Did Christ not say to endure till the end ?

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

When is the end ? It dang show ain't the rapture

Yes Scripture teaches to ENDURE to the END.

What do you believe “ENDURE” means?
What do you believe “to the END” means?

You will not be worthy if you do not:

“…take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” (Luke 21:34)

So I’ll be watching to be accounted worthy. Pre-tribbers will be in shock and may not be counted worthy.

So what is your point?
You will be ON the Earth, suffering Gods Wrath, while God is deciding IF you are Worthy?

What shall be the Deciding FACTOR for God to Decide you (upon the Earth, suffering Wrath coming down from Heaven)....ARE Worthy?

The Rapture does not Apply to those who ENDURE and become saved.

Try to stay in context.
Best to hold your wild accusations against others beliefs that you do NOT understand.
You have already been proved wrong that Noah was upon the Earth during the First Tribulation.

By watching.

Being prepared with oil in my lamp.

By not receiving the mark.

Etc.

Read the Bible without the leaven of men. It’s pretty straight forward.

This thread is ABOUT the rapture.
You each have come here MAKING ATTACKS, ACCUSATIONS, that no one themselves have said is their beliefs.

Low-down, VERY unbecoming to pretend your beliefs stand simply on you trying to stuff YOUR WORDS in an others mouth.

Stand for your own beliefs....
What IS your purpose to be ON Earth WHEN Gods WRATH is coming down from Heaven...?

What is YOUR STANDING?
Which is ASKING EXACTLY HOW you ARE Prepared?
A Believer? A Christian? A Watcher? An oil hoarder?
WHAT is your standing?

You aren’t an authority.

Stop asking questions and start hearing out of the scriptures!

“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:18-19)

I am quite familiar with Scriptures and know what Scriptures do and do not apply to me AND WHY.

I never claimed to be an authority. DUH, expressly asked YOU to state your standing, instead for trying to SPEAK FOR YOU, as you do to others.
You are the authority of your own beliefs and your own standing according to your beliefs.

Very ODD you wiggle and dodge to even be able to Express your own standing....but VERY Obviously only have the means to make accusations against others for what YOU say FOR THEM.

Some scriptures don’t apply to you?

That about sums it up.

You adhere to an unbiblical system. Not once are we taught out of the Bible that some scriptures don’t apply to some people while applying to others.

LOL...utter nonsense.
By your misguided MINDFUL understanding...

By your testimony John 5:29 APPLIES TO ALL PEOPLE...

LOL...you shall be raised to the resurrection of life AND to the resurrection of damnation... :rolleyes:

John 5:
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

You were not slow to speak accusing people of saying what they did not say! You speaking for others what they did not say... IS not TRUTH.

Your teaching Is CORRUPT.
You should have LEARNED from Before the time man was Created...
God was establishing DIVISIONS.
Divisions have continued to occur.

It is absolute nonsense, to claim ALL SCRIPTURE APPLIES the same to ONE MAN, when God has Clearly revealed, When Christ Jesus Clearly revealed...
Men “ARE” Divided, What Applies to one man DOES NOT automatically APPLY to an other man.

Did you NOT notice the teaching of the FIRST Tribulation sent down from Heaven?

8 were saved, Divided FROM, the rest of the entire population of the Earth drowned/killed by the Destruction upon the face of the Earth.

Soon yes very soon into the warm embrace of his arms at long last.... this is what my heart tells me, i have no poof of it no evidence of it no real reason to believe it other than this warmth inside me when i think of finally running into his arms and the words soon very soon echo inside me.

For those who long for the call home perhaps you may feel the same way perhaps i may not be alone in this, yet I do know that there are those who have a different view of when the rapture is and they are all welcome to their view. But for those who believe in a soon coming rapture what do you think? I admit that i still think we still have a little ways to go yet it seems very close this call home yet at the same i don't allow myself to live in the joy of the nearness of it because i simply do not truly believe it i still have my doubts i am to afraid of putting my faith in it's nearness just to bbe let down yet again.

I once as a new believer was very excited for the rapture when i learned about it i followed youtubers who preached on it and sadly was lead astray by false prophets who declared the nearness of the rapture i was severely damaged by them i gave up on the rapture not able to deal with the pain of the supposed hope of the rapture

Those false prophets broke me and for several years i paid no attention to it i studied bibble prophecy just because i am fascinated by it but i stayed far away from the rapture. it was in 2017 that i had a dream where God spoke to me saying don't give up on the rapture it is closer than you think. I obeyed and decided to once again believe in the rapture and look for it.

Now today even as i began writing this thread a song came on singing about coming home as if God speaking to my heart yet even so i still have that fear inside that part of me that never quite healed. False prophets damaged me very badly and i wish i could say i have the hope that we can finally be looking up believing that he will be coming for us soon like i hear many claiming even in my own heart this is what is spoken though it is still a little longer than what everyone else is saying but i just cannot because that inner wound is still open.

At times i can say that i believe it is soon but then the fear of it being just another time of people saying it is soon when once again nope wrong sorry. How i wish i could let go of this fear and pain and have hope like everyone else

The fear... you are feeling, is from your not knowing what is to happen in the future.

But why is that, if... you are a believer on Christ Jesus?

God's Word is given us who believe in order to show us what He expects of us, and also to forewarn us of new things to come.

And one of those new things to come is Christ's future return to gather His faithful Church.

He told us about that future time, and even gave us a ballpark timing of when to expect it to occur.

It is all written in His Holy Writ.

So why would you depend on some man to tell you about it, when you have God's Word in your possession?

Scripture says nothing about becoming saved after some rapture ,it's those who are saved that must endure till the end ,what do you think the gospel armour is for ?

Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to with stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

We will stand against Satan, and all his forces. The "evil day" is just before the Lord's return, and on that day we had better be prepared to stand and face Satan, with our full armor on.

Why would one need to be sealed if they not gonna be here
Last I saw the ocean's are on the earth ,try again.

@Cross8527

Pay attention to the comments of:
@Truth7t7
@Michiah-Imla
@n2thelight

They have each come as an “attacker”, without one shred of mention their own belief.
Their own “attacks”, is to their own “embarrassment”...accounted to their own “false accusations”.

Who has said...they believe fantasy? Believe Schofield ? Believe Noah was on the Earth during the first Resurrection? All scripture applies to ALL men?
It is all out of the LYING mouths of Attackers.

Simply Attacking an other with lying accusations, IS NOT Gods method of determining Worthiness of His Gift of Salvation.
You do not arrive at the TRUTH, by consideration of what LIARS say.

Uh, you think there is ONLY ONE day of Evil present upon this Earth?
SATAN has been upon this Earth for 6,000 YEARS!

We will stand against Satan, and all his forces. The "evil day" is just before the Lord's return, and on that day we had better be prepared to stand and face Satan, with our full armor on.

What is your Standing? Your belief?

Why would one need to be sealed if they not gonna be here

LOL....even a five yr old knows the land beneath the ocean is NOT DRY Land...why embarrass yourself?

Why as a Christian are you afraid of His wrath?

I am NOT afraid of The Wrath of God sent down from Heaven.
What do you make that claim for me? Do you know that is called LYING?

You could be standing in the middle of a billion non believers and not one hair on your head will be touched

LOL, that’s funny, and not sound doctrine.

LOL not pride. It’s called WISDOM!
What you babble is accusations AS IF, that is all you need.

And you are OFFENDED, when asked for you to state your own standing. By your very own inability to state your own standing...
The Rapture likely DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.
