The ‘body’ of Christ knows what the tribulation is... Christ said let no man deceive you.. mass deception is the ‘tribulation’. If you woke up tomorrow and discovered your doctrine was by and from that old Serpent, would you pray for mountains to fall upon you.
Why would Christ declare that for the elects sake ‘time’ was shortened. Rome has already a temple dedicated to the serpent. The rest is sure to follow.
Sorry dude - I believe you are incorrect.
Revelation 3:10
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
The “elect” in Revelation 7 cannot possibly be the church if the above in Revelation 3:10 is directed strictly for the Church. It’s a totally different group of folks.
It’s pretty pointless to go back and forth on this.
You believe what you want.
I’m looking forward to my Redemption and my Crowns to throw towards Christ the King!
