John came to you living a righteous life, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. But even when you saw that, you didn't change your minds at last and believe him."

But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
