Revelation 2:15-17 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."
The Nicolaitans was a doctrine of compromise. Jesus praised the church of Ephesus because they rejected the deeds of the Nicolaitans. In the church of Pergamum it had become a doctrine of the the church to compromise. And Pergamum allowed the doctrine of the Nicolaitans to become a part of the church. Jesus hates compromise. Jesus says, "Repent, or I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth, which is the word of God.
Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give hidden manna to eat." God fed Israel angel food while they were in the wilderness on their way to the promise land. Phil. 4:19
"But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
In ancient times when a man had been tried for a crime, and given a white stone, it meant they were found not guilty. If a black stone was given it meant they were found guilty.
Jesus will forgive anyone who calls upon Him for forgiveness and salvation. He will give them a white stone, they will not be found guilty before God. Our sins are completely forgiven and we will stand before Jesus guiltless. Jesus died for our sins and gave us His righteousness. He will give us a new name that only we will understand.
