Commentary on Revelation 3:10
Theological / DevotionalWord of my patience. Some interpret this phrase to mean, “my word of patience,” that is, my injunction to be patient; others, as the teaching concerning the patience of Christ (cf. 2 Thess. 3:5). The two ideas are combined in the thought, “Christ encourages us to be patient as He was patient under trial.”
From. Gr. ek, “out of,” indicating that the overcomers will successfully endure the period of tribulation, not that they will be untouched by it (see on Dan. 12:1; Matt. 24:21, 22, 29–31).
Hour of temptation. Here not a specific length of time, whether literal or prophetic, but a “season,” or “time.” “Hour” is here used in the same sense as in ch. 3:3. In harmony with the repeated references in the Revelation to the imminence of Christ’s return (see on ch. 1:1), the “hour of temptation” doubtless refers to a great time of testing preceding the second advent.
Them that dwell. This and similar expressions (chs. 6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:2, 8) are used consistently throughout the Revelation to refer to the unrighteous, upon whom the divine judgments will be poured out.
