5. What is featured in the first vision of Revelation, and how does it involve us?

□ 1ST VISION 1:10–3:22

Na·osʹ may also have a limited sense, for Jesus Christ addressed the first-century congregation in Philadelphia, Asia Minor, and said: “As for the one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple [na·osʹ] of my God; he will be secure, and will go out no more; and I will write my God’s Name on him, and he will be a citizen in the city of my God​—the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven from my God; and he will have my new Name inscribed upon him.”​—Rev. 3:12, The Living Bible.

(b) According to Revelation 3:12, may na·osʹ have a limited meaning?

In Revelation 3:12, Jesus Christ mentions whom four times, and to indicate what relationship of this one to himself?
