“And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.”
And I will strike her children dead — and all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve — the judgment against her offspring (spiritual descendants) establishes Christ's role as judge of all humanity, knowing the deepest motivations (kardias, hearts, and nous, minds). Works receive corresponding reward or punishment; this affirms divine justice.
