Matthew 19:25

But when the disciples heard this, they were completely astounded and said, "Then who can be saved?"

If those days had not been cut short, nobody would have escaped, but for the sake of God's people those days will be cut short.

If the Lord had not cut those days short, nobody would have escaped, but for the sake of his own chosen people he has cut the days short.

And someone said to him, "Are only a few to be saved, Master?" He said to them,

For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

So too at the present time there is a remnant selected by God's mercy.
