You don’t suppose that maybe God would shorten those days to save those He intends to survive the Trib?
By shortening, I mean, cut the daylight hours in half or causing a polar shift to do the same result?
Luke 17:26-30 suggests business as usual until a violent entry by Christ to stir up destruction. The Tribulation, all of it, will be anything but business as usual.
Futhermore, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 suggests a time of normal “peace” followed by a sudden destruction again (this same destruction and event has to be the Rapture).
Imagine all of a sudden 100 million people worldwide vanishing in the blink of an eye without a trace? What would that do to the economy? Travel? Governments? Military?
Some are of the opinion that before that must happen though, a few wars must be played out. Specifically, Psalm 83, in which a coalition of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and Palestinians are totally demolished in a nuclear war with Israel resulting in Isaiah 17.
This war must precede the Ezekiel 38 War. A sneak attack by Russia, Iran (what’s left of it following Psalm 83), Libya, Sudan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan possibly. God literally destroys this invading force before they can even lay a finger on Israel. Russia is obliterated by nukes following this war.
I’m of the opinion the Rapture happens pre Ezekiel 38, others believe it’s post Ezekiel 38. Either way, we’re living in these end times right now!

Nope!
He told us how he would shorten them; why shouldn’t we just believe what he said?
