The Greek word for "overcomes" is "nikao," which means to conquer or gain victory. In the context of Revelation, it refers to those who remain faithful to Christ despite trials, temptations, and persecution. Historically, the early Christians faced immense pressure from Roman authorities and society to renounce their faith. This promise of overcoming is a call to perseverance, encouraging believers to hold fast to their faith in Jesus Christ, who has already overcome the world (<a href="/john/16-33.htm">John 16:33</a>).will inherit all things The concept of inheritance is deeply rooted in biblical tradition, often associated with the promises given to Abraham and his descendants (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>). In the New Testament, inheritance is expanded to include all believers as co-heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>). The Greek word "kleronomeo" means to receive an inheritance, emphasizing the certainty and fullness of the blessings promised to God's children. This inheritance includes eternal life, the new heaven and new earth, and the fullness of God's kingdom. It is a reminder of the eternal rewards awaiting those who remain faithful.and I will be his God This phrase echoes the covenant language found throughout the Old Testament, where God repeatedly promises to be the God of His people (<a href="/exodus/6-7.htm">Exodus 6:7</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>). It signifies a personal and intimate relationship between God and the believer. In the historical context of Revelation, where Christians were often marginalized and persecuted, this assurance of God's presence and sovereignty would have been a profound source of comfort and hope. It underscores the faithfulness of God to His promises and His unchanging nature.and he will be My son The concept of sonship is a powerful theme in Scripture, denoting a special relationship with God. In the New Testament, believers are described as children of God through faith in Christ (<a href="/john/1-12.htm">John 1:12</a>, <a href="/galatians/3-26.htm">Galatians 3:26</a>). The Greek word "huios" for "son" implies not just a child by birth but one who shares in the character and privileges of the family. This phrase highlights the transformation and adoption of believers into God's family, granting them the rights and privileges of sonship, including access to the Father and a share in His eternal kingdom. It is a profound affirmation of identity and belonging for every believer.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/revelation/21.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things . . .--Rather, He that conquereth shall inherit these things; and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me a son.

Again we catch, as it were, the echo of the promises to the Seven Churches, the blessing is for him that conquereth. The idea of the war and the conquest is a favourite one with St. John.

The source and weapon of victory have been before stated: the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony (<a href="/revelation/12-11.htm" title="And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.">Revelation 12:11</a>), and the victory of faith (<a href="/1_john/5-4.htm" title="For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.">1John 5:4</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - He that overcometh shall inherit all things. The correct reading makes the sense plain: He that overcometh shall inherit these things, i.e. the promises just enumerated. These words show the reason for the words of ver. 6; and may be called the text on which the Apocalypse is based (cf. <a href="/revelation/2.htm">Revelation 2</a>.); for, though the words themselves do not often recur, yet the spirit of them is constantly appearing (cf. <a href="/revelation/12-11.htm">Revelation 12:11</a>; see also <a href="/john/16-33.htm">John 16:33</a>). And I will be his God, and he shall be my son (cf. <a href="/leviticus/26-12.htm">Leviticus 26:12</a>, "And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people"). Some have thought that these words prove the Speaker to be God the Father; but it is impossible to separate the Persons of the Blessed Trinity in these chapters. This promise, first made to David concerning Solomon (<a href="/2_samuel/7-14.htm">2 Samuel 7:14</a>), received its mystical fulfilment in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/1-5.htm">Hebrews 1:5</a>), and is now fulfilled in the members of Christ (Alford). <a href="/commentaries/revelation/21-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>The [one who] ὁ (ho) Article - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
