Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
How could the saints be hated of all nations for Jesus' name sake but this can happen today, and it is starting to happen now.
Since the nations governments are together with a one world government, and the New Age Christ will negotiate peace in the Middle East they have the plan to stop Christianity from being preached favoring religion that exalts people so they will start going against Christianity before the peace treaty.
There is much talk against Christianity now which they are vehemently talking against it saying they do not have the right interpretation of the Bible, they are hypocritical, they are not tolerant of other religions not wanting peace, they are exclusive, they do not like the LGBTQ community, and they are not the answer for a better world, making them out to be the bad guys.
But this can be expected for when the New Age Christ negotiates peace and there is a peace treaty he will push the agenda of the new age movement, and the world will be split in to 10 sections with a leader in each section in league with the New Age Christ, so the New Age Christ, and the 10 leaders, want to make Christianity out to be bad before the New Age Christ pushes his agenda that is against Christianity.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
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.
The world is motivated by selfishness, and arrogance, and they get worse as time goes on for that is the direction they are going, and iniquity is a lack of love for it is selfishness, and arrogance, and if they get too bad in a society they will not like each other.
Look at America that enjoys sin above all the other nation how they do not like each other much.
They fight with each other, and belittle each other, more than any other nation, and the internet is ground zero.
The politicians fight with each other, and belittle each other, testifying that their whole system is based on fighting, and belittling, and individual exaltation.
A society will not like each other in that circumstance.
I doubt that back in the first century they had such condition that iniquity would abound so much that they would not love each other when there was not technology causing money to flow like a raging river, and they could reach out farther to make more money, and became highly selfish, and arrogant, scurrying about to get all the money, and material things they could get with the attitude get all you can get and forget everyone else.
Which God told us of the last generation which they shall devour the poor from off the Earth, and the needy among men, and that is because of technology.
Today iniquity would abound causing the love of many to wax cold.
The rest of the chapter is about the New Age Christ stepping in to Jews newly built temple, and claiming to be God, which will happen in the future when the peace treaty is signed that Israel will go back to animal sacrifices, and he will step in the temple and tell them to stop animal sacrificing, and he is their God.
Jesus said there would be great tribulation such as has not been on Earth before, or ever will be again, which would not make sense back in the first century concerning what little saints there were for how could it be the worse persecution.
The persecution would be greater after the first century when there are more saints.
Which the persecution at the end time will be on a world wide level with all nations governments involved as well as the Pope and Vatican.
I think that is greater persecution than back in the first century.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Also after that tribulation it says that the elect will be gathered from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, which is all the saints.
But all the saints would not have left the Earth back in the first century for if they did it would be the end, and Jesus would put down the world, but the world was not put down in the first century for they continued.
It does not make sense that it happened in the first century with the exception of the first 2 verses of Jerusalem being overthrown.
