Matthew 24:22-24 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened. ²³ At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. ²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
