And I will give
This phrase signifies a promise from Jesus to the faithful. The Greek word for "give" is "didōmi," which implies a gift or a grant. In the context of Revelation, this is not merely a physical gift but a spiritual endowment. The act of giving here is a divine assurance of reward for those who overcome and remain steadfast in their faith. It reflects the grace and generosity of Christ, who bestows blessings upon His followers.

him
The pronoun "him" refers to the individual believer who overcomes, as mentioned earlier in the chapter. This personal pronoun emphasizes the intimate and personal relationship between Christ and each believer. It underscores the idea that the promises of God are not just for the collective church but for each individual who remains faithful.

the morning star
The "morning star" is a rich and multifaceted symbol in biblical literature. In Greek, the term is "phosphoros," which means "light-bringer" or "dawn-bringer." Historically, the morning star is associated with the planet Venus, which appears in the sky just before dawn, heralding the coming of a new day. In the context of Revelation, the morning star symbolizes hope, renewal, and the promise of a new beginning. Scripturally, Jesus Himself is referred to as the "bright morning star" in Revelation 22:16, indicating His role as the harbinger of a new era and the ultimate source of light and truth. This promise of the morning star to the believer signifies sharing in Christ's victory and glory, a profound assurance of eternal life and the dawn of a new creation.

(28) The morning star.--The pledge of the coming day, both for the waiting witnesses, and for the ungodly, who loved darkness because their deeds were evil: the earnest of the sovereignty of light over darkness, when the children of the day would be manifest, and shine as the stars for ever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

Verse 28. - I will give him the morning star. In Revelation 22:16 Christ himself is "the Bright and Morning Star." Therefore here he promises to give himself to him that overcometh. The morning star has ever been proverbial for brightness and beauty, and, as the harbinger of the day, is the bringer of light, life, and joy. Moreover, a star is often a sign of royalty: "There shall come a star out of Jacob, and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel" (Numbers 24:17); and as such it appeared to the Wise Men (Matthew 2:2).
