    I don't understand why no one is looking at the context of the verse. The subject is the end times and tribulation. You have to look at that phrase in the context of the chapter. It's talking about enduring to the end of the tribulation during the end times.

    Brother Scott, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endue to the END (times), the same shall be saved.

    You say the subject is end times and tribulation.

    Did the people 1900 years ago have to consider this verse also. Did they died without Christ; not making it to the end times and tribulation. Whats going to happen to you if you die before the tribulation and the end times come. I don't think you understand End TIME and TRIBULATION.

    Revelation 22:10 Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for THE TIME IS AT HAND.

    I COME QUICKLY

    Revelation 3:11

    Revelation 22:7

    Revelation 22:12

    Revelation 22:20

    Revelation 2:16

    Revelation 11:14

    Revelation 2:5

    It has been 2000 year since these words were written; is that QUICKLY, perhaps with more study and more REVELATION, TRUTH would be more clear.

    Hebrews 9:28

    Colossians 3:4

    He APPEARS to us now in TRUTH of HIS WORD (written and living, Holy Spirit). At the death of this body of flesh (end time) he shall APPEAR to us to FACE to FACE.

    1 John 3:2

    Ephesians 4:13

    Ephesians 1:10

    Isaiah 27:12 ....and ye shall be gathered ONE BY ONE...

    Matthew 24:13, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

    The literal translation from the Greek is, but the one who HAS endured, not the one who will, but the one who has endured unto the end, this one will be saved.



    The first thing is, because it is an Aorist Participle, it shows the proof of those who are saved, and it matches the rest of the teachings in the New Testament.



    The person who is saved WILL endure to the end. So we have the proof, and secondly, the promise of salvation. That is a promise!



    Since the Bible uses a lot of future tenses, some say that salvation isn't here and now, but later. No! that is a promise. You are saved now. And when all this is over, the ones who will be saved are the ones who have endured unto the end.

    Salvation is present tense. It is something we have now. All those who have been born of God's Spirit are the ones who endure till the end!

    Scott,

    Matthew 24:13

    He that keeps the faith to the end, will be saved means just that. At Revelation 11:15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17 it happens. Whether you are a firstfruit, or part of the 2nd resurrection, you endured and will be rewarded.

    Blessings, and make the most of the time left.
