Ver. 11. Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no Man take thy Crown. We not knowing how soon our Saviour may come, ought to be watchful, careful and diligent, and hold fast Faith and a good Conscience, that so we may hold out to the end, that none may deprive us of our Crown.
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.
To be a Pillar in God's Temple is an high Honour, it is a fixed Place; no danger of being removed, if once set there: and God will write his Name upon it, and own it for his own, and engrave the Name of the City Jerusalem which is above, as a Token that they are Denizens and Inhabitants ⟨p. 96⟩of the New Jerusalem, and then the Lord will write upon him a new Name. The Lord knows them that are his, he distinguisheth them from the rest of the World: Happy are those that be in such a Case: Blessed are those whom God hath chosen to be a Pillar in his Temple.
