Revelation 2:10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Does this,
A) mean literally 10 x 24 hours?
B) mean more of an expression of a length of time (i.e your suffering may not be healed overnight) ?

Just wondering how other people understand it

NKJV Study Bible, Scholastic Comment on Revelation 2:10 You will have tribulation ten days has been understood as ten short outbreaks of persecution during the NT era, but more likely it means suffering for ten actual days, or one brief period. The crown of life may be the "victory wreath" of the martyr, following the normal Greek use of crown for the garland given to winners in athletic events James 1:12 also promises the crown of life to believers who persevere under trial. Such perseverance will result in the ultimate enjoyment of life in God's kingdom.
