"Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"  (Matthew 11:11-15)

​

• 2) Who shall not be hurt by the second death. (Revelation 2:11)

​

• 3) Who receive some of the hidden manna to eat; and receive a white stone with a new name written on it (the New Jerusalem). (Revelation 2:17; 3:12)

​

• 4) Who keep His works until the end, and receive power over the nations and the morning star. (Revelation 2:26-29)

​

• 5) Who shall be clothed in white garments, whose names the Lord will not blot out from the Book of Life; He will confess their names before His Father and before His angels. (Revelation 3:5-6)

 

• 6) Who the Lord makes pillars in the temple of His God, and who shall go out no more; on who He writes the name of the Trinity, which is the "New Jerusalem" - the name of His God, the name of the city of His God, and His new name. (Revelation 3:12-13)

 

• 7) Who hear the Lord's voice, open the door, and dine with Him; who are granted to sit with Him on His throne, as He also overcame and sat down with His Father on His throne. (Revelation 3:19-22)

​

• Who do not worship the dragon who gives authority to the beast; nor worship the beast who was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies against the Holy Trinity described in the Holy Bible as "the heavenly Jerusalem" (Hebrews :12:22-24) and distinctly named "the New Jerusalem" (Revelation 3:12); overcomers whose names have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; overcomers who do not lead into captivity, and who do not kill with the sword; overcomer who keep the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:4-10)
