Rev 2:26 'He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;
Rev 2:27 AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;
Rev 2:28 and I will give him the morning star.
First thing that comes to my mind concerning this verse is that the "morning star" is given to all who overcomes. At one time according to scripture, Satan, when he was called Lucifer, had the morning star as well.
Is 14:12 "How you have fallen from heaven,
O star of the morning, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth,
You who have weakened the nations!
And Jesus our LORD is the bright and morning star, so exactly what is the star of the morning. Let us define what the morning star is. The morning star is not the sun instead it is a star that can still be seen even when the sun has risen. I am reminded of the wise men who proclaimed they had seen His (Jesus) star in the east and have come to worship HIM.
