“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened: (Matt. 24:21-22).
The “Work” which God did through His end-time “Elijah,” Herbert W. Armstrong, was a very powerful and very important work, the influence of which brought about the true conversion of thousands, including some of us. Perhaps, the numbers have dwindled over the past three decades, but God said He would spare wicked Sodom and Gomorrah if only “ten righteous” people were found. Likewise, if God had not sent someone (the end-time “Elijah”) to cause many to repent and become “righteous” in God’s eyes—so that the terrible days of Great Tribulation were shortened—then “no flesh would be saved”!
How thankful to God should we, His people, be—knowing that in His mercy He did send a “great” end-time servant to be a “bright and shining light,” by which those who heeded his message could find their way “out of darkness into the marvelous light of God” (1 Pet. 2:9)!
