Revelation 2:24-29



Revelation 2:24
'But I say to you, (1) the rest who are in Thyatira, (2) who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, (3) as they call them--I place no other burden on you.

I say to you :

 this is one of the places in Revelation 2-3 where the angel of the church is no longer addressed, but a specific group within the church receive direct address. 

…the rest who are in Thyatira,

From this statement we can able to understand there is a another group still hold the gospel. How in time of Elijah God kept 7000 people to follow His ways same like that here also there was a separate group for to follow the Gospel.
…who do not hold this teaching,

The above stamen means that, this group are not followed the Jezebel’s teaching or this group has completely stayed away from Jezebel’s teaching.

who have not known the deep things of Satan


            What are deep things or Satan? Whatever we are doing against God’s law or bible’s law that everything is Satan thinning and this taken at face value means that Jezebel and her children had association with Satan personally. The church at Smyrna faced a "synagogue of Satan," the church at Pergamum lived "where Satan’s throne is," and the church at Thyatira fought against "the deep things of Satan." The level of satanic involvement in the church should not be underestimated.



I place no other burden on you.

Burden : Here burden means whatever Jesus told who are not follow His ways. It mention in the Rev 2: 22 and 23. Jesus promise His follower I will not burden on you the same burden mentioned in the above verses.

Revelation 2:25
Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.
It’s clearly reference to the last days. Jesus instructs His follower hold my deeds and don’t go behind the Satan’s thoughts. At the same time Jesus mentioned here whoever still not follows Him to hold Him fast and follow him. Because His coming is very very near. We are living in the last hour.
Revelation 2:26
'And he who overcomes, and (2) he who keeps My deeds until the end, (2a) to him I will give authority over the nations; And he who overcomes,

And he who overcomes

Here the overcomer is clearly defined. In previous churches or following churches Jesus mention what are the befits or gift for the overcomer but here Jesus mentioned clearly what is the meaning of overcomer.

he who keeps My deeds until the end,

            The overcoming means who keeps His deeds until the end only called the overcomer.
Rev 2:10 God says “Be faithful unto death”

Revelation 2:27

Revelation 2:27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.

I will give authority over the nations = is the first reward given to those who guard the works of the Lord (the overcomer). This phrase and the subsequent ideas are modeled after Psalm 2:8-9. Christ is giving His authority to His bond-servants who are overcomers over the nations
 Revelation 5:10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."
Revelation 2:28
Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.I
Since there is only one morning star, but all overcomers are promised it, we know this is a figure of speech. The Lord’s point here is this: He will grant great honor.
In the beginning God created human same like Him. Same like here God giving granting the honor same like Him.
