14 And this agospel of the kingdom bwill be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.  

The Great Tribulation

15 a“Therefore when you see the b‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” c(whoever reads, let him understand),  
16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
19 But awoe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!  
20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

Matthew 24:16

Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains - So the Christians did, and were preserved. It is remarkable that after the Romans under Cestus Gallus made their first advances toward Jerusalem, they suddenly withdrew again, in a most unexpected and indeed impolitic manner. This the Christians took as a signal to retire, which they did, some to Pella, and others to Mount Libanus.
