·
10 days represents a time of trial.
· There are over 120 examples in scriptures that a day is equal to one
year, so this group of people were going to be attacked for some time. Numbers
14:34, Ezekiel 4:6, Genesis 29:27. Christians are always persecuted for not
trusting in the world.
· Our peace, even in trials is that Jesus will never allow His chosen
ones to be tempted above that which they
can take.
· For no temptation (no trial regarded as
enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and
laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human
resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human
experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and
to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted
and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of
resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of
escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and
powerful to bear up under it patiently. 1 Corinthians 10:13
· So Jesus will keep those of us faithful who are in these areas, even if
we will be killed for it. Look at Stephen at his time of death. Look at Paul,
Peter, John and all of the others when they were beaten, killed, and imprisoned
for being used to tell the Truth. They all were able to stand, because our
Father was always greater in them then anything that is in this world.
· Here is a question to ask yourself: why wouldn’t Jesus just rapture
these people out of their situation? If there is truly a pre-tribulation
rapture to save us from the effects of the Great Tribulation, why don’t these
believers get to escape their great trial?
· Remember Jesus is showing us everything in its entirety in Revelation,
and these people aren’t removed from their trial, they are told to endure it.
