The Book of Mark
(Chapter 7 verses 20-23)
"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
The Book of Mark
(Chapter 10 verse 25)
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
The Book of Mark
(Chapter 13 verse 20)
"And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days."
(Author's Opinion: The statement above by Jesus makes it clear that because Jesus loves the elect (believers in Jesus) he will make the great tribulation period shorter. The statement above by Jesus is yet another point made that points towards a post tribulation rapture of believers.)
