Excerpt from The Hungry Hearts Bible Commentary
21: And the brother shall deliver up the
brother to death and the father the child and the children shall rise up
against their parents and cause them to be put to death 22: And you
shall be hated of all for my name's sake but they that endure to the end shall be saved 23:
But when they persecute you in this city flee ye into another for truly I say
to you, you shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of Mortals
be come
Comments: Matthew 10:22 During the Dispensation of Grace (time of “Christ in
You”) whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, whoever believes
on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved, whoever confesses with their
mouth and believes in their heart shall be saved. But during the Time of
Jacob’s Trouble/The Great Tribulation whoever endures to the end shall
be saved.
Believing to be saved and enduring to the end to be saved both require
faith but are not synonymous. These speak of two distinctly separate time
periods and are evidence of a pre-tribulational harpazo [rapture].
Before the harpazo, one believes unto salvation. After the harpazo,
one must endure to the end to be saved.
Matthew 10:23 This verse speaks to the
fugitive status of believers during the seven years immediately preceding the
visible and physical return of Christ at the 2nd Coming. The Time of
Jacob’s Trouble/The Great Tribulation will not begin until after the harpazo.
