To: Mark17
Jesus was not talking about Heaven or Hell, but physically surviving the tribulation period.

No, it is much more general than that. There are many sayings of the Messiah to all disciples to watch, not for the time of Jacob's Trouble, not for the fall of Jerusalem, but for the day of their reckoning. Additionally, to all who have ears to hear, each must endure, overcome, persevere to be saved. Consider the seven genuine churches in Asia that were part of the one holy catholic apostolic Church. They not only had to endure persecution, but also to maintain works, works, works.

  • He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
  • He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
  • He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
  • And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
  • He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
  • Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
  • To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
