What does, “But the one who endures to the end will be saved” mean?

You’re not rightly dividing Israel and the body of Christ. Matthew is concerning the Jews, Paul writes to the body of Christ. There is a Church rapture which is not seen, then there is a rapture of tribulation Jews.

Who do you think the 10 virgins represent?

The virgins go to meet the bridegroom who is already married. They all started out with oil, the Holy Spirit, but some lost it. They cannot be the Church. It is the Son of man coming back as a married bridegroom.

Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

So you just missed, in your words and the scripture you posted - reveiw your own words as compared to Jesus words - they do not agree

Who told you all these lies - they cannot be the Church?

The Church is the virgin bride of Christ, never virgins. These are tribulation Jews trying to endure to the end.

Again, see what I've written here. It clearly shows that there is a pre-tribulation rapture in the holy scriptures.

I think one of the major issues of contention, whether or not The Elect of God, Christians, will go through the Great Tribulation, is due to a major misunderstanding of the scripture in both Ephesians 2:8 and Matthew 24:13. It is my hope this article saved in my favorites file for years now will assist in clearing that up.

In Matt 24:13, Jesus says the famous words:
Perhaps the most common understanding of this passage is that we must endure in good works to the end of our physical lives to be saved from hell. This understanding contradicts Paul’s words in Eph 2:8a:
Notice two differences between Eph 2:8a and Matt 24:13: First, the Matt 24:13 salvation is by enduring whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is by grace through faith. Second, the Matt 24:13 salvation is future (“will be saved,” from the Greek future tense, sothesetai) whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is past (“have been saved,” from the Greek perfect tense sesosmenoi). Salvation from hell was by grace through faith and has already happened to me, so what is the future salvation by endurance that Jesus is talking about in Matt 24:13? The answer is in the context.
Matthew 24:13 is part of an answer to the question that Jesus’ disciples asked earlier in the chapter:
It makes sense that the salvation in vs 13 should be in the future tense; after all, the disciples are asking about the future. Specifically, they were asking about the 7-year tribulation period. One reason we know that the Tribulation is in view is because Jesus says that the abomination of desolation (which Daniel talks about in Dan 9) will occur during this period. We also know that this is the tribulation because they asked immediately after Jesus said that not one stone of the temple would be left on another – surely a reference to the replacement of the 2nd temple with the temple that Ezekiel writes about in Ez 40-48.

Yep. There are still stones on top of each other.

We already know that the salvation in question is not salvation from hell, so what is it a salvation from? In verse 22, Jesus indicates that salvation from physical death is in mind:
When Jesus says, “He who endures to the end will be saved,” He does not mean that you must be good until you die to be saved from hell. He is talking about a specific group of people in the future who will need to endure to the end of the tribulation in order to be saved from physical death.
Understanding Matt 24:13 is good news for several reasons. It’s good news to know that we don’t need to endure to the end of the Tribulation because we aren’t in the Tribulation. It’s also good news to know that we won’t even be in the Tribulation, in fact, this is the doctrine that Paul points to for us to encourage each other with.1 Perhaps most of all, it’s a relief to know that we can take Jesus at His word to give eternal life to whomever believes in Him for it:

1. See this article by a popular theologian.

The post-Trib proponents haven't yet produced a scripture that proves the Church suffers the Wrath or the GT.

Revelation 6: 9-11
And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.

Revelation 7: 13-14
Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”
“Sir,” I answered, “you know.”
So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 20: 4-6
Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years were complete.
This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection!

You’re not rightly dividing Israel and the body of Christ. Matthew is concerning the Jews, Paul writes to the body of Christ. There is a Church rapture which is not seen, then there is a rapture of tribulation Jews.

Israel, Israel, and Israel...

We must Rightly divide the word of truth = Scripture alone

Adding your words to God's is forbidden and is sin - no matter who said it - God is no respecter of persons.

Taking away from God's words what HE did say is also sin and comes from the evil one.

To RIGHTLY divide the Word of Truth = Scripture must AGREE with Scripture - otherwise an error occurred

Scripture cannot lie

Memorize this verse, pray it every day and WALK IN IT with the Lord so that you are not decieved.

Proverbs 30: 5-6
Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

Totally agree, and...

It means those Christians who during the great tribulation endure, without renouncing Christ to save their lives, to the end will receive salvation.


Peter says it this way. —



In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:6-9

• receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
