Gospel Notes
Jesus foretells the end of Jerusalem and gives the signs of the approaching end of the world. In the last days Christians will be severely persecuted by the corrupt world. This calls for endurance through the sufferings. The Christian will be saved if he endures to the end. According to this passage there is much to endure: hatred, betrayal, wickedness. It will be an endurance contest, and only those who last will have the victory of new life in the Kingdom.
