Perhaps overlooked, but I would like to repeat my questions:
"for the sake of the elect 'those days' will be shortened".
Q: Which days are in your opinion meant with the description 'those days'?
"for the sake of the elect those days will be 'shortened'.
Q: what is your understanding of the description 'shortened'? (Sadly a wrong translation of the real meaning of the Greek text)
Which days were meant by Jesus?
And why did He say that those days are 'shortened' (in God His plan)?
Again: 'shortened' is a poor translation and does not represent what is meant in the Greek text.
And about praying for 'shortening' those days (it concerns a particular time period):
Can we pray Daniels 70th week will not come?
I don't think so.
In the same way we cannot pray for 'shortening' those days.
Jesus already has said that those days will be 'shortened'.
But first it is important to get clear what Jesus was preaching about when He mentioned 'those days' and that they will be 'shortened'.
There are more wrong translated words in scripture to find and sometimes whole doctrines are based on them.
And it cost me a lot of effort to convince fellow Christians that sometimes the Bible teaches different than the translation shows us.
Shalom!
Cees.
