Being thrown in prison

(1/4) > >>

Nelson Boils:
Rev 2:10" Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, 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."

May you please share your story of how our Lord got you out of prison?Anyone?

Thanks

Hello Rolihlahla,

Question does this verse apply to us today or was it directed unto the believers of the seven Jewish congregations in Asia only?
It seems like it is addressed to practicing Jews (Israelites) who understand prophesy from being taught it in the synagogue.
See Rev 1:1-6

Nelson Boils:
Hi,

Yes I think it does apply to us aswell.We get thrown into a spiritual prison too where we don't see a way out but have to believe we will get out.

If you are one of the elect your hardship is here or is coming. Here Paul is talking to the Corinth Church of God who were mostly gentiles. There are more examples in other NT books.

1Co 12:2  Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 

1Co 12:13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 

2Co 1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

2Co 1:4  Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 

2Co 1:6  And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 

2Co 1:7  And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 

2Co 1:8  For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 

2Co 1:9  But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
