Matthew 24:16, 20
Matthew 24:16: “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:”
Notice the reference to those who are in Judaea. This is another tip that this chapter is aimed at Israel, not at the Church in general.
Matthew 24:20: “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:”
Why? Because Israel follows the Sabbath laws and traditions, and on the Sabbath public transportation is halted and people are only allowed to take so many steps. If this abomination takes place on the Sabbath then the Jews will be unable to flee, and a great many of them will die.
