"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."(Revelation 3:11-13)
We come to the promises of the Risen Christ to those who are faithful. The faithful Christian will be "a pillar in the Temple of God." A Jerusalem Temple pillar is a great and honored support. Peter and James and John were known as "the pillars" of the early church in Jerusalem. 1"Abraham," said the Jewish Rabbis, "was the pillar of the world."
He who is faithful will in the end come to a time when he is like "a pillar fixed in the Temple of God," a Jerusalem Temple pillar, and goodness has become the constant atmosphere of his life. This phrase, a Jerusalem Temple pillar, describes the life of untroubled goodness which is lived when, after the battles of earth, we reach the presence of God.
