Mark 13:14
Compare all
12 Now abrother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.  
13 aAnd you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But bhe who endures to the end shall be saved.  

The Great Tribulation

14 a“So when you see the b‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then clet those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.  
15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.
16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.
17 aBut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!  
18 And pray that your flight may not be in winter.
19 aFor in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.  
20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

Mark 13:14

But when ye shall see—"Jerusalem compassed by armies"—by encamped armies; in other words, when ye shall see it besieged, and

the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not—that is, as explained in Matthew (Matthew 24:15), "standing in the holy place."

(let him that readeth understand)—readeth that prophecy. That "the abomination of desolation" here alluded to was intended to point to the Roman ensigns, as the symbols of an idolatrous, and so unclean pagan power, may be gathered by comparing what Luke says in the corresponding verse (Luke 21:20); and commentators are agreed on it. It is worthy of notice, as confirming this interpretation, that in 1 Maccabees 1:54—which, though aprocryphal Scripture, is authentic history—the expression of Daniel (Daniel 11:31; Daniel 12:11) is applied to the idolatrous profanation of the Jewish altar by Antiochus Epiphanes.

then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains—The ecclesiastical historian, EUSEBIUS, early in the fourth century, tells us that the Christians fled to Pella, at the northern extremity of Perea, being "prophetically directed"—perhaps by some prophetic intimation more explicit than this, which would be their chart—and that thus they escaped the predicted calamities by which the nation was overwhelmed.
