Question regarding the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation which Christ spoke of, says that the end times will be shortened for the elects sake or no flesh will be saved. Does this mean God is going to intervene before the 3.5 years of great tribulation ends. Meaning that the great tribulation is not going to last 3.5 years or it could mean that God is going to rapture the Church before the end of the 3.5 years while Gods wrath is poured out on the Anti-Christ and his followers. Whats your take?

Mat 24:21-22 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. (22) And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Ever have a day that just seemed to fly by, not knowing where the day went? I believe this is what is meant. God seemed very specific about the number of days to not mean it.

Yeah I have heard that before, but I don't think he was speaking in terms of imagination. It says that God will have to cut the time short before all flesh is destroyed. It sounds more literal then imaginary. I don't know how making the time seem shorter in the mind saves lives. I know on days that seem to fly by are the days I got the most done and the days I did nothing kind of creeped by. I would have to assume Jesus is not speaking figuratively. lol

Think about it a little more. Is it imagination when time seems to fly by or is reality that we have been so busy to not realize the time? When God says 1,260 days, being specific with the number, I believe Him. I do believe there is another meaning beside the number of days.

Yeah I don't know right now. I have a hard time believing he is referring to some figmentational short time. There has to be a better explanation.

It could mean that somewhere in the midst of those 3.5 years God intervenes...possibly raptures the church while the world continues in total annihilation. Maybe this happens just prior to the Wrath of God in which believers are not sujected to. So cutting the time short for the elect sake but not for the world.

could be 1260 days, BUT each day is shorter, the world spinning just slightly faster. not out of the realm of possibility.

I think it sounds more like God is going to intervene in the later part of the tribulation on behalf of believers and say enough is enough I am getting my people out of there.

Mat 24:21-22 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. (22) And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Revelation says that after the last of the seven trumpets the bowls of wrath begin. The scriptures also say that we will be taken at the last trumpet. So taken into the clouds to meet with our Lord and then the wrath begins below. Believers are not subject to the wrath of God.

Could it mean the days that an extreme threat is occurring will be cut short.ie.God will subdue the aggressors before everyone is killed.Sounds like global destruction is possible if God does not intervene.( no flesh be saved )

Makes the most sense.

Couldn't it be that Jesus is simply reassuring the true believers that as bad as it gets, all is not lost? In the end, He will be there to lead them to safety?

Cutting the days short could simply be another way of saying, "I'm putting an end to the tribulation".

If you'll notice verse 22 states that "no flesh would be saved". That would seem to indicate the days are shortened for everyone.

(22) And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
