Wesley: Rev 21:7 - He that overcometh

Which is more than, "he that thirsteth." Shall inherit these things - Which I have made new. I will be his God, and he shall be my son - Both in the Hebrew and Greek language, in which the scriptures were written, what we translate shall and will are one and the same word. The only difference consists in an English translation, or in the want of knowledge in him that interprets what he does not understand.

JFB: Rev 21:7 - He that overcometh

Another aspect of the believer's life: a conflict with sin, Satan, and the world is needed. Thirsting for salvation is the first beginning of, and continues for ever (in the sense of an appetite and relish for divine joys) a characteristic of the believer. In a different sense, the believer "shall never thirst."

JFB: Rev 21:7 - inherit all things

A, B, Vulgate, and CYPRIAN read, "these things," namely, the blessings described in this whole passage. With "all things," compare 1Co 3:21-23.

JFB: Rev 21:7 - I will be his God

Greek, "I will be to him a God," that is, all that is implied of blessing in the name "God."

JFB: Rev 21:7 - he shall be my son

"He" is emphatic: He in particular and in a peculiar sense, above others: Greek, "shall be to me a son," in fullest realization of the promise made in type to Solomon, son of David, and antitypically to the divine Son of David.

Clarke: Rev 21:7 - Inherit all things

Inherit all things - Here he had no inheritance; there he shall inherit the kingdom of heaven, and be with God and Christ, and have every possible degree of blessedness.

Defender: Rev 21:7 - He that overcometh

Seven wonderful promises were made to "him that overcometh" in the letters to the seven churches (Rev 2:7, Rev 2:11, Rev 2:17, Rev 2:26; Rev 3:5, Rev 3:12, Rev 3:21), and these are all summed up here. We shall share in the very inheritance of Christ Himself (Psa 2:8; Rom 8:17; 1Co 3:21-23; Heb 1:2; 1Pe 1:4, 1Pe 1:5;). As sons of God, adopted by God's grace (Rom 8:15), we share in the infinite inheritance of the one who is Son of God from eternity."

Poole: Rev 21:7 - He that overcometh, shall inherit all things // I will be his God, and he shall be my son

He that overcometh, shall inherit all things: God revealed this to John almost sixteen hundred years since; and how long it shall be before this glorious time shall come, God alone knows: the most of this time hath been, and will be, a time of fighting with the world, the flesh, and the devil; but whoever he be that shall fight this good fight, and come out of it a conqueror, shall inherit all the joys and happiness of heaven.

I will be his God, and he shall be my son: I will be to him all in all; I will be his God to love and glorify him, and he shall be with me as my son, to live with me for ever and ever.

PBC: Rev 21:7

Again we are shown that this refers to an earthly kingdom. If Jesus overcame all things and finished the work of salvation, there remains nothing else to be performed for Heaven and immortal glory. This same one who is receiving the revelation from Jesus Christ gives us the answer to the problem presented in this verse. " Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" {1Jo 5:5} The word believeth in the Greek is pisteuo, meaning to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing). Considering that faith is a fruit of the Spirit, {Ga 5:22} this overcoming is not a condition to be met. It is met in one who is already a believer. Only those who are spiritually alive have faith. We cannot leave this passage without quoting from the writer of Hebrews: " Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief." {Heb 4:6} For two other passages concerning this statement, please read Ro 11:20 and Heb 3:19.— Eld. Charles Taylor

Gill: Rev 21:7 - He that overcometh // shall inherit all things // and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son

He that overcometh,.... All spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, the antichristian beast, his image, mark, and number of his name; who is more than a conqueror through Christ; one that perseveres to the end, notwithstanding all temptations, trials, and difficulties; See Gill on Rev 2:7,

shall inherit all things; the kingdom of Christ in the new Jerusalem state, and all things in it; heaven, eternal glory and happiness, and everlasting salvation; yea, God himself, who is the portion, and exceeding great reward of his people, and will be all in all. The Alexandrian copy, and the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, read, "these things": the new heaven, and new earth, the presence of God with men, freedom from all evils, and divine refreshments from the fountain of living water before mentioned:

and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son; Christ is not only concerned in predestination to the adoption of children, in making way by redemption for the enjoyment of this blessing, and in the actual donation of it; but he himself, who is the mighty God, is the everlasting Father, and his people are his spiritual seed and offspring, and in his kingdom he will see his seed, and prolong his days; he will long enjoy them, and present them to himself, and afterwards to his Father, saying as in Heb 2:13 and though they are now, in the present state of things, the sons of God, yet it does not appear so manifest that they are, or at least what they shall be; but in this new and glorious state of things, it will be abundantly manifest that they are the sons of God and seed of Christ; and it will be known how glorious they are, and shall be, when they shall see Christ in his glory, and be like him; who will now be πατηρ του μελλοντος αιωνος, "the Father of the world to come", as the Septuagint render the phrase in Isa 9:6.
