Mark 13:20, 22, 27

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
