But they that endure until the end, the same shall be saved.
Many have used Matthew 24 and verse 13 to assert
that if Christians are gonna be saved,
it's imperative that they endure and persevere
in their works until the end.
But this verse has nothing to do
with the salvation of the soul
and more to do with salvaging Christians
from imminent execution at the hands of the Antichrist
in the end times.
The proof of this is found in verse number nine that states,
then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted
and shall kill you and ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake.
Verse 22 states, except those days
should be shortened, no flesh should be saved.
But for the elect's sake, those days should be shortened.
According to the Bible, in the end times,
Christians will undergo severe persecution
that can and will lead to their deaths.
However, if Christians could evade the global campaign
to massacre believers, they'll live long enough
to see the rapture and thereby be rescued
from the clutches of the Antichrist
who is seeking to kill them.
To go to heaven, you don't have to endure.
You just have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
