Jesus said if He didn't shorten the days no flesh would be saved; why and when will this happen?

Matthew 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

Mark 13:20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

Beautiful isn't it from God's perspective

I wonder if we'll see it from this perspective when we are home with Him? We'll find out sooner than most people think.

Days defined: according to Strong's in addition to a 24 hour day the word could also refer to an age or period of time such as the Great Tribulation. It's use would generally be clarified in the context of Scripture where used.

When will the days be shortened? During the Great Tribulation period of three and one half years. (Matthew 24:15-22)

How will we know for sure when the great tribulation starts? 

1. When you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place
2. Those in Judea will flee suddenly to the mountains taking nothing with them

The Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

This departure will have to be done quickly and at a moments notice, taking nothing personal because time to escape will be extremely limited.

Why will He shorten the days? They will be shortened for the elect's sake. Conditions will be unimaginably worse than anything ever seen before or after.

Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

How close are we to the great tribulation? I don't have the answer and I'm not a date setter but I believe it will be soon based on what I see going on around us. How much worse can it get? 

If God was inclined to leave us to survive whats coming through our own resources I would have to say failure is eminent based on the result of mans management of our planet and resources. 

The following 4 areas of human accomplishment may come as a shock to many; for the nonbeliever the future is lost to life ending hopelessness. 

Here's why: Caution the following links from secular sources contain graphics. 

• Nuclear power with or without the bombs, oil spills, genetically modified food, and chemtrails:  Fukushima was and Is an ongoing Extinction Level Event. One third of the worlds water, the Pacific Ocean, will no longer support life. Everything on the planet and in the atmosphere has been nuked by Fukushima. (Read more) Folks this linked article was published 3 years ago and we are now 5 years into this life ending process!

1. Flying through nuclear fallout is killing people and compromising aircraft structural integrity. (Learn More - 2016 Fukushima Kill List and the Wigner Effect), Fukushima Kill List Alarm Bells
2. Genocide In the Gulf: Expected Lifespan of Children Reduced by 25%-Evacuate Now! 
3. USDA announces it will stop regulating all GMO crops altered with CRISPR gene editing technique... Frankenfood tidal wave about to be unleashed!
4. Climate engineering - we are being sprayed globally like insects. 

Seriously when you consider what is going on around us how long do you think we have? 

How can you avoid all of these serious life ending health threats? 

For those who believe we have a hiding place in Jesus and because of that we have hope in our future with Him! See Psalms 91 and 27

My Bible, the Living Word, (NKJV/KJV) tells me:

• Following the great tribulation and God's wrath we'll have a thousand years with Christ and the Earth will be restored from the current damage ... Believers have much to look forward too! We were born for such a time as this in line with God's plan for our lives.

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.                       

All Things Made New

Revelation 21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Have you noticed how many people have no idea what is going on around them? When you mention something like Fukushima or chemtrails many have no idea what you are talking about. Satan uses distractions such as the current election process so you won't notice things you should be praying about.

Others have asked me how I can follow such awful events and their impact and be joyful and excited about the future at the same time?

My answer is simple. My focus is on Christ and His soon return. What the world does is of no consequence because we are not of this world, but He did tell me to watch and pray. 

1 Peter 4:7 [ Serving for God’s Glory ] But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

If you aren't watching these events and how they might affect you and your loved ones your odds of escaping these events might drop to zero because you won't be praying about them and their impact on your family. He said watch therefore, and pray always!

1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

Did you catch that? ("Therefore if you will not watch") Don't allow yourself to be distracted by world events, don't be like Lot's wife, and don't miss the greatest event of all end time days!

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
