Matthew 24:22

MATTHEW—NOTE ON Matthew 24:22 if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. Some suggest this means that, if God’s wrath against sin were to continue unchecked, no one would survive the destruction. Others see a reference to a cutting short of either the seventieth “seven” (week) of Daniel 9:27 or the 42 months of Revelation 11:2. The elect includes all those who follow Christ during this predicted time of suffering (see Matthew 24:24, Matthew 24:31).
