Isa 54:8. In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee," saith the LORD thy Redeemer. This 'a little wrath' is the delivering up of God's elect to the synagogue of Satan.
Matt.24: The Gospel: 9: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Names sake. (Christians) 13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mark 13: 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, “Take heed lest any man deceive you:” 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but what shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Rev.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.
Again, it refers to the time of Satan's tribulation, nearly upon us today. God is not slack in remembering His Covenant to His People. Just as our Father set that 'bow' in the cloud, for us to see after a rain, likewise also, He will not forget His who love Him and do their best to follow Him, who also will not bow down to worship Antichrist, who comes first.
GOD will remember His called and chosen ones whom He did predestinate and foreknew.
Romans 8:28-31: 28 And we know that all these things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son. That he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
This same Covenant given to Noah is also for us still today, those in Christ.
