To further illustrate the point that Jesus is shortening the length of days to thwart Satan’s plan to
annihilate the Jews, consider these other points of prophecy pertaining to the extreme severity of the
days of the tribulation that will take place by the hand of the Antichrist:

“ALAS! “THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE”
FOR
“FOR THEN THERE WILL BE GREAT TRIBULATION SUCH AS HAS NOT BEEN
THAT DAY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD UNTIL THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER
IS GREAT, SHALL BE. AND UNLESS THOSE DAYS WERE SHORTENED, NO FLESH WOULD
SO THAT BE SAVED; BUT FOR THE ELECT’S SAKE THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED.”

NONE Matt. 24:21-22
IS LIKE IT;
AND IT IS “WOE UNTO THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH AND THE SEA!
THE TIME FOR THE DEVIL HAS COME DOWN TO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH,
OF JACOB’S
TROUBLE, BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS A SHORT TIME.” Rev. 12:12

BUT “…AND THERE SHALL BE A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE
HE SHALL THERE WAS A NATION… IT SHALL BE FOR A TIME, TIMES,
BE SAVED
OUT OF IT” AND HALF A TIME… WHEN THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE

Jer. 30:7 HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SHATTERED…” Dan. 12:1,7

“HE SHALL SPEAK POMPOUS “…HIS POWER SHALL BE MIGHTY,
WORDS AGAINST BUT NOT BY HIS OWN POWER;
THE MOST HIGH, HE SHALL DESTROY FEARFULLY

AND SHALL PERSECUTE AND SHALL PROSPER AND THRIVE;
HE SHALL DESTROY THE MIGHTY,
THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH…”
AND ALSO THE HOLY PEOPLE.”
Dan. 7:25
Dan. 8:24

The Old Testament is permeated with prophecies such as the above. Israel is headed for trouble. The
Scripture calls it, “The time of Jacob’s trouble.” Once the “Abomination of Desolation” is set up in the
Jewish temple by Antichrist and Jesus shortens the length of the days as predicted in Amos and in the
Fourth Trumpet of Revelation, Satan knows he will have great difficulty carrying out his plan of
elimination of the Jews.

How bad will the tribulation (the time of Jacob’s trouble) really be? We all have seen how bad it was for
the Jews under Hitler’s regime.

A memorial inside the Dachau concentration camp
proclaims, “Never Again.” Hitler’s Holocaust took the lives
of ONE THIRD of the Jewish population. However,
Prophecy warns that it will happen again worse than it
happened before. Prophecy states that the tribulation’s
Antichrist will slay TWO THIRDS of the Jewish people:

“AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN ALL THE LAND,
SAYS THE LORD, ‘THAT TWO-THIRDS SHALL BE CUT OFF AND
DIE, BUT ONE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT IN IT; I WILL BRING THE
ONE-THIRD THROUGH THE FIRE, WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER
IS REFINED, AND TEST THEM AS GOLD IS TESTED. THEY WILL
CALL ON MY NAME, AND I WILL ANSWER THEM.’ I WILL SAY,

‘THIS IS MY PEOPLE’; AND EACH ONE WILL SAY,
‘THE LORD IS MY GOD.’ ”

Zech. 13:8-9

I have always viewed those two-thirds of the Jews who are “cut off and die” as perishing outside of
Christ-spiritually lost as perhaps were many Jews in the Holocaust. However, a careful scrutiny of
other passages found in the Book of Revelation paint quite a different picture of this future holocaust.
