In this final installment on pretribulational rapture theology, David Forsyth examines Revelation 3:10 as the tenth reason supporting this eschatological position. The pretribulational rapture doctrine finds significant biblical support in Christ's promise to the Philadelphia church. When Jesus declared that He would keep faithful believers from the hour of testing that was coming upon the whole world, He established a pattern of deliverance applicable to all churches. The pretribulational rapture position understands this worldwide testing as the future tribulation period described throughout Scripture.

Through careful grammatical analysis of the Greek preposition "ek" (meaning "out of" or "away from"), the sermon demonstrates that Christ's promise indicates removal from the time period itself rather than mere protection through it. This pretribulational rapture understanding aligns with the doctrine of imminence and provides hope for faithful believers across all generations. The message emphasizes that faithfulness to Christ's word determines one's response to this promised deliverance, making the pretribulational rapture both a theological position and a call to steadfast obedience.
