These are such good videos. The most persuasive explanation on the ten days, in my opinion, has related to the day of atonement motif that seems important, particularly to the opening chapters of Revelation. The high priest is presented and we are ushered into something of a temple procession - there were ten days of "affliction" that separated the feast of trumpets from yom kippur. As we are seeing something of a grand fulfillment of this (and other) feasts and types, the ten days may simply serve a thematic role.

Interesting about the emperor worship and the certificate to trade. Some parallels to today here in the west.

I believe the letter to the church of Smyrna, speaks to those believers who will miss the rapture. Verse ten of Revelation chapter two is very telling, and it says; "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". When they're told that the devil shall cast some into prison, I believe that is a reference to the Antichrist, who will persecute the tribulation saints. I believe the ten days will be literally ten days or possibly a short period of persecution, before they are martyred. I believe these martyred believers will be those souls that are under the alter (Revelation 6:9-11).
These persecuted believers (The church of Smyrna), were promised by the Lord; "He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death (Rev 20:14)".
I'm sure most won't believe this, because most believe that all believers will be raptured; and if that were true, then why is Jesus warning the churches/believers, in five of the seven letters to repent? He's telling them to repent because if they don't, they will miss the rapture!
