Mark 13:9-13 — Endure To The End

[Selah]

Mark 13:9-13 (NKJV) 9 “But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 “And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 “But when they arrest [you] and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 “Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father [his] child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13 “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Dear brothers and sisters, do the verses above imply that anyone will be raptured before the tribulation of the end times?

Not to me it doesn’t.

The church of Jesus Christ will be here until the last day. The great tribulation as prophesied by Daniel, Christ, John is the time of Jacob's trouble, Jacob being the elect of God. The beast will a make war against the saints and over come them to the degree they are no longer accepted/wanted in the false churches of the last latter days of the last day.

Revelation 13:7​

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
