ACC ~ Revelation 3 v10

CHRIST WILL DELIVER THE CHURCH. TYCONIUS: Although the church is constantly put to the test by both internal and external conflict, and either individuals partially or the whole generally are attacked by various temptations, yet the hour of temptation may also refer to the time of the antichrist who will come in the future. From this hour Christ the Lord promises that he will free every church that remains firm in his [commandments], so that the temptation to ruin might be recognized to be a deception. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALPSE 3.10.

CHRIST WILL NOT ALLOW THE FAITHFUL TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND ENDURANCE. ANDREW OF CAESAREA: By the “hour of trial” he speaks either of the persecution against the Christians which occurred almost immediately by those who ruled Rome at that time, from which he promised that the church would be freed, or he speaks of the universal coming of the antichrist against the faithful at the end of time. From this coming he pledges to free those who are zealous, for they will beforehand be seized upward by a departure from there, lest they be tempted beyond what they are able [to endure]. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 3.10-11.
