The Church in Smyrna: Revelation 2:8
The church in Smyrna was made up of poor people who had endured many hardships. Jesus, the First and the Last, who defeated death, knows their tribulation, poverty, and the slander from the Jews that they have endured. Jesus tells them that he hears them, and yet they continue suffering. Not only does he call the church to not be afraid, he calls them to be faithful by treasuring him above all else, even to the point of death. He promises that the sufferings we experience right now, no matter how heavy they are, will one day seem light and momentary compared to the glory that he holds in store for his people. He suffered to end our suffering. He suffered so that no matter how much we have suffered at death, it is over. We will have an eternity with him.

Poverty and Riches
Proverbs 30:7-9 is a prayer for contentment for neither poverty or riches, but just enough to meet daily needs. There is a danger in being rich (forgetting God and becoming arrogant) and a danger in being poor (stealing to meet your needs). The Bible says a lot about poverty; we need to care for those who are poor and learn from them (they tend to be humble) The Bible also has a lot to say about the rich. Christ followers who are rich need to be humble and hope in God and enjoy their money with thankfulness (1 Timothy 6:17-19).
