And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake—Matthew (Matthew 24:12) adds this important intimation: "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many"—"of the many," or "of the most," that is, of the generality of professed disciples—"shall wax cold." Sad illustrations of the effect of abounding iniquity in cooling the love even of faithful disciples we have in the Epistle of James, written about the period here referred to, and too frequently ever since.
but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved—See on Matthew 10:21-22; and compare Hebrews 10:38-39, which is a manifest allusion to these words of Christ; also Revelation 2:10. Luke (Luke 21:18) adds these reassuring words: "But there shall not an hair of your heads perish." Our Lord had just said (Luke 21:16) that they should be put to death; showing that this precious promise is far above immunity from mere bodily harm, and furnishing a key to the right interpretation of the ninety-first Psalm and such like.
