Luke 21:21: "Then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing to the mountains. And let the (ones) in (the) midst (of) her be-going-out. And let the (ones) in the fields not be-entering into her."

Revelation 18:4: "And I-heard another voice from heaven, saying “Come out-of her, my people, so-that you-will not participate (in) her sins, and so-that you-will not receive of her plagues,"



Matthew 24:7: "For nation will-arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there-will-be FAMINES and earthquakes in various-places."

Revelation 18:8: "for this-reason her plagues will-come in one day — death and mourning and FAMINE — and she-will-be-burned-up with fire, because (the) Lord God, the (One) having-judged her, (is) strong."

(The Greek word for "FAMINES" (limos 3042 in Greek) only appears 1 time in Matthew, and that 1 time is found in Matthew 24:7).



Matthew 24:38: "For as in those days before the flood they-were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark,"

Matthew 24:39: "and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also will-be the coming (of) the Son (of) Man."

A similar account in Luke reads: 

Luke 17:26: "“And as it-happened in the days (of) Noah, so it-will-be also in the days (of) the Son (of) Man —"

Luke 17:27: "they-were-eating, drinking, marrying, being-given-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone."

Matthew 24:15: "“Therefore when you-see the abomination (of) desolation — the (thing) having-been-spoken through Daniel the prophet — having-stood in (the) holy place (let the (one) reading understand),"

Matthew 24:16: "then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing to the mountains."

The parallel account in Luke reads: Luke 21:20: "“But when you-see Jerusalem being-surrounded by army-encampments, then recognize that her desolation (erēmōsis 2050 in Greek) has-drawn-near."

Luke 21:21: "Then let the (ones) in Judea be-fleeing to the mountains. And let the (ones) in (the) midst (of) her be-going-out. And let the (ones) in the fields not be-entering into her."

(The Greek word for "desolation" (erémósis 2050 in Greek, noun) used in Luke 21:20 comes from the Greek word for "she-was-desolated" (erémoó 2049 in Greek, verb) used in Revelation 18:19).
