The words “he that overcometh” in Revelation 23 should rather be “the overcoming one”; that is, the person is participating in it, meaning that the action of overcoming is already their part, whereas “he that overcometh,” as a tense, might postpone the connection of the action with the person until the whole action of overcoming was perfected. This is very important to remember in the addresses to the seven churches and everywhere in John’s writings.
