Contextual Overview

¹ All of a sudden there was a new heaven and a new earth. The old ones were gone along with the sea. ²The new city of Jerusalem came down from heaven dressed like a bride ready to get hitched. ³A loud voice from the throne said, "God has unsaddled his horse and made his home among his cowboys. He will live with them and they with him. He will be their God and they will be his hands. ⁴He will take his neckerchief and wipe away every tear. There will be no more death, crying, or pain. Those things have disappeared." ⁵Then God spoke from the throne and said, "I am making all things new again." He then spoke directly to me and said, "Jot this down, cowboy. My word can be trusted." ⁶Then he said, "It's all done. I am the first and the last. I am the point rider and the drag. To anyone who is thirsty, I will give them drink from the windmill of life without charge. ⁷Those who make it down the hard, narrow trail will get me as their God and I will love them like my own children. ⁸But those who are lily-livered, double-crossers, perverts, killers, without morals, practicers of witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars will end up in the lake of fire. This will be their second death."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He that overcometh,.... All spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, the antichristian beast, his image, mark, and number of his name; who is more than a conqueror through Christ; one that perseveres to the end, notwithstanding all temptations, trials, and difficulties;

:-,

shall inherit all things; the kingdom of Christ in the new Jerusalem state, and all things in it; heaven, eternal glory and happiness, and everlasting salvation; yea, God himself, who is the portion, and exceeding great reward of his people, and will be all in all. The Alexandrian copy, and the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, read, "these things": the new heaven, and new earth, the presence of God with men, freedom from all evils, and divine refreshments from the fountain of living water before mentioned:

and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son; Christ is not only concerned in predestination to the adoption of children, in making way by redemption for the enjoyment of this blessing, and in the actual donation of it; but he himself, who is the mighty God, is the everlasting Father, and his people are his spiritual seed and offspring, and in his kingdom he will see his seed, and prolong his days; he will long enjoy them, and present them to himself, and afterwards to his Father, saying as in Hebrews 2:13 and though they are now, in the present state of things, the sons of God, yet it does not appear so manifest that they are, or at least what they shall be; but in this new and glorious state of things, it will be abundantly manifest that they are the sons of God and seed of Christ; and it will be known how glorious they are, and shall be, when they shall see Christ in his glory, and be like him; who will now be πατηρ του

μελλοντος αιωνος, "the Father of the world to come", as the Septuagint render the phrase in Isaiah 9:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He that overcometh - See the notes on Revelation 2:7.

Shall inherit all things - Be an heir of God in all things. See the notes on Romans 8:17. Compare Revelation 2:7, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 2:26; Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:12, Revelation 3:21.

And I will be his God - That is, forever. He would be to them all that is properly implied in the name of God; he would bestow upon them all the blessings which it was appropriate for God to bestow. See the 2 Corinthians 6:18 note; Hebrews 8:10 note.

And he shall be my son - He shall sustain to me the relation of a son, and shall be treated as such. He would ever onward sustain this relation, and be honored as a child of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Revelation 21:7. Inherit all things — Here he had no inheritance; there he shall inherit the kingdom of heaven, and be with God and Christ, and have every possible degree of blessedness.
