“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
The one who conquers, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall they go out of it, and I will write on them the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God, and my own new name — the overcomer becomes permanently fixed in God's temple (eschewing exile), bearing three names: God's, the new Jerusalem's, and Christ's. These names signal complete incorporation into the eschatological covenant community and intimate relationship with the divine.
