.Rv 2:28

and I will give to him the morning star.^[a]

———

^a Gk. τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν. Beale: ἀνατελεῖ ἄστρον (a star will arise) from Numbers 24 probably inspired τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν (the morning star) in Rev. 2:28, since ἀνατολή can mean sunrise or dawn. Therefore, the morning star is a symbol associated with the messianic reign; similarly, the star in Num. 24:17 is interpreted as a metaphor for king by the Targums, probably because it is in synonymous parallelism with scepter. The application here of this emblem to believers indicates that they will participate in this reign if they overcome. This idea is enhanced from the fact the the morning star (Veus) was a symbol of sovereignty in the ancient world and especially in Rome. Roman emperors claimed to be descended from the goddess Venus, Roman generals built temples dedicated to the star, and it was a sign carried on the standards of the Roman legions. If this is also part of the thought, then the allusion to Numbers has been called forth in order to emphasize that Christ is the true world sovereign in contrast to the claims of evil world empires like Rome. See also Rv. 22:16: I, Jesus, ...am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.
