Summing up the book of Revelation



To the one who is victorious:
-         I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God …

-        will not be hurt at all by the second death …

-         I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name  written on it, known only to the one who receives it …

-        I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[b]—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star …

-        Will be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels …

-         I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name …

-        I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne …

These are the words
-           of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands
-           of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again 
-           of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword
-           of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze …
-           of him who holds the seven spirits[b] of God and the seven stars …
-           of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open
-           of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation

to be continued ...
