Are you saying that John Gill is wrong.

Yes. He's wrong, for the reasons I already explained. My final authority is not John Gill, so this doesn't bother me much.
I suppose I could retort "are you saying John Wesley was wrong" since he agrees with my reading of the passage. But John Wesley is not my final authority either.

How can you say that our Lord is wrong and that the poor are not preserved?

Did the Lord say the poor would be preserved forever? No, there is no conflict with what I said and what the Lord said. There is no problem here because those to whom the Lord was speaking always had poor people around them. That doesn't mean the Lord preserved all of them. Can you tell me where the poor of Jesus' time are now? I'm pretty sure none of them were preserved. The poor couldn't usually afford good mummification services.
