Revelation 3:12, Question about the new name

Post by Christian2 »

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Rev 2:17.

According to Rev 2:17, we will be given a new name; only God knows what it is.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him] my new name. Rev 3:12.

What does "my new name" refer to in Rev. 3:12 -- the believer's new name or Jesus' new name?

Thanks.

Hi C2,

1.)The name of God the Father v. 12.

2.)The name of the new Jerusalem, the capital city of God. v. 21: 2

3.)The new name of Christ v.12.

The white stones were known as victory stones and meant pardon and the evidence of it.
Dake wrote: Conquerors in the public games were given white stones with their names in them, which entitled them to be supported the rest of their lives at public expense.
I am the wretch the song refers to.
