NIV: Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you,and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
NCV: Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer for ten days. But be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life.
I came across this verse and the whole theme around it was "if you can take it, you can make it." I thought that wss pretty sweet. God doesnt throw just anything at you testing you to see if you break down before you make it through, no that's not what God wants at all. He knows how much we can handle, so if your going through a tough time, remember God knows your a fighter and he knows you're going to be okay in the end. This verse is telling you that all the suffering you endure is from Satan, not God, which is in fact the truth.
Satan is trying to bring us down and defeat us, but if you have faith in the lord all the time, then he's the only one being defeated. God tells us "you will suffer for 10 days, but if you remain faithful even when facing death, i will give you the crown of life." Obviously 10 days isn't legitimate, its just God's way of saying, yes, you may suffer for a bit, but if you trust in me throughout, and stay with me, i will reward you.
Take Action: tbh i dont know how old all of you are that read this, but I want you to reject those things Satan throws at you. Dont let him Bring you down. Whatever the situation is, pray to God and he will help you through. Honestly, ask God for his help. Hes a miracle worker <3
