"And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen." (Mt.24:20-22).
"Rebellion is at its work already, but in secret, and the one who is holding it back has first to be removed before the Rebel can appear openly." 2 Thes.2:5-7
