Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian rescued Jeremiah from the cistern where he was left to die (Jer 38:7-10). When Jerusalem was destroyed the Lord rescued Ebed-Melech (Jer 39:17-18). This seems to be a type of how God will deal with those who trust in him in the latter days. They will demonstrate their trust by ministering to others (Mat 24:44ff, 25:34ff). No matter how bad things get, we must always maintain a ministry mindset. We must share our last cup of water. When you value your own survival over others, you manifest misplaced faith in yourself. When you give, even when it hurts or costs your life, you demonstrate faith in the God who saves (Rev 2:10). Jesus warns, “Most people’s love will grow cold…but he who endures to the end will be saved.” (Mat 24:12-13)
