Featured Enduring to the End

Mat_10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mat_13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat_13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat_13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Mat_24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat_24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat_24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat_24:14 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.

No honest reading of Matthew 10:22 and 24:13 can deny that the soteriology there is indeed conditional on enduring unto the end.
No honest reader of prophecy can deny that the end is the end of this world (age) [not the end of one's life] which terminates with a tribulation and the 2nd coming of Christ.
No honest reader can deny the dozens of cross-references that exhort tribulation believers to hold out for the duration of the tribulation and resist the temptation to take the mark of the beast, failing which they cannot enter the millennial kingdom.

The soteriology of Matthew 10:22 and 24:13 is undeniably conditional, if a person does not pick up the lenses of Pauline church-age salvation by grace and wrest non-Pauline passages to fit the one soteriological truth (that salvation is by grace alone) he knows.

Salvation in Matthew 10:22 and 24:13 is conditional, but it does not apply to us in the church-age.
It applies to tribulation saints after the rapture of the church.

2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

 

after the tribulation of The Abomination of Desolation, A.D. 70.

the harvest is the end of the world

so shall it be in the end of this world.

so shall it be in the end of this world.

I see this: 32 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near,f right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away". as a section included in Jesus' second answer to the disciples' second question, "3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, (First question) “when will these things happen, and (Second question) what will be the sign of Your coming (of The Abomination of Desolation, A.D. 70.) and (Third question) of the end of the age?”, question

"3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said,

(First question) “when will these things happen,

and (Second question) what will be the sign of Your coming (of The Abomination of Desolation, A.D. 70.)

and (Third question) of the end of the age?”

Answer to First question, “when will these things happen,"; what things?
Prior to; “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

answered here: "
4 Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. Mark 13:9–13; Luke 21:10–19)

9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many. 12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

and The answer to the Second question what will be the sign of Your coming
In PROVIDETIAL JUDGMENT (of The Abomination of Desolation, A.D. 70.)


15 So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’a described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. 18 And let no one in the field return for his cloak. 19 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you in advance. Mark 13:24–27; Luke 21:25–28)

26 So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days:

‘The sun will be darkened, = these Heavenly bodies to be seen as "Governing Bodies",

as in Gen 37:6 "He said to them, “Hear this dream which I have dreamed: 37:7 There we were binding sheaves in the field, when suddenly my sheaf stood up and remained upright; then your sheaves gathered around and bowed low to my sheaf.”

and the moon will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

= again, "Governing Powers".


30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Mark 13:28–31; Luke 21:29–33)

32 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

= Jesus, in Providential Judgment of the Jews, by the Roman's.

34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

= that generation living

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

= Heaven and earth passing away is DESCRIBED NEXT.

THEN;



The Answer to the Third question, "of the end of the age?”

36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,g but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. 39 And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man? 40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ 49 And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. 51 Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

Some aspects of soteriology change in relation to eschatology.
For example, during this current mystery church-age (from Pentecost to our rapture) salvation is by grace without works.
But after the rapture, during the tribulation, believers will have to endure to the end of the 42 months of the beast without taking his mark, to be saved. That's the context of Matthew 10:22.
You and I don't have to endure to the end of the tribulation to be saved, we got saved the day we believed on Jesus Christ.

You may not agree, but I'm just explaining why I brought eschatology into this

 

I appreciate the effort you put in writing these brother but it's hard to read all the different fonts and colours.

 

Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.'

 

Well, just restating the claim does not make it true, as orthodox as it may sound.

You're the one that quoted a verse that contradicts your own statement:

Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

You and I do not have to endure to the end of the 42 months in resisting the mark of the beast to be saved.
In fact, we don't have to endure anything to be saved...not even each other

 

You don't get to dictate what methodology your brother employs to discuss soteriology.
Soteriology and eschatology go hand-in-hand.
You can disagree, but not dictate how I make my argument, especially when I made relevant, pointed observations.

And again, restating a position and declaring disdain do not a soteriology make.

So you and Gill agree that salvation is conditional on works.

The "all true believers will persevere" of course flies in the face of a dozen scriptures, but no matter. Let's just cherry pick the ones that fit our soteriology. We do that by disdaining dispensationalism and just ignoring verses which contradict (if dispensationalism be ignored) like:

Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

That's a true believer drawing back unto the perdition of his soul because he did not endure, no matter how you slice it friend.
And it does not apply to you and me because it isn't addressed to us.

 

Then you quoted this conditional list which the believers must fulfill:

And then I anticipated the "but the believers fulfill them by being preserved" argument by noting that:

So all your points were fairly addressed.

 

I was not asking you. Nor did you answer the question my friend.
