Except those days be shortend. If the seven years(one week) has been shortened how shortned is it? Does the bible tell us?Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 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.

I think it means, if Christ doesn't come when he comes, man would destroy himselfI would think it means, Christ second coming is not just to judge the world, but to save the world, never thought about that before, how cool is that

It is still the last week, if it were longer then one week, man would destroy himselfIn other words, man doesn't end this conflict Christ does. If Christ doesn't intervene, man would kill himself off. Christ comes at the end of the last week, at the end of the seventh week he comesTo me it means, if Christ doesn't shorten this last war, man would kill himself off. He stops it from going into another week. He doesn't shorten the last seven years. He shortens mans time on earth or to put it another way, he shortens this age

It says that if God didnt shorten the time even the elect would be fooled Mark 13:22... Not that they would kill them selves...

I think he was refering to mankind destroying ourselfs to point that no flesh would be left. Not disagreeing that it was for the elects sake that it was shortened

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. but for how long will he decieve?Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 9:10They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 9:11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.[a] When reading this verse notice that those without the seal of God on thier forheads are tormented five months there torment is as that of a scorpionwell how does a scorpion kill? It kills from the inside out it literally paralizes it victum with neurotoxins and The scorpion stings it's prey, and the scorpion's poison is injected inside the victim, dissolving the body (and backbone?).The analogy is that the poison of Rev 9:10 is their WORDS! If we let their WORDS inside us it will have the same effect as a scorpion stinging another insect.And how do we know God wants us to look at scorpions /nature to get a cluePro 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:Our Father tells us to go to nature, His creation, to consider the behaviour of things He wants us to know aboutIn this fantastic age we live in, with knowledge at our fingertips, we should be the wisest generation He has ever had...How many times in scripture are we told to look at nature to gain further understaning.Whether it be trees,the grape vine,olive tree,locust,fish ext.
