"THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED"

PETER B. BIGGINS

In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew we find a striking record of a thought-provoking issue as it was presented by Jesus. He had been speaking to his disciples of the approaching destruction of the temple, and they had asked him, very naturally, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of tin coming, and of the end of the world?"

In reply, the Master made clear that there would be upheavals in material sense as divine Truth brought evil to the surface and destroyed it. He assured his disciples, however, that "he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." He said, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations" and made clear that "then shall the end come."
