All scripture was written for us. Not all scripture is written to us.

Scripture Study Tips

When dissecting any verse of scripture. Ask yourself, of whom, to whom, with what words, what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what is written before and what follows any single verse context.
"""""Myles Coverdale, Bible theologian/translator."""""

So, ask: Who is writing? Who’s it written to? What are the circumstances? What’s the context before? What's the context after?

Invariably Matt 24:13 is posted, OUT OF CONTEXT. Remove the TEXT and all that's left is the CON!

Matt 24:13 Proper Context. Who is the speaker? JESUS

Context: Who is Jesus speaking to? Verse 2 earthly/jewish disciples. This is day 3 of passion week. The Holy Spirit has yet to be given, therefore, no Body of Christ/Christian exist.

Context: What is Jesus speaking about? Verse 3 the end of the world/age. The end of your life? NO!

Context: Verses 4-13 The prophecy here parallels the END TIME seal judgments:

Matt 24: Vs 5 - Rev 6:2 false christs, Vs 6 - Rev 6:3&4 war, Vs 7 - Rev: 5&6, Famine, Vs 6&7 - Rev 6:7&8 death, Vs 9-13 - Rev 6:6-11 martyers

Matt 24:14 the gospel of the kingdom =100% jewish doctrine. Quote: "and then shall the end come". The end of one's life? NO!

Vs 15 references Daniel & the abomination of destolation

Vs 16 let those where? in Judea! NOT A CHURCH GOER IN THE USA!

Vs 21 there shall be great tribulation. In your life? No! Vs 27 Christ returns. Vs 29 After the tribulation of those days, NOT your life!

Context: Matt 24 Jesus is speaking to "Jews only about Israels Future" Fortelling the tribulation period to come. BTW the tribulation is referred to as JACOB/ISRAELS TROUBLE. Jeremiah 30:7

When reading Vs 13, he who endures to the end. One must take from scripture via context. Not add to scripture one's own false non-contextual, doctrinal narrative.

Example:
Matt 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Ok, Jesus tells his disciples DON'T go to gentiles. Would we be correct to broad brush this statement Jesus made here apply it to the Church today? We can't broadly paint future Christians/The Body of Christ into this verse.
