You consider acts 1:7 a rebuke? Do you know what it actually states?
Israel the nation must be given a legitimate free choice to repent and believe Jesus is their messiah, before the kingdom could come to them.
What do you think peter was doing in acts 2 and 3, pleading with Israel to do so? You mean you thought he was appealing to gentiles?

Matt 24
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
I agree endure unto the end mean endure to the death.
I may wrong but to me it mean to be save we must endure to death.
Say a Muslim convert, than face persecution.
Loose his job, go to jail. Than He change his mind and deny Jesus to avoid death. He may free from persecution but loose his salvation.

Imagine Zechariah 8 stating clearly in her final verse
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
If you are the 11, you would understood that once Jesus returns to establish the kingdom on Earth as promised when the nation Israel repented, the task of evangelizing the gentiles would be so much more direct, 10 of them will take hold of one Jew and ask him whether they could go with him.
They don't even need to approach the gentiles to evangelize to them, the gentiles will come to a Jew by themselves.

It is possible to turn back to the Lord before she die. But if she not than I believe she loose her salvation.
Base on that verse, I believe it require endure to the end to be save.
It happen to my ex neighbor, she was convert and baptized, but my friend say she back to Muslim because she loose her income, and her brother require her back to Muslim if she want help.
I know some people are strong and chose to be homeless for some time and refused to deny jesus.
Matt 13
The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21
But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
He receive it with joy, mean he has been save for awhile but loose his salvation because he can't endure persecution.
What happen with my ex neighbor, I don't know, she die of diabetes and burry as Muslim with Muslim ritual, but I don't know if she turn back to the Lord a second before her death. Peter was deny Jesus, but repent.

That is the thing about free choice. It did not happen because the nation Israel never accepted Christ.
We now know what was the outcome in Acts 28 because we were born after that fact.
But as far as the 11, and Peter are concerned, they never stop preaching to Israel, all the way to their deaths (Galatians 2:7-9). They could not go to gentiles at all, Cornelius household was a one-off incident by Peter, since the nation has never repented.
Zechariah 8 will happen in the future during the 1000 year millennial reign, as God promised in that verse "In those days it shall come to pass".
