SUMMARY CONCLUSION:

On the spiritual side, the Bible appears to be associating the shortening of the days to judgment on the church taking place AFTER the tribulation. Those days were described as a young man rejoicing in his days of youth. Which spiritually pointing to the Church who rejoiced at the killing of the body of Christ in tribulation. Those days began with the Elect enduring tribulation and transitioned to the total devastation of the old body at the revelation of Christ.
