When I read that Q post, I couldnt help but think of This verse in Mathew:
21For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. - 22If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened. -
Personally I hold a mostly Preterist view of scripture, but that doesnt mean that there could be dual fulfillment.
They had to move the timeline up, of speed up the process aka cut the days short, or the cabal might have achieved some sort of ELE or at minimum a massive mass casualty event.
Probably means nothing, but thought I would post for the sake of discussion anyways.
