Over-comers Inheriting All Things Revelation 21:7

After all the events of the tribulation period, the millennial reign of Jesus and the “Great White Throne” judgment, John the apostle wrote, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” John added, “and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely”, and in Revelation chapter twenty-one and verse seven John shares how, “he that overcomes shall inherit all things” where we read:

He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

The verse reads, “He that overcomes shall inherit all things;” John began with the words, “he that overcomes” which means “the person who conquers, prevails and gets the victory” “shall inherit” or “will receive by lot or inheritance and be an heir of” “all things” which means “each, every, the whole and everyone of whatsoever has been and will be”. John heard God say the person who “conquers and prevails” will be an “heir” of everything.

The verse goes on to say, “and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” John added the words, “and I will be” which means “and God will exist as” “his God” which means “that person whether male or female's Deity”, “and he shall be” or “and that person whether male or female will exist as” “my son” which refers to “God's offspring, descendant and posterity”. In addition to “inheriting all things”, God has promised to have a relationship with His believers as His “children” and He is their “God”.

When we meditate upon John's words in this verse, we see such great a precious promises for those who yield their lives to Jesus Christ, God's Son. Not only are they promised an “everlasting” relationship with Him, but also are to inherit everything that is available. Let all who read these words yield their lives to Jesus and receive.

Next time John shares, “the fearful, unbelieving and” more “shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
