Dear Doves,This is the apostle Paul speaking;2 Timothy 1:11"...to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher OF THE GENTILES." and.........2 Timothy 2:10"Therefore, I endure all things FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory." so..........Matthew 24:22"And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the SAKE OF THE ELECT those days will be shortened."The "elect" of (2 Timothy 2:10) are the very same Gentile and Jew ELECT as the "elect" of (Matthew 24:22).According to Your Word Only, come Lord Jesus!Bruce Warner
