Mark 13:15

13 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14 So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
