Revelation 3:21: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

John's letter to the Laodicean saints ends much like his first six letters.¹ However, this final letter contains the culmination of promises² made in all seven letters to saints that overcome.³ In this verse, overcomers are told that they will sit on Christ's throne⁴ and be like him.⁵ They will become like Christ even as he overcame⁶ and became like the Father.⁷ This includes the promise that overcomers will sit on Christ's throne⁸ as Christ sits on his Father's throne.⁹ Christ will be King of the kings that overcome and share his throne.¹⁰ This imagery depicts how exalted saints inherit all that the Father has,¹¹ and how they become one with both the Father and the Son.¹²

Revelation 3:21 also expresses the ultimate doctrine that "as God now is, man may become."¹³ This is the Doctrine of Exaltation¹⁴ by which husbands, wives, and families¹⁵ enter God's presence¹⁶ after they overcome Satan¹⁷ and endure to the end.¹⁸ The family of overcomers literally become like God.¹⁹ They shall have eternal life²⁰ and inherit all that God has.²¹

Revelation 3:22: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Christ commands members from the seven Asian churches to heed his words,²² but the command applies with equal force to latter-day church members with the same spiritual infirmities.²³ The promise of eternal life²⁴ extends hope to the most spiritually low and lukewarm saints, including those ready to be spued out of Christ's mouth.²⁵ People can always repent and open the door of their heart to Christ.²⁶ In this way they can be purified and become as God is.²⁷

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard ... said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit.
