There is many ways for HIM to keep the CHURCH from that hour, without taking the CHURCH out, He didn't haft to take the Jews out of Egypt, To keep the plagues from hurting the Jews, But HE still didn't let the plagues hurt them, Besides Do you think that we are better than HIS disciple that laid their lives down for JESUS, OR better then the reformer who also give their lives for JESUS, He even says that there is going to be more after the reformers that will die for HIS name sake, And if we die for JESUS's, It should a honor for us to die for HIM But He still would haft to HELP US through that to be able to give our lives for HIM, DO you think that the disciples give their lives for JESUS without JESUS giving them the strength to give their lives, I can tell you JESUS had to give them the strength, to give their lives. So HE did keep them from that hour by not letting them fall, even thou they give their lives. Praise GOD For the strength we can have through HIS spirit. By HIS power we won't fall, even thou we mite haft to give our lives also, it will take HIS power to deliver us.
GOD bless as HE sees fit.
