Rev 3:10 refers to "the hour of trial," or "the hour of temptation," or "the hour of the test." It seems to refer back to John 16:1-4. We pray in the Our Father, "and put us not to the test" or "lead us not into temptation." The "hour of temptation" or being put to the test is that time when God tests a person's true disposition and will, rather than their ability. In this sense God is said to tempt man. God tempted or tested Abraham(Gen 22:1-19), when He told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God tested Israel at Sinai (Ex 20:20). He tested Israel again in Judges 2:22. In the same way Job was tested or tempted. Temptation reveals man's true disposition and will toward God and the sincereity of his righteousness." In this sense even Jesus was tested when His "hour" finally came and He underwent His Passion and death. Paraphasing from entries under "hour " and "temptation" from Dictionary of the Bible, John L. McKenzie, S.J., Touchstone Books, Simon and Schuster, N.Y., N.Y. 1995 Emmaus |
