Matthew 24:22 Context
19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 24:22
Mt 24:22 There should no flesh be saved. If such awful work should continue, it would exterminate the human race. For the elect's sake. On their account, because there is salt to save the earth, and end shall be put to the awful work of death. The "elect" are the believers in Christ (Ro 11:5-7).
The balance of humanity.The fact that you are alive in the third Dimension on this timeline qualifies each of us as the elect. GOD is no respect of persons .Should the evil outweigh the good, the tribulation and sorrows will remain until there is a greater balance of good. The days will be shortened because the the hearts of mankind will be purged through suffering. The day you were born you fell from a higher realm into judgement. We are judging ourselves everyday as a collective .When we Judge others we are really judging ourselves and we can't see the wisdom in that idea.the sins that you can see in others is only there to see the sins in your hearts.when you see evil in others please forgive them and then you will have forgiven yourself, because we are truly one .This is the message of christ. Dont wait for a final judgment ,judge yourself today with the forgiveness of Christ Jesus!...

Note not everyone was dead: Many of the very elect were saved alive to rebuild earth and carry on Gods seed that he planted in everyone on earth but few kept alive within themselves the precious gift of the Holy Spirit which is more valuable than the rarest buried treasure.
