Promise to the church (3:10-12)
When the world’s anti-God system collapses, the church will face terrible persecution and martyrdom. That’s because it will be called on as a faithful witness to the rule and authority of God in a godless world. But because the names of the faithful witnesses are written in the book of life, they will be delivered and saved for eternal life.
While the church will suffer persecution, it will not be destroyed. That’s because the hour of trial comes “upon the whole world” to try “those who live on the earth” (3:10). This does not include the church. In Revelation, the phrase “whole world” or “those who live on the earth” is always used for the godless world or enemies of the church (6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:8).

In any case this day isn't over yet, and I am looking forward to God's perfect timing to rapture His church.
What did not make it to the news as I noted in an earlier blog is the double lunar eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets, likely representing Christ coming to the Jews as well as the Gentiles. This event has never been seen or heard of until the 13th of this September. The next item that went unnoticed is the invasion by Russia, Hezbollah, and Assad, in fighting ISIS. This could well be the beginning of the Gog and Magog war written about in the bible. Please stay alert. Today is also the final day of caution by the French Prime Minister regarding climate chaos. Today could be the day that Deborah's grave opens, hallelujah, \Maranata, come Lord Jesus.
