"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 3:12-13)
Those who do overcome this adversity will have God's name written upon them. "I will write on him" the name of God, says Jesus. All will then see that they belong to Jesus, they are citizens of the New Jerusalem and they have a special relationship to Jesus.
In the cities of Asia Minor, and in Philadelphia, when a priest died after a lifetime of faithfulness, the community honored him, by erecting a new pillar in the temple in which he had served and by inscribing "his name" and the name of his father upon it. This then would describe the lasting honor which Christ pays to his faithful ones.
