51And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

61And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Coincidence?
. I truly wonder how many - lost and saved today - fully comprehend the full magnitude, weight and depth of this exponential super abounding time called the Great Tribulation
Clearly the author of this article doesn't comprehend the passage at all and knows nothing of the Great Tribulation that took place in Judea around 70AD.
The author assumes many things that are in direct conflict with the text. For example, taking the passage that the author butchered by chopping off the last phrase of the sentence "but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.". There is a very good reason why the writer chopped off that phrase - because it refutes the wild claims of the writer. Who is the "elect" and why would the "elect" be on Earth during the Futurist's imaginative "Great Tribulation"? Aren't the "elect" enjoying a seven year party and rave in Heaven?
Then there are other clues to the fact that the author replaced the elect physical and spiritual children of Abraham with "the whole world" in the context to who was being warned. Our LORD said "take heed that no one deceives you" where the most natural context would be the people who He was talking to, not a generation of reprobates who already "rejected Christ" and are passed over and "left behind" from an alleged "rapture" thousands of years later.
Then there is the phrase "those who are in Judea flee to the mountains". Why is it that the Futurists who replace "Israel" with "the whole world" always delete this passage? Because it puts the scope of the warning to the people actually living in Judea who could escape the tribulation by "fleeing to the [nearby] mountains"
"Pray that you flight may not be in the winter..." Doesn't the author know that while one hemisphere enjoys a summer, the other is in the midst of a winter? Would Jesus, the Creator of Heaven and Earth forget this detail, or is it possible the scope of the warning was to those living in Judea?
"...or on the Sabbath" How is it that the Replacementarian Futurist misses this phrase? What religion actually observes the Law on the Sabbath regarding travel? Back in the first century, the people to who Jesus was speaking to, on the Sabbath not only kept indoors, but the gates of all the cities and towns were kept shut and barred. This statement would only make sense to the people of Judea up until 70AD, not to six billion plus people wandering around the Earth in the twenty-first century.
"Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house." How relevant is that warning to anyone today? But it was a helpful survival tip to those in Judea during the first century.
So the context is clearly of Judea in the first century. Flavius Josephus, Jewish Historian records in War of the Jews, book 5 chapter 10 the horror of women and children who perished by the famine, taking food from the mouths of their own children. In Book 6 chapter 3, we read of Mary, daughter of Eliezar who killed, boiled and half eaten her own suckling child until discovered. How do you think those historical facts correspond to the warning "And woe to unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days." (v19).
Never mind the lunacy of suggesting that a future generation of people who have rejected Christ are now going to escape the Tribulation by hiding in the hills of Judea - these warnings were given to the disciples and those of faith who were still in Jerusalem at the time the Roman armies encircled the city and began the siege.
The evidence is overwhelming that the author is either clueless or is deliberately reckless and deceiving concerning the Scriptures and through the vehicle of lies perversely thinks that people can be scared into the Kingdom.
I'm assuming that the author has given up on the Gospel and is now using terrorism to "win souls for Christ". I guess if you don't know the Gospel then you can't really use it to further the kingdom. Go with what you know - self-absorbtion and fear.

Weird, I’d always thought of that song as warning of the seductive power of evil.
