It means physical survival through the Tribulation, not spiritual salvation.
Les Feldick teaches that endurance is not a means of earning salvation. The one who endures to the end is the one who survives the terrible events of the seven-year Tribulation, and God will preserve flesh-and-blood believers so they can enter the Kingdom.
Matthew 24:13 — This verse is the subject of the question; Les interprets 'saved' here as physical deliverance through the Tribulation.
In Matthew 24:13, Jesus says, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." In verse 22 He adds, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." The language in these verses concerns delivering people from the unprecedented calamity of that time. Jesus speaks of "flesh" being saved, and He specifically says the days will be shortened for the sake of the elect. The context is the great tribulation and the promise that some will survive it.
Les Feldick consistently teaches that Matthew 24:13 is not about spiritual salvation. He says, "We're not talking about salvation here. This is not salvation. We're talking about a physical survival" (Clip 3). The one who endures to the end is the one who survives the unprecedented tribulation. Les explains that the days will end exactly on schedule so that there will be survivors — especially the escaping remnant of Israel — because flesh-and-blood believers must enter the Kingdom. He also compares the removal of the Holy Spirit's restraining power to lifting a dam from a river, releasing a flood of iniquity. For believers today, Les teaches that the Church will be taken out before these things happen, because we are saved from God's wrath.
No. Les Feldick is emphatic that Matthew 24:13 is not about salvation in the usual spiritual sense. He says, "We're not talking about salvation here. This is not salvation. We're talking about a physical survival" (Clip 3). The verse has been twisted and lifted out of context. Endurance does not earn salvation; it describes those who make it through the Tribulation alive.
The end refers to the end of the seven-year Tribulation, which must finish on schedule. Les explains that "except those days should be shortened" means the Tribulation will not be prolonged; it will run its full 1,260 days plus 1,260 days. If it went even ten to twelve days longer, no one would survive (Clips 2, 5).
Survivors include the escaping remnant of Israel, who are the largest group of survivors. Les says there must be flesh-and-blood believers to go into the Kingdom, so God will bring the Tribulation to a timely end before all are killed. Otherwise there would be no one for the regeneration of the human race in the Kingdom economy (Clips 2, 4).
Les compares the removal of the Church and the Holy Spirit's restraining role to lifting a great dam out of a river: the reservoir of iniquity suddenly washes everything in its wake. With Christian influence gone, moral restraint collapses and wickedness floods the earth. This creates the horrendous conditions in which only those who endure physically will survive (Clips 3, 6).
No. Les teaches that the Church is insulated from these things and will be taken out before they come to pass. He points to Paul's teaching that believers have not been saved to God's wrath but saved from it. The warnings are written as an instigation for those who do not know the Lord to get right with Him, because these judgments will be awful (Clip 7).

and some of the powers that be are beginning to recognize that a society without religion is a society that's doomed. Because religion is the only thing that puts any kind of common sense into regulating behavior of the human being. But, we have to realize that most of the pagan religions of the world are so grossly immoral even in their religious practice that what we think is horrendous taking p…
Physical Survival
Les reads Matthew 24:13 and clarifies that "saved" here means "they will survive," and he notes this is the gospel of the kingdom, not the gospel of grace.
Survivors and the Remnant
Jesus' statement about shortened days means the Tribulation will end on schedule so that survivors — especially the escaping remnant of Israel — can enter the Kingdom.
Physical Survival, Not Salvation
Les explicitly says Matthew 24:13 is not about spiritual salvation; it is about physical survival through the catastrophic events after the Church is removed.
Elect and Flesh-and-Blood Believers
The days must be cut short so that flesh-and-blood believers survive to populate the Kingdom; otherwise no flesh would be saved.
The End on Schedule
The Tribulation will end right on schedule at 1,260 days plus 1,260 days; a slight extension would mean no one survives.
The Restrainer Removed
Like lifting a dam from a river, the removal of the Holy Spirit's restraining presence releases the flood of iniquity, making physical endurance the only way to survive.
The Church's Escape
Believers today will be taken out before these events, because they are saved from God's wrath, not to it.
Matthew 24:13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
The verse being asked about; Jesus is speaking about surviving the Tribulation.
Matthew 24:22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
This explains the promise of physical survival: the Tribulation will end on schedule so some flesh survives.
No. Les Feldick teaches that this refers to physical survival, not salvation by works. Endurance is not a payment for salvation; it describes the one who lives through the Tribulation.
The end is the end of the Tribulation, which Jesus says will come right on schedule. If it ran longer, no one would survive.
Those with physical, mental, and other strength to make it through, especially Israel's escaping remnant. God will preserve flesh-and-blood believers to enter the Kingdom.
