Revelation 2:23

Verse 23 of 29. The 2nd of 22 chapters in Revelation.

19I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

25But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

(2.) That his feet are like fine brass, that the outgoings of his providence are steady, awful, and…
