He that shall endure unto the end…..that is, the END OF THE AGE, the same shall be saved.

Our mortal bodies are kept alive in this present evil age until the end of it without dying as we shall have His eternal (age-lasting) life keeping us standing in the here-and -now.

Mat 24:13-14 KJV
(13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come
.

How do we keep living in our mortal bodies to the end of this age?

By our faith in Him….and our faith is active.

We keep the “daily” sacrifice of our Lord in this mortal body which keeps our mortal bodies alive until the end of this present evil age. We always bear about in this mortal body the dying of the Lord Jesus so that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh….which keeps our mortal bodies standing here in this earth until the end of this age that we are living in now.

2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.


Our mortal bodies are dead because of sin….but the Spirit of Him that raised Jesus from the dead shall also make alive (quicken) our mortal bodies so that we may live in this earth until the end.

Rom 8:10-11 KJV
(10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.


Those who endure until the end of this age in their mortal bodies (who have not died...shall not have slept) by faith shall at the end of this age (at the last trump) then be “changed”. We who are alive and remaining in this earth (as the others perish), shall then put on immortality. Then there is no chance of ever dying again. This "mortal" (subject to death) body shall then put on immortality. We, who do not "sleep" (in death of the mortal body) will then be changed at the end of this age/beginning of next age.

1Co 15:51-57 KJV
(51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


Death is then swallowed up in victory. We shall have never died in this current age as the life of Jesus kept our mortal bodies alive UNTIL the end where our mortal bodies (which have never died) shall then be transformed into immortal bodies.

(54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
(55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

(56) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.


Thanks be to God which gives us the victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. We will have then cheated death so-to-speak by our Lord….keeping His daily sacrifice in our mortal bodies which kept our mortal bodies alive until the “even horizon”….the putting on of immortality at the last trump.

(57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
