Contextual Overview

14"Be ready to hightail it for the hills when you see the Antichrist at the altar of the church. 15When you see that, you don't even stop to put something in your saddlebags, you just jump on and go. 16If you are gathering cattle and see it, don't go back for a change of clothes, just whip and spur out of there! 17It'll be a real bad time for those who are nursing children. 18Just pray that this hard time don't come in the winter when times are at their hardest. 19I'm telling y'all, these times will be harder than any other time in history. 20In fact, the times will be so hard that unless God intervenes, and he will, not a single follower of mine would survive. But for the sake of those who ride for me, God will step in and help. 21"So if you see anyone who says, 'Look! There is Jesus,' or another says, 'I heard Jesus came back,' don't believe them. 22There will be many counterfeits who will come and do things that will amaze people. Some who ride for me will be deceived, too. 23So y'all better watch out. I'm giving you a heads up about these things ahead of time.

And pray ye that your flight be not in winter. When days are short, roads bad, the weather inclement; and when to lodge in mountains, is very incommodious, and uncomfortable. The Persic version adds, "neither on the sabbath day"; :-.
