AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 24:20 "Pray that your flight [from persecution and suffering] will not be in winter, or on a Sabbath [when Jewish laws prohibit travel]. |
Bible Question: But pray that your flight will not be in thewinter or on the sabbath What does this mean? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Betjburgess and welcome to the forum, Exodus 31:14 says that the Isrealites must keep the Sabbath and if they defiled it and did any work they would surely be put to death. On the Sabbath anything was considered work including traveling. A person was not even allowed to start a fire in their house (Ex 35:3). In addition the gates to the city where locked. A person would of therefore been unable to flee the city when they saw the abomination of desolation. Fleeing in the winter is pretty much self explanatory. It would of been very cold. Hope this helps your understanding. prayon |
