in addition to some great descriptions of jesus, revelation 2 and 3 is also full of some great promises. jesus promises that "[to] the one who conquers..."
"...I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God." (2:7)
"...will not be hurt by the second death." (2:11)
"...I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it" (2:17)
"...I will give authority over the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron... and I will give him the morning star." (2:26-28)
"...will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels." (3:5)
"...I will make him a pillar in the temple of God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of Heaven, and my own new name." (3:12)
"...I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne." (3:21)
this gets me excited for the new earth!
