About the Church of Philadelphia

Small in power - But faithful to Christ

Given an open door for ministry

Persecuted, but soon to be Vindicated

The Synagogue of Satan

They will soon fall at your feet in Worship - they will come to salvation

Through the working of Jesus - as they see you are loved by God

Those who keep my word will be kept from tribulation

The tribulation that is coming upon the whole world -

What Are We Waiting For? A Commentary on Revelation (Revelation 3:11–13)

The overcomer will also be inscribed with three names: the name of God indicates divine ownership; the name of God’s city, the New Jerusalem, speaks of citizenship in the heavenly commonwealth; and Christ’s new name suggests the full revelation of his character at the Second Coming. While present problems test the patience of believers, the future is bright and the rewards of faithfulness beyond compare.
