The Christians Fled to Pella

Here are the words of Jesus warning His followers of a time when they would need to flee:

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains… For then there will be great tribulation…” (Matthew 24:15-16, 21).

“But 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… For in those days there will be tribulation…” (Mark 13:14, 19).

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her… For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people” (Luke 21:20-21, 23).

You are confusing two questions and answers by Christ.

(Matt. 24:3) "when shall these things be?" This concerns the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. in light of Christ's statement in (24:2). This is answered, not in (Matthew), but in (Luke 21:12-24).

(Matt. 24:3) "what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world." This concerns the Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ. It is answered in (Matt. 24:4-44)
