Mark 13:20, 22, 27

And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
