19 I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. ~ Revelation 2:19
10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. ~ Revelation 3:10
The Church in Thyatira had love, faith, and patient endurance, but He did not say He would keep them from the Great Trial. Do you know why? Because the time had not yet come for the Great Tribulation. But the Church in Philadelphia, if not for their patient endurance, they would be the ones going through the Great Tribulation.
But what I want you to focus on is what Jesus said at the end of the sentence. The hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. It’s not just the Church but the whole world. So, those who are helping bring this to come to pass, you will be right there sharing in the suffering that is coming. You will not escape. The elites, those running the show behind the curtain, don’t care about you. You’re just pawns to them.
Not only will you share in the suffering of the Great Tribulation, but something much worse is stored up for all those who do not accept Jesus as LORD and Savior. It’s called the Wrath of God. But the LORD promises that if you put your faith and trust in Him and you follow Him, He will come back for you. He’ll deliver you from the from the Wrath that is to come.
Dear LORD, please forgive me for my part in ushering in the coming Tribulation. Forgive me for being lukewarm. Forgive me for hiding the Light that is within me. Teach me to follow You. Teach me to let my Light shine before others. Prepare me for whatever might come my way. Strengthen me that I might be found doing what it is that You have called me to do so that I might escape Your coming Wrath. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
