Not Rev. 3:10, But 4:1. Compare with 1 Cor. 15:51-58. These Epistles are written to the Church...not to the world of men. Christ is not saving the world at this time, He is calling out His Church (Jew and Gentile, the one new man) to rule with Him when He comes upon the earth to rule. Rev. 4:1...….Not Rev. 3:10. Rev. 3:10 is a promise to keep the Church from the Time of testing upon the earth. (Everything written in the Epistles from Acts to Revelations chapter 4 is to and about the purpose of the Church...not Israel or the Gentile. The time of Israel's testing is Revelations Chapters 5 and on. That is when most people will be saved....more than you can count. Rev. 7:9-10.
No revelation 3:10 isn’t a promise to keep the church from the tribulation but to keep them from the wrath of God.
The whole concept of the church not being in the tribulation because they aren’t mentioned again after revelation 4 is false as well. It would make no sense to tell the church all that is coming upon the earth if we aren’t going to be here to experience it. Why would the church need to endure or persevere like Jesus tells us in the letters to the churches? What could we have to persevere in? O that’s right...the things to come. There will be some Christians alive at the time of the rapture, they are the ones who need to persevere and endure to get to the rapture.
And the rapture I’m talking about is not pre trib, it’s pre wrath. We Christians will be here for the tribulation and we will go through the things that the rest of the world does but it’s because God is leaving us for our testimony of Him.
Mark 13:9-11, 13
But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.
You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
Then there will also be martyrs in the tribulation..
Revelation 6:9-11
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.
Some people believe the left behind guy when he says that the Christians in the tribulation are people who will become Christians after the real Christians are raptured but that never made any sense to me.
First of all whose gonna want to be a Christian after the rapture and why would God leave baby Christians here to testify about Him and not us more mature Christians who’ve been Christians for years and years? And is that what God does? Saves people from experiencing hard times? No, you experience hard times but you do it with God and that tribulation will be the same thing.
Also we are going to be here at least to the midway point because the anti christ will be revealed in the middle of the tribulation at the abomination of desolation..
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
