Matthew 24:22 , does this mean everyone would be dead?

Question

Matthew 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.

OR

does this mean that all of the saints would be killed, or does it mean
after a time no one will be willing to be born again so the church would in effect die off from lack of following...

Answer 1

It means at the end of the War of Armageddon, if Jesus weren't to come back and intervene at the point he does, man would totally wipe themselves off the face of the earth.

Answer 2

Taken in context, it probably means that everyone would be destroyed by the tribulations.

The "elect" are those who still enjoy God's grace, so this is a divine repreive from the wrath of God, for the sake if those who remain, and are faithful to him.

Answer 3

It meant the coming fall of Jerusalem under the Romans would be so vicious that no disciple would be left alive if God had not had mercy.
That in turn is a metaphor for the end of the ages.

Answer 4

The more populated the world becomes the more sin abounds. There will be less and less people willing to be saved because they are so wrapped up in their sins!
Come Lord Jesus Come back soon!

Answer 5

It means that if the righteous people did not exist or there were no righteous people, we would be in for one hell of a long ride. Bless the righteous!!!

Answer 6

even with explaination..no one would understand..so why bother.

Anyway..Shorten the days given to Anti-christ to rule...

Matt..24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand (5756) in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
