This belief is also held by some True Christians that once believed in a wilderness Place of Safety being essential.<br><br>In the article&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/getting-started\/church-eras-of-revelation\/\">Church Eras Of Revelation<\/a>&nbsp;we covered the message from Jesus on the state of various churches throughout the past two centuries. In that message he promises protection to only ONE church. The church of Philadelphia.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Revelation 3:7-13<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">\u201cWrite\n this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. This is the \nmessage from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of \nDavid. What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can \nopen: \u201cI know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you \nthat no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word \nand did not deny me. Look, I will force those who belong to Satan\u2019s \nsynagogue \u2014 those liars who say they are Jews but are not \u2014 to come and \nbow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I \nlove. \u201cBecause you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect \nyou from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world \nto test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to \nwhat you have, so that no one will take away your crown. All who are \nvictorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will \nnever have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and\n they will be citizens in the city of my God \u2014 the new Jerusalem that \ncomes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new\n name. \u201cAnyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and \nunderstand what he is saying to the churches.<br><\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Revelation 12:14<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.<br><\/span><br>The verse above shows that Philadelphians will be protected for three and a half years in the wilderness. What happens to all the non-Philadelphian Christians?<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Daniel 7:25<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">He will defy the Most High and oppress the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change their sacred festivals and laws, and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time. <\/span><br><br>The same words, the same time period. So, not only do you have to be True Christian, you also have to be a Philadelphia True Christian.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Revelation 12:17<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children \u2014 all who keep God\u2019s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus. <\/span><br><br>&nbsp;Let&#8217;s look at some other warnings about this time.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Luke 21:35-36<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.\u201d <\/span><br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Matthew 16:24-25<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">Then Jesus said to his disciples, \u201cIf any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. <br><\/span><br>A half-hearted attitude towards being a Christian just won&#8217;t cut it. That was clearly a problem in the other six non-protected churches. You need to be fervently supporting God&#8217;s Work in this present time.<br><br>In the last Church of Revelation, the Laodiceans, Jesus tells them to change. Laodicean basically means &#8220;people decide&#8221;. This Church has lost it&#8217;s way and changed some of the doctrines that it held dear from many decades. The members are not completely following God&#8217;s instructions as one of his True Churches.<br><br><span style=\"color: rgb(238, 0, 0);\">Revelation 3:14-22<\/span><br><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 158, 213);\">\u201cWrite\n this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message\n from the one who is the Amen\u2014the faithful and true witness, the \nbeginning of God\u2019s new creation: \u201cI know all the things you do, that you\n are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But \nsince you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you\n out of my mouth! You say, \u2018I am rich. I have everything I want. I don\u2019t\n need a thing!\u2019 And you don\u2019t realize that you are wretched and \nmiserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from\n me\u2014gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy\n white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and\n ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and \ndiscipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your \nindifference. \u201cLook! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice\n and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as\n friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just \nas I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. \u201cAnyone with \nears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying \nto the churches.\u201d<br><\/span><br>So, be a aim to be True Christian if you wish God to offer you protection from the Great Tribulation. And, be a Philadephian Christian just to make sure.<\/p>\n{&#8220;title&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;nav_menu&#8221;:&#8221;13&#8243;}\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1487,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1760","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1760"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1889,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1760\/revisions\/1889"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccog.uk\/wps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
