"PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT MAY NOT BE IN THE WINTER"........
Jesus told the Jews to pray that their flight away from the abomination of desolation , ie. the Gog-Magog War, would NOT BE IN THE WINTER . Jesus would NEVER tell the Jewish people to pray for something that He would not deliver on. Therefore their flight WILL NOT BE IN THE WINTER, but rather IN THE SPRING SEASON. The LAST DAY OF WINTER is the Vernal Equinox, each year, which falls on March 20th , and is also THE FIRST DAY OF THE SPRING SEASON according to ;
Matthew 24:20 ( Jesus speaking )
"Pray ye that your flight be NOT IN THE WINTER , neither on the Sabbath Day."
Therefore, the flight of the Jews, away from the ravages of the Gog-Magog War WILL HAPPEN IN THE FIRST MONTH OF THE SPRING SEASON WHICH IS NISAN / APRIL.
This correlates perfectly with what Jesus said about the SEASON AND MONTH in which the resurrection & rapture of His Elect Body of Christ Church will happen according to :
John 4:34-36 ( Jesus speaking )
"Say not ye, There are yet four months ( May, June, July, August ) , and then comes the harvest ( in September ) ? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on the ( Barley ) fields , FOR THEY ARE WHITE ALREADY TO HARVEST ( in the first Spring season month of Nisan / April ). And He ( Jesus ) that reaps receives wages , and GATHERS FRUIT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL..( resurrects & raptures His Elect Body of Christ Church to eternal life )."
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT :
We have been fully informed as to "THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS" of the year in which "THE DAY OF THE LORD" will begin. Therefore we "ARE NOT IN DARKNESS" as others are who are not informed, and will be "OVERTAKEN AS A THIEF" according to :
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
"But of THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you ( because you have been previously fully informed ) . For yourselves KNOW PERFECTLY that THE DAY OF THE LORD so comes as a thief in the night. For WHEN THEY SHALL SAY PEACE AND SAFETY , THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION ( The Gog-Magog War ) COMES UPON THEM ( Israel ) , and they shall not escape. BUT YOU , BRETHREN , ARE NOT IN DARKNESS so THAT DAY ( The Day of the Lord ) should not overtake you as a thief."
WE ARE NOT IN DARKNESS BECAUSE we have been told that the resurrectio & rapture of His Elect Church ( Matthew 24:29-31 ) will occur in the FIRST SPRING MONTH OF NISAN / APRIL .
According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus!
