I never hear much on these verses. Maybe Red can teach some on them.
Id be interested in hearing his view what the intent is for this context.
As well as anyones.
I agree that the scriptures would give a heads up on all conspiracies, I see
plenty of that in scriptures.
Revelation 2:8-11
King James Version (KJV)
8And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10Fear 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.
11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
