Revelation
Chapter 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.
SJR's Note
Jan 23
This is the third time in Revelation where the word "tribulation" is used to describe a Godly, righteous people going through suffering at the hands of the world.
All 5 times "tribulation" is used in Revelation it's talking about God's people going through it: Revelation 1:9, Revelation 2:9, Revelation 2:10, Revelation 2:22, Revelation 7:14.
The ten day tribulation might parallel the ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of Atonement, see Leviticus 23:24-27. It might be symbolic or literal.
