Revelation 3:9-10

Good morning everyone! Another great day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!! We try to stand tall and be strong, yet we forget who is tallest and strongest and can get us through this whole situation. GOD!!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Revelation 3:9-10 " Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie-indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."

Wow! A mouthful. Synagogue of Satan - Satan marshals his old attacks. he injects legalism; it is the Judaizing system in its opposition to the truth of grace. This Judaizing is not true Old Testament theology.

Christ's description of a future event that for a short time severely tests the whole world must refer to the time of tribulation, the seven year period before Christ's earthly kingdom is consummated, featuring the unleashing of divine wrath in judgments expressed as seals, trumpets, and bowls. This period is described in detail throughout chapters 6-19.

The latter half of this time period is called "the Great Tribulation" (7:14; Matt 24:21). The verb "to keep" is followed by a presposition whose normal meaning is "from" or "out of" - this phrase, "keep.....from: support the pre-tribulational rapture of the church.

I hope this is meaningful and you are able to understnd it. If not please send me feedback. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
