Revelation 2:10

Do not be afraid. You may suffer, but do not fear. The Devil. He is the power behind those who claim to be Jews. ["Jew" in the Bible is applied to different groups of people. Sometimes it means specifically the Pharisees, Sadducees and teachers of the Law (the group who rejected Christ).] Your troubles will last ten days. A definite, full, but short period of time. See Matthew 24:22; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; 1 Peter 1:6-9. Be faithful to me. Not just until death, but even if it costs you your life! Crown of life. Note the emphasis on victory over death! (See also 2 Timothy 4:7-8.)
