QUES. 4.-"For the elects' sake, the days are shortened" (Matt. 24:22); is it the number of days that are shortened? Will the same 1260 days be carried out after Antichrist breaks his covenant with the Jews?

ANS.-The number of days remains the same, 1260; otherwise the prophecy would not be fulfilled. But God prevents things running on as it would seem they must do. He interposes. Christ comes and delivers when Israel is in the midst of the trouble, and it is stopped with a strong hand. It is after all only for a short time,-" made short" by divine love and pity. F. W. G.
