Christians and the Tribulation

[Dave M]

So bad that He will keep His faithful ones out of it, as He said in Rev. 3:10.

actually he only said that to the one of the 7 churches, the church of Philadelphia,

yet to the church of Smyrna he said just about the opposite if they do not heed his word
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
