“Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time — the military metaphor of being 'shielded' (phroureomai, guarded/watched over) by God's divine power (dynamis theou) establishes divine protection as the present reality for believers. This protection extends 'until the revelation' (apokalypsis) of salvation in the eschaton (last days). The preservation until the end (telos) becomes a present protection and a future guarantee.
