"So when you see the 'abomination of desolation', spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! AND PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT MAY NOT BE IN WINTER. For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 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. Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it. For false Christ and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand."
Those who have experienced Winter know it is the coldest time of the year; the sun is at a farther distance relative to Summer, Spring and Autumn. The time of the 'abomination of desolation' in Israel will be the coldest of times, spiritually. Jesus was teaching Israel, even at that time, to begin to pray then, now and continually so that their flight may not be in this coldest of spiritual times. It will be a more, even very difficult time to receive, as Satan's manifestation on earth during the times of greater tribulation will be increased. The timing of YOUR FLIGHT should be when He comes to receive the precious fruit of the earth: those who have become fellow servants and are among the brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Pray so that your flight is when the Sun of Righteousness (Malachi 4:2) is at full strength!
