These verses are talking about the rewards we will receive as believers. Rev. 3:21 is making the point that we will spend eternity where God himself dwells. Rev.21:7 is clearly in agreement with other portions of scripture that teach those of us who remain faithful will be joint heirs with Jesus , meaning we will not only inherit eternal life , but great rewards and responsibilities in heaven. :)

The same thing that Philipians 2:12 and James 2:14 say, salvation isn't guaranteed to anyone for just believing. It also affirms the relationship of the Godhead and how God can relate to us.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Geez, do YOU really need an interpretation??? It's vert straight forward and needs NO Interpretation.
And its the The revelation of "Jesus Christ" NOT The Revelation of John the Divine!
Revelation 1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

It means that God promised greater things than what this world has to threaten us with. We have to remain in the trust of Him in order to make it.

Not sure what my Church would say but to me it is saying that the Lord wants to bless us with what He has blessed the Christ with. He wants to share His glory!

I think it is refering to overcoming the trials of the world. It could also refer to overcoming the Devil.
