#238 - Kept from the Time of Tribulation: Revelation 3:7-13
Manage episode 429364034 series 3005502
In the sixth of the seven letters to the churches, Jesus makes a precious promise to the church in Philadelphia in Asia Minor that applies to the church today. They will not go through the time of tribulation that is coming upon the whole world. Jesus also promises them that He is coming quickly. We call this imminency--nothing in God's prophetic timeline needs to happen before Christ comes for His church in the Rapture event which keeps all the church out of the Tribulation period. The Philadelphian church merited no complaint from the Lord because of their faithfulness amidst the adversarial Jews of the "synagogue of Satan." They are promised unique rewards that indicate a deeper intimacy with the Lord in the future kingdom. Believers will find comfort in this message of the Lord's coming with rewards and will be challenged to urgently share the message via the open doors God provides.
