Zechariah 13:8-9

8In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
aand one third shall be left alive.
9And bI will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
cThey will call upon my name,
and dI will answer them.
eI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Matthew 24:22

22And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for fthe sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
