One Catholic Church father thought and wrote of this same concept as is written here. Polycarp talked with John the Apostle, and was his disciple. He was bishop of the church at Smyrna, so maybe the letter that John wrote to the church of Smyrna in Revelation 2:8, is to Polycarp or has special meaning to him. Polycarp also was martyred in Smyrna. His student (Irenaeus) wrote thie following note: Irenaeus wrote " Against Heresies" refuting the false doctrines that were creeping into the church. In one place, Irenaeus wrote, "And for this cause tribulation is necessary for those who are saved, that having been after a manner broken up, and rendered fine, and sprinkled over by the patience of the word of God, and set on fire [ for purification ] they may be fitted for the royal banquet". When speaking about the tribulation of Matthew 24, he says, "FOR THIS IS THE LAST CONTEST OF THE RIGHTEOUS, IN WHICH, WHEN THEY OVERCOME, THEY ARE CROWNED WITH INCORRUPTION". Irenaeus lived from A.D. 120-202.

(More) The Church of Jesus Christ shall witness the Antichrist's stand in the Third Temple, according to 2 Thessalonians 2. That event will precipitate the final three-and-a-half years of Daniel's seventieth week. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elects sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. Before we anything else is said we all must know that God loves us his creation. He freely wants to give us all things. And nobody by thought can add a cubit or 18 inches to their height. You cannot control the future but to influence it, you can. Nineveh was the flourishing capital of the Assyrian empire and was given an additional amount of time because of their repentance. Read the book of Jonah. It is short, having four chapters only and will take only about five minutes of your time. Luke 11:32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. Jesus speaking there. It was reported by Wesley that they gained forty years. John Wesley was an 18th century Anglican evangelist. Regardless, nobody is promised another single day on this earth. Today is the only day that one can have and to be saved from wrath to come in it. Life is a gift. Now, let us all treasure it as never before. (Less)
