Does Rev 3:10 refers to pre-tribulation rapture?

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. - Rev 3:10

Proponents for Pre-tribulation rapture often cite this verse to justify their belief. While the hour of trial refers to God's judgement, likely to refer to the Trumpet and Bowl judgement, they believe the term "keep you from" gives a hint to the taking away of the church which will happen before God pours his wrath on earth.

There are a few things to consider:

1. The hour of trial DOES refer to end time. This is different from Rev 2:10 where God will keep the church of Smyrna in a 10 day trial. In this case, the hour of trial is to be released upon the whole world. The beast only persecuted Christians, only God can release such wrath through the trumpets bowls.

2 The term "to keep you from" even in the Greek does not neccesarily renders a removal from calamity. It can also mean "to protect one from" danger, instead of removal from it.

3. Rev 9:4, the demonic Locusts that came from the abyss as a result of the blowing of the 5th Trumpet could only harm those who does not have the seal of God. It means, that those with the seal of God are present on earth, they are not removed from danger but are instead protected from it.

4. Rev 12:14, the woman clothed with sun moon and stars was given 2 wings to "fly to the wilderness". If this refers to the rapture, we can hardly refer heaven as "wilderness". Hence it is also obvious in this case, that the woman who is representative of the Church is protected from danger, but not removed from the earth.

5. Rev 12:17, if the church is not present during the great tribulation, then the rest of her offspring which is the church should not be present that the serpent waged war against.

While it is not neccesary to deny the doctrine of Pre-Tribulation rapture, Rev 3:10 does not support it either. But what is DOES say is, if we are faithful like the Philedelphia church, that in the midst of persecution from the wrath of the beast upon the Church, God will protect the Church from his wrath upon the beast.
