"The days being shortened" meaning, at first seemed like a no-brainer, and I assumed that God shortened the days so that Satan could not take away the salvation of his saints.
We must remember that God does things perfectly and cannot be thwarted by Satan. God uses Satan as an agent in his salvation plan.
Now God's ways are past finding out and oftentimes God gives us just enough information to keep us within his will. God told Daniel in Daniel 12 who complained that he did not understand, to go his way until the end of time.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
In a similar manner, we must have patience and God eventually will bring everything into full focus. Do not listen to man, only wait upon God.
I think Abraham listened to his wife Sarah whose patience ran out and thus Abraham had a child who he thought would replace the promised one. (That is called trying to help out God) God does not need our help as he does everything perfectly. 25 years might have seemed like a long time to wait but to God his appointed times are perfect. They happen in the fullness of time and not one second earlier or later.
So, concerning "cutting the days short" means exactly what it says.
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.
The word "flesh" means having breath in itself. That is every beast, bird, creeping thing, man etc.
So the verse above is not talking about soul-saving but rather physical or body saving. Two completely opposite things. (This is what it means by being blind, interpreting the bible in a contradictory manner)
I am not sure i want to explain anymore. This is going to cause an upheaval as I will be going against the grain as most people believe in Israel as a nation, their so-called resurrection in the last days (with the rebuilding of Jerusalem etc).
But for those who believe that the next coming of the Lord is the final coming and not an earthly one, I will say this.
This shortening of the days was all about saving you in today's end-time for your name was written in the lamb's book of life. In other words you are a remnant of the 1st Century's great tribulation. God made sure that a remnant flesh was left so that his future elect saints, 2000 years later would be able to come into his kingdom.
I won't say anything else except that I am not a bible teacher and was not sent by God to teach anything but only to be a light to God's salvation. I have gone overboard and I am sure that I have confused most. Therefore each man will have to do the hard and difficult work to put everything together for himself.
Seek and ye shall find.
