Which "Audience" Will God "Keep From the Tribulation" (Rev 3:10)?

Most would prefer to avoid the Great Tribulation through a "pretrib rapture." In my experience, Revelation 3:10 is often used to prove this since it promises to keep "thee" from a global hour of testing for all on earth. But who is "thee"—all believers or someone else? The audience of any passage is what determines that. Ignoring the audience is a major source of false doctrine that deceives and even puts us in bondage. Learn how to pay attention to audience through several examples including the letter to the Church in Philadelphia of Revelation 3. »»

Yet along the way, there are several discoveries you won't expect or maybe prefer not to learn. For example, God's special place to protect us from the Great Tribulation is not in heaven and getting there takes more than professing Jesus; it takes listening and obedience. Worse for some is the constant failure of date setters but with timing clues we do have raising the prospect of having to wait way longer for the Second Coming than anyone dreamed. Perhaps most surprising is why it's OK if you don't study (or understand) Bible prophecy at all? »»
