Scripture Post # 197: *EXTREME DAYS*

Matthew 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."

Note: Jesus was talking to His disciples here. 

This Scripture says a lot! It's saying, that the last days will be so extremely hard and bad, that you won't be able to endure them unless they're shortened! It's like the story of John Henry: he pushed his body beyond it's limit and he died. (His body had to shut down at some point. He couldn't carry on like that forever. Suppose he endured a *shorter* period of time he would've lived.) The body can only take but so much. You can literally push yourself to death. You can drink too much water and die. There are real cases where people have died due to drinking too much water (Fraternities: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5012154)! I say all this to say: *we have limits here on earth*. The only limitless one is GOD ALMIGHTY! In the last days, extreme hardship will come upon people; and 24 hours of it will overtake them. Human beings living in the last days will not be able to take 24 hours of extreme hardship. It's not humanly possible for man to endure that. The only way for man to survive the extreme hardship that's coming, is if the days were shortened. (Your chances of surviving 19 hours of torture are far greater than 24!) Do you feel me? You get what I mean? That's what this Scripture means! Read it again:  "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." For GOD to save HIS people (the elect) HE'll have to shorten the days for them; that's how bad it's gonna get!
