heaven and new earth
He who overcomes
(nikao)
will inherit all this,
and I will
be his God
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.
