In Rev 3:10, the Hour of Temptation is referred to. I have read some ideas on it but can't still quite grasp what it is and the reason for it? I'd appreciate some help with this
!
Does it make a difference if we realize everyone who dies before this day would already be taken from earth and therefore be spared this hour? It was written 1900 years ago and all of them are done on this earth so they wont go through it.

I would point you to what Jesus was saying in the gospel when talking about this
“But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Matthew 24:20-25, 29-
consider that the church who received that letter are all passed on so I think God has always taken e righteous from the earth as they pass on to keep them from evil that is coming it was even his answer in the ot
When pondering why good people perish often in unjust ways , agora answer is that he is sparing then from evil which is to come into the world
“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.”
Isaiah 57:1 KJV
consider that Peter was crucified and suffered greatly and died , Paul also died at the hands of Neros soldiers , James was beheaded , Stephen was stoned to death those are all
Members of the church the one and only church . They were all spared from the time of the end and won’t have to endure what the end church will
but they endured what Christ endured on earth instead
