The word over comer is translated, To carry off the victory, to come off victorious. It is used of Christ, the victorious one who overcame all his foes. It is also used of Christians who hold fast their faith, even unto death against the power of their foes, and temptations, and persecutions.
In Revelations chapter fifteen we see those who overcame also, I believe that we can learn from those over comers how to overcome in the end times. In Revelations chapter fifteen, it says, They over came the beast, they over came his image, they over came his mark, they over came the number of his name. Do you see why they are called over comers. How did they over come these things?
I have heard people say that when they get to heaven they will sing in the heavenly choir, to sing in that choir, they first must be an over comer, they must over come the beast, his image, his mark, and the number of his name, then they will sing in that heavenly choir as it states in Revelation chapter fifteen.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
Revelation 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
