Revelation 3:5-12
Excerpted from: The Eternal Privileges of the Bride

The saint (he who overcomes) is considered a pillar or column in the Temple. The name of God will be conspicuously recorded on him to show that he belongs to God. It is like a large government building in a sense, and on its columns are recorded the names of people who are distinguished and privileged. It is a public testimonial to the respect of those whose names are recorded there.

The honor given to him, that is, he who overcomes, is as great as if the name of the God He serves and whose favor and friendship He enjoys were inscribed on him in some visible way. He who overcomes is known and recognized as belonging to God; the God of the Redeemer Himself, and it is indicated by the phrase the name of My God.

The name of the city of My God signifies that the Christian belongs to that city or that the New Jerusalem is his home, and wherever he goes and wherever he lives, he will be recognized as belonging to the holy city, as enjoying the rights and privileges of a citizen of New Jerusalem. This is a tremendous blessing to all who are Christians, to all who are members of His Body, the bride of Christ. The Son of God gives us a new name, His own Family name!

So the day is coming when at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of the things in heaven and of things on earth and things under the earth, and that is the name that is given to those who constitute the bride of Christ.

Revelation 3:10-11
Excerpted from: A Place of Safety? (Part 5)

In Revelation 3:10, Jesus is speaking of the congregation there—of and to, the congregation in Philadelphia.

Whoever these people are—this Philadelphia group—they are promised protection from the hour of trial that is to try the whole world. The hour of trial that is to try the whole world is the same as the tribulation, which is going to last, combined with the day of the Lord, three and one-half years. It runs at the same time as all those other events that we gave you a little bit earlier. So the Philadelphia group is promised protection from the hour of trial that is to try the whole world.

Revelation 3:10-11
Excerpted from: Revelation 10 and the Laodicean Church

Ahh! Are there going to be some of the Philadelphia church around at His return? If that is not true, then why would He say about the hour of temptation or trial that would come upon the whole earth—not some little piddling tribulation that is taking place in some little corner of Asia Minor, but something—an event—that takes place all over the world. That hasn't happened yet. But the indication in the message to Philadelphia is that there are going to be elements of the Philadelphia church around when that hour of temptation is going on.
