Revelation 2:26

24 But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you.

25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.

And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations.

27 He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father.

28 And I will give him the morning star.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
