[Early church] in Smyrna [Christ speaking as:] "he who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life" [acknowledgement] "I know your afflictions and your poverty - yet you are rich - and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." [rebuke] "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. "
"Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who conquers shall not be hurt by the second death.'"
