Jesus then says that if they do not repent, He will choose to now come quickly. This has overtones to His Second Coming. It also is a firm promise that He will come in their now and personally invade their time and space in judgment giving them the opportunity to learn why they should repent.
Yahweh can go to war and with just a word bring about judgment and death. This may come through many agencies: angels, governments, bad people, etc., but it comes from the word of truth which He spoke that set everything into motion such that His will is done in earth as it is in heaven.
When God leads us through extended times where we may only have the basics, He is testing our hearts to see if we will choose to live in the humility of grace or whether we will succumb to the lusts of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and take, or demand, what we NOW want!
With the white stone, Jesus is addressing that deep need within our being to be special, to be the one, to be unique, honored, and chosen before others. And with the new name, He communicates that We are Special, Chosen, Wanted, Loved, and Adored by Jesus. He has given each of us our very own new name which is shared exclusively with Him—a name that is established upon His righteousness and not our own!
