Sign 6: Apostasy

Jesus predicts the reaction of His followers to this new and concentrated form of persecution. “Many will fall away, and betray one another.… Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.… Most men’s love will grow cold” (24:10–12)

We find evidence of this apostasy in the letters to the seven churches that St. John includes in The Apocalypse. The letter to the Hebrews was written in the decade preceding 70 A.D. and gives further evidence that all of this occurred as Jesus predicted. Times would be extremely difficult during the Great Tribulation of 64 to 67 A.D. But Jesus predicts that even the Roman Empire will not be able to snuff out His Church. The Christians that endure the trials all the way to the end are assured of salvation by the Savior Himself: “He who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 24:13)

Since you didn't go at the end you are what?
