Matthew 24:22

Those days] i.e. of the siege of Jerusalem, which occupied less than five months. No flesh] i.e. no inhabitants of the theatre of war, Palestine. Be saved] i.e. be left alive. The elect] i.e. the Christians.

23-26. Chrysostom and others, translating then 'afterwards' (which it may mean), refer these vv. to the Last Judgment, but it is better to suppose that the fall of Jerusalem is still spoken of.
