Wow, this is incredibly hypocritical.
You are accusing Me of misapplying a verse and yet nowhere in that psg does it mention the Last Days.. unless I have forgotten
Did you skip over verse 3?
"Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
All you have to is read the entire passage, going back a few paragraphs, as opposed to only verse 13.
That said, I think it's important to know that sometimes the scriptures have layers of meaning… In other words, one passage can have more than one meaning. I read a commentary on that passage and that's what the commentator was saying, that it was talking about the persecution at that time, but also at the same time it was a prophecy about the last days.
The bottom line is, it's not saying that salvation is something you have to earn. It's just about persecution and true saved Christians enduring to the end, in the face of the persecution and the dangers that are ahead.
