Matthew 24:20 Meaning

Sign 5. It should be great mercy if such as got occasion to fly, might so fly as they might rest in a foul day (when the unseasonableness of the weather might make the flight more grievous) and might rest on the Sabbath, when to be forced to go a long journey for fear of their life might augment their grief (v 20).
