Well even that is not applicable if the parousia has already happened. It could only apply to those until the "end of the age" came.

So you may be right. But more specifically, the Bible was written to the FIRST CENTURY Christians/church/"Israelites" who were told specifically that THEY would see the "end of the age".

Either they did, or Christ lied.

So the order to endure only goes until that time, and applied to the 1st century Christians. The fact you claim it for yourself is nonsense and out of context of the intended audience.
