Notes

Revelation 2:11

Staying faithful until death is seen as a victory. Overcoming the second death means gaining eternal life (see Revelation 20:5–6, 14; 21:8).

Revelation 2:8–11

The letter to the church in Smyrna describes suffering Christians under intense pressures who need a message of assurance. Smyrna represents a small church that stays faithful to God despite difficult times.

Revelation 2:1–3:22

The seven messages to the seven churches show the condition of Christ's church when Revelation was written, and it is similar today. God still calls Christians to be faithful and honest. Those who listen to Christ's message will receive God's promised rewards. Those who do not will face judgment.
