Rev 3:10
10 Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.
Do you believe this scripture-A simple yes or No will do
It is part of scripture and will come to pass.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Some people believe the 7 Churches in Revelation are in the first century.
Jesus said He will keep the saints from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
How can there be the same temptation that shall come upon all the world at the same time to try all the people of the earth.
This means there has to be an influence of political power, governmental power, and military power that is influencing the world that the world's people has no power against that is not in accordance with God's operation on earth.
Which could of not happened in the first century for no political, governmental, and military power could influence the whole world.
And that influence has not happened yet.
That temptation is when the nations of the world come together and say Peace and safety which they establish a system worldwide that is not in accordance to the operation of God.
Now the world has a choice to follow the world or to get right with God.
And the hypocrites have a choice to stay with God or follow the world which they might think it is of God.
But the saints in the truth will not be tempted by the world to think they have the solution for peace on earth.
And they will know it is not of God for peace on earth.
The 7 Churches is a prophetic statement to how the Church age will go in popular influence.
And if any faults God always has people in the truth.
Church of Ephesus
Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Act 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Act 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
This Church was neglecting the poor and needy leaving their first love.
Church in Smyrna
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Church in Pergamos
Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
They became worse.
Church in Thyatira
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
They became worse because as time went on they incorporated more falsehood and pagan and occult ways because of their faulty foundation.
Official State Religion(380 AD) Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the official religion, solidifying the Church's foundation within the Roman Empire.
Medieval Dominance(5th-15th Century) After the Western Roman Empire's fall, the Church, particularly the Papacy, filled the power vacuum, becoming the supreme spiritual and temporal authority across Europe, controlling education, law, and art.

Decline and Reformation(16th Century)
Church in Sardis
Rev 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Rev 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Jesus did not have fault with this Church for the truth was prevailing.
Jesus will deliver them from the hour of temptation that is in the future.
The synagogue of Satan the Roman Catholic Church will be given over to the new age christianity based on the occult and evolution giving support to the New Age Christ/ antichrist.
Church of the Laodiceans
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
Pro 30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Pro 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Pro 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Pro 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
The last Church age where there are many hypocrites and loving money and material things.
Which can only happen at the time of technology.
Which the last generation shall devour the poor from off the earth and the needy from among men.
Which they will care about heaping money to themselves.
Which technology caused money to flow like a raging river and they can reach out farther to people to make money and some globally.
Which human nature will act in greediness.
