Bible Question: but pray ye that your flight be not in the winter,neither on the sabbath day |
Bible Answer: Winter travel is very difficult with the cold and snow. Sabbath travel was forbidden to the Jews. Jesus is talking about the coming tribulation and told his audience that will be a hard time. They will have to flee to survive. To emphasize how awful a time it will be Jesus said pray it isn't during a time when travel is particularily difficult. EdB |
