Matthew 24:15 - The Abomination of Desolation
So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination of desolation,' described by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),

Matthew 24:16 - The Abomination of Desolation
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Daniel wrote about the abomination that causes desolation,but it was Christ who showed me when in Daniel it is placed in Jerusalem. Christ taught me in the gospel that when the abomination of desolation is placed, that"AT THAT TIME"there will be great distress, the likes of which has never been seen.
So I noticed that Christ was actually quoting the book of Daniel here.
This would mean that at the time the abomination of desolation is placed in Jerusalem, Daniels people will be delivered, everyone found written and many who sleep in the dust shall awake. Now if I'm not mistaken, that would be on the day of the Lord.
But Daniel never said anything about the people in Judea fleeing for the mountains.
Jesus quoted the book of Zechariah when stating those in Judea would flee at that time.
Zechariah 14:4 - The Destroyers of Jerusalem Destroyed
On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half the mountain moving to the north and half to the south.

Zechariah 14:5 - The Destroyers of Jerusalem Destroyed
You will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with Him.

So we find that not only is the abomination that causes desolation placed in Judea on the day of the Lord, but also those in Judea shall flee to the mountains on the day the Lord stands on the Mt of olives.
And what do those who flee to the mountains do on the day of the Lord?
They hide underground in the dens and caves.
Revelation 6:15 - The Sixth Seal: Terror
Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

Revelation 6:16 - The Sixth Seal: Terror
And they said to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.

Jesus explains so much in just one or two words borrowed from this verse or that. You just have to pay real close attention to every word he says and where he used them from.
