PROMISE FOR JUNE 21st

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Revelation 2:17

That White Stone signifies a precious token of the Lord's love, and the new name written in the stone suggests the Bridegroom's name. The statement indicates a special acquaintance with the great King of kings, secret between himself and the individual. The overcomers are not to be recognized merely as a class--the Bride class--but each will have the personal favor of the Lord. Of this no one will know save himself and the King. There is an individual and personal friendship between the Lord and the overcomers, who may be said to receive the mark of identification--the antitypical white stone--now, in this life. This mark is the sealing of the Holy Spirit by which the Lord identifies the overcomers.... The full seal of the Holy Spirit will be given in the Resurrection.... Then we shall have complete knowledge of the name by which we shall be known to the Lord and he to us forever. R. 5113, middle.
