There was an article called Prophecy Basics on May 2, 2019 on the Home page. In it, the writer says:
I wanted to talk about the scripture given and if it says anything regarding a resurrection or rapture BEFORE or after tribulation.
Rev 3:10 is given as scripture for a resurrection/rapture before tribulation.
Is the hour of temptation the same as saying God' wrath? How about tribulation?
Why is this Church kept from temptation while everyone else is tempted? Because they kept word of his patience. And what is this patience but enduring through all things that may come on them whether they be strife or persecutions, this church remained firm in God's word, faith in Christ and the gospel account. The fact is, because they trusted in Christ and stayed true to the gospel during times of great difficulty/duress such as persecutions, that they were prepared and would be kept from this future temptation because of their experience. I don't see it showing anything to do with a rapture, a resurrection or a removal to heaven from earth.
I took a look at some well known commentators, and they to don't say or suggest this has anything to do with a rapture/resurrection either...but I acknowledge this is taught in some Pre TB circles for some reason.
and finally, there is the Church, which is resurrected and raptured before the Tribulation (1 Thess. 4:16–5:9; Rev. 3:10).
Rev 3:10 is given as scripture for a resurrection/rapture before tribulation.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
