The words of Jesus recorded at Matthew 24 v 22
"In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short".
I think this scripture is interesting in many ways. Firstly it shows the importance of the Chosen Ones to God and Christ. So should those Chosen Ones not be important to all true Christians ?
Secondly, does this not wipe out any reason for looking at dates or times ? A certain person quite new to this forum, or maybe just an AKA, seems to think he/she knows the exact year of Armageddon. But of what use would it be of knowing, when this scripture says "those days will be cut short" ? Surely God or Christ will assess the situation as time passes.
But the main point here is that God and/or Christ will act on behalf of the Chosen Ones.
