...but to you- the rest of you in Thyatira- all who do not hold this (false) doctrine and are the people who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say- to you I say that I cast no other trouble on you
(Revelation 2:24).

Only that which you already possess- cling to until I come
(Revelation 2:25).

He who overcomes (the Overcomer), and he who keeps My works to the end- to him will I give authority over the nations
(Revelation 2:26)

...and he (the Overcomer serving under the Lord) shall rule those nations with an iron shepherd's staff- (they will be) much like clay bowls when broken to pieces. And the Overcomer's authority over them shall be much like what I Myself have received from My father
(Revelation 2:27)

...and I will give him (the Overcomer) the morning star
(Revelation 2:28).

He who has a (spiritual) ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit says to the churches
(Revelation 2:29).

Are there any Bible scriptures that might help us understand these verses here in Revelation? In my opinion I think so-


Revelation 2:24
...but to you- the rest of you in Thyatira- all who do not hold this (false) doctrine and are the people who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say- to you I say that I cast no other trouble on you.

(False) Doctrine

God appears to strongly emphasize these lengthy teachings as He places them in more than one scroll of Revelation. Therefore, I have added multiple links to them for convenience sake:

The (Spiritual) Depths of Satan

It appears the (spiritual) depths of Satan can mean different things to different people. For example, it can mean one's love, worship, and service for Satan and his will, the various depths of sin one chooses to sink into, and willful demon possession. In the context of these scriptures here in Revelation it may include idol worship, false teachers, the teaching of false doctrine, sexual immorality, persecution of God's Overcomers, and the eating of meat offered to Satan via idols.

Are there other scrolls in the bible that appear to reveal this? Yes.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
(Matthew 6:22-23).

For the anger of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator- who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful- they invent ways of doing evil- they disobey their parents- they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
(Romans 1:18-32).


Revelation 2:25
But hold fast what you have till I come.

To Him (God's Overcomer) I Will Give Authority Over the Nations

What will be one reward of each Overcomer?
The princess bride, waits within her chamber, dressed in a gown woven with gold. In her beautiful robes, she is led to the King, accompanied by her bridesmaids. What a joyful, enthusiastic procession as they enter the King's palace! Your sons will become kings like their father. You will make them rulers over many lands
(Psalm 45:13-16).

But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever
(Daniel 7:18).

So Jesus said to them- Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel
(Matthew 19:28).

...you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me- that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones governing the twelve tribes of Israel
(Luke 22:28-30).


Revelation 2:27
And He (Christ) shall be their shepherd, ruling the nations with a rod of iron- and smash them like clay pots- just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces. They will have the same authority I received from My Father.


Christ Will Rule the World in His Second Coming

The revelation that Christ will rule the nations of the world is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number One-
...from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth...
(Revelation 1:5).

It is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Nine-
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron...
(Revelation 12:5).

It is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Ten-
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested
(Revelation 15:4).

And it is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Eleven-
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron...
(Revelation 19:15).

So, what are some possible select biblical scriptures for the above verses in Revelation?

...A Star shall come out of Jacob- a Scepter shall rise out of Israel...
(Numbers 24:17).

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron- You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel
(Psalm 2:8-9).

I will also appoint Him My Firstborn- the highest of the kings of the earth (Psalm 89:27).

May the nations praise You, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise You. How glad the nations will be, singing for joy, because You govern them with justice...then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us. Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear Him
(Psalm 67:3-7).

...where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him
(Matthew 2:2).

But to the Son He says- Your throne, O God, is forever and ever- a scepter of righteousness is the rod of Your Kingdom
(Hebrews 1:8).


Revelation 2:28
I will give him (the Overcomer) the Morning Star.


Christ is the Bright and Morning Star

The morning star is symbolic for Christ returning before the dawn. Also, some folks spiritually see here the rapture of the church before the establishment of His Kingdom.

God reveals the Bright and Morning Star in Revelation:

It is revealed here in Revelation Scroll Number Five-
I will give him (the Overcomer) the Morning Star
(Revelation 2:28).

and it is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Twelve-
I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I AM the Root and the Offspring of David- the Bright and Morning Star
(Revelation 22:16).

Are there other scrolls in the bible that appears to reveal this? I think so-
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
(Job 38:4-7).

Let me add this- Jesus is the greatest treasure in the universe. Therefore, Jesus will bless each of His Overcomers with Himself. It could be that His Overcomer will reflect His perfect brightness- he shall shine like Christ, the morning star, and share His kingly glory that a star is the symbol of. Nearly the same message was given to the Overcomers in the church in Pergamos. Christ promised the Overcomers there that they could eat the hidden manna that was Christ Himself-
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, that you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts
(2 Peter 1:19).

Starlight and Sunlight
Let me take this occasion to add a few more scriptures that could be relevant. A regular star gives literal light. The Morning Star (Jesus) gives spiritual light. Jesus said-
I AM the Light of the World- he who follows Me shall not walk in (spiritual) darkness, but shall have the light of (eternal) life
(John 8:12).

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father...
(Matthew 13:43).

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel basket, but on a candlestick- and it gives light to all those in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father that is in Heaven
(Matthew 5:14-16).


Revelation 2:29
Let all who have (spiritual) ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.
