With my new timeline of Pentecost Rapture in
2023, I finally understand what is the ten days in
Revelation 2:10.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things
which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some
of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall
have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.
The church Smyrna shall have tribulation for
10 days. These 10 days are the 10 days between Jesus'
Ascension and Pentecost. After Jesus ascent to heaven, the
church of Smyrna has faced tribulation since. We have seen
many documentary and witnessing material since first
century that many Christians have died because of their
faith and witness to Jesus. But Jesus promises them that
they only have 10 days of tribulation and trial. In simple
term, Jesus shall call the church Smyrna home on
Pentecost.
Jesus' Ascension ----- 10 days of
tribulation, trial for Smyrna church, --------
Rapture on Pentecost, end of "10 days" tribulation of
Smyrna church
In subsequent verse 11, Jesus promises
Smyrna church shall not face the second death.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh
shall not be hurt of the second death.
The Smyrna church shall not face the second
death because during the event rapture, our body is
changed from mortal into immortal. We have inherited a
resurrected body, incorruptible body. We shall never
face second death. Verse 11 reinforces the event rapture
in verse 10 which should occur 10 days after Jesus'
ascension, that is, in a future Pentecost.
