Revelation 3:12 Revelation 3:12 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. Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God. There were two pillars in the temple at Jerusalem, 1 Kings 7:15. One, Solomon called Jachin, that is, he shall establish; the other he called Boaz, that is, with strength, 1 Kings 7:21. The pillars in God’ s gospel temple, are Christ’ s able ministers of the New Testament, Galatians 2:9. Peter, and James and John, who seemed to be pillars: I will; make him a pillar; that is Christ will establish him. and strengthen him, so that he shall be able to strengthen others who are weak, and help to support and strengthen them. Another use of pillars; is to bear forth the edicts and laws of kings, and their renowned acts engraven upon them; such was Absalom’ s pillar, 2 Samuel 18:18 so the Church of the living God, is called the pillar and ground of truth, 1 Timothy 3:15. And he shall go no more out, that is, he shall have a name in the house of God, and dwell there, and abide there. And I will write upon him the name of my God. By the name of God, here we may understand his communicable attributes of truth, faithfulness, mercy, and holiness, which Christ writes upon those pillars in God’ s house; not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, 2 Corinthians 3:3 in the fleshly tables of their hearts. And the name of the city of my God. This city is the new Jerusalem, mentioned Revelation 21:1-2. and is the Church of the first-born, written in heaven, Hebrews 12:22-24. And I will write upon him my new name, that is, the Son of God, Revelation 21:7 and he shall be my Son. So then, He that overcometh shall be made a fellow-citizen with the saints, and of the household of God, Ephesians 2:19.
