1 | Can you explain 'days will be shortened' | Matt 24:22 | John Pilgrim | 114739 | ||
The "Elect" are the spiritual seed of Abraham. "Days shortend", in my opinion, means that God reduced the number of days and not the lenghth of each day. Election of Grace - The Scripture speaks (1) of the election of individuals to office or to honour and privilege, e.g., Abraham, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon, were all chosen by God for the positions they held; so also were the apostles. (2) There is also an election of nations to special privileges, e.g., the Hebrews (Deut. 7:6; Rom. 9:4). (3) But in addition there is an election of individuals to eternal life (2 Thess. 2:13; Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet. 1:2; John 13:18). The ground of this election to salvation is the good pleasure of God (Eph. 1:5, 11; Matt. 11:25, 26; John 15:16, 19). God claims the right so to do (Rom. 9:16, 21). It is not conditioned on faith or repentance, but is of soverign grace (Rom. 11:4-6; Eph. 1:3-6). All that pertain to salvation, the means (Eph. 2:8; 2 Thess. 2:13) as well as the end, are of God (Acts 5:31; 2 Tim. 2:25; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 2:5, 10). Faith and repentance and all other graces are the exercises of a regenerated soul; and regeneration is God's work, a "new creature." Men are elected "to salvation," "to the adoption of sons," "to be holy and without blame before him in love" (2 Thess. 2:13; Gal. 4:4, 5; Eph. 1:4). The ultimate end of election is the praise of God's grace (Eph. 1:6, 12). John Pilgrim |

2 | but amount of trib days is given in Rev | Matt 24:22 | patlovesthelord | 114859 | ||
Re: "days will be shortened." But the amount of days were defined in Revelation - exactly how many before the 'midst' (abomination) of the trib. and how many after - till the second coming. right? So will the second number of days be changed to a smaller number? Thank you. Pat | ||||||
3 | but amount of trib days is given in Rev | Matt 24:22 | John Pilgrim | 114873 | ||
I'm Sorry, in truth, I don't have an answer to your question. From my theological perspective (amillenial) we are in the tribulation, and have been since the ascention of Jesus into Heaven. The next significant event for which I am looking is the return of Christ as the conquering King. Maranatha, John Pilgrim |
