Steve's post got me thinking about an old question I had. In regards to Rev. 21:8, how do we interpret that? Is that any liar or an unrepentant liar? (Someone once told me "liars" included anyone who had an unconfessed lie and gave the example of parents who told their children about Santa Clause...in other words they would go to hell unless they repented of lying to their children) Also, what does John mean by cowardly? Are these individuals who shrank back from their profession in fear . . .

And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. (Mat 24:22)
Do you guys think this means the number of days are cut short or the length of a day, like from 24 hours to 16?

JP Rasmussen I have always understood it to mean the entire duration, not the length of sun-up/sun-down.

you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
