Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.
Mar 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such
as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time,
neither shall be.
Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those
days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened the days.
*******
EXCEPT THOSE DAYS
SHALL BE SHORTENED.
Imagine, I know you
can, imagine this because we live in a world where wars are a way of life for
so many. Even if the majority of us sit comfortably in our homes untouched in
any real way by wars we see the news, we hear the stories, we know family and loved
ones, friends who have gone to war. We know that the horror of it exists and to
believe otherwise is to hide from truth.
We can imagine the
wars that exist now, because they are REAL, now imagine a time so incredibly
bad that EVERYONE would die accept our Lord shortened the days of
TRIBULATION. Imagine war in your little
world that you live in. Imagine turmoil in a very real way, right outside your
door. Imagine horrors all around you, people dying, people suffering. This is
how it will be for some people in the end. I say some people because we KNOW
that others won't be feeling this horror so much. How do we know?
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it
be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives,
they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and
the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;
they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom
it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son
of man is revealed.
Eating, drink,
marrying, buying, selling, planting, building…. a normal life, right? An every day normal
existence.
We need to remember
this…
'...no flesh should
be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the
days. '
The elect's sake.
This speaks of
Christ's followers, those whom he hath chosen, it is for THEIR sake the days
are shortened. It is Christ's followers
who are on the verge of annihilation. No
flesh should be saved. The ONLY flesh that will be saved is that of Christ's
followers.
We read this--
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord
The DEAD in CHRIST
will rise first.
We which are alive
and remain shall be CAUGHT up together with them in the clouds to meet the
LORD.
We can't know
exactly how everything is going to unfold, but we have enough SIGNS to know
that those who are not watching the signs will be caught up in such deep
deception they'll believe they are Christ's but they are really Satan's.
More on the signs
tomorrow all by the GRACE of GOD!
IN HIS LOVE!
