Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 See, I have told you beforehand.
Jesus warned us of a great tribulation. This warning is to prepare us for a major shift around the world so that we would not be caught unprepared. There will be many of those who read these words and fear will rise up. However, the elect have been prepared for this time by fully embracing FATHER’S Love and HIS Divine Intent to restore mankind.
More often than not people need a crisis in order to be willing to change. Only then do they realize their view of life is wrong. It has been said that there are no atheists in foxholes during a war. When you are faced with mortality, you are willing to accept GOD.
Jesus reveals that the elect will be among those who experience this event. They will not be swept away by angels but instead will be the guiding lights to a world in utter darkness. They will not be moved by the signs and wonders of deception designed to keep the masses in check. They will be the standards by which all men will know the one and only path available to them- through Jesus Christ.
Because of the elect, the days will be shortened and people will be able to endure the tribulation. We can see the importance of the elect during this time of tribulation. Is your focus to simply survive the tribulation or to be a solution for those who will be living in great fear? Our focus must be to continue in a more intimate relationship with FATHER and fully embrace HIS Love. As we do, we will be counted among the elect who will serve during this tumultuous time. When will this time occur? I don’t know but it is important to keep our focus on being fully mature so that whatever happens we are ready to serve mankind. Some may say that the great tribulation has already occurred. It still doesn’t change the focus of the elect.
