Then let them who are in Judea flee into the mountains:
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:16 Go To Matthew 24
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Then let those. It is well known that this prophecy was verified to the letter, in the destruction of Jerusalem. For, as the Roman army advanced, all the Christians who were in the province, forewarned by divine admonition, retired to a distance, and crossing the Jordan, took refuge in the city of Pella, situated in Trachonitis, and became subjects of king Agrippa, who was in amity with the Romans. (St. Remigius)
