: If they had interpreted their situation as the need to simply "trust in Jehovah" without the need to flee physically they would not have come under Jehovah's Protection. They would have died in Jerusalem.
However, they did still
eventually die. And very many Jews who also fled were still attacked and killed. Jesus' words about gathering the elect didn't come about. Therefore, any and all such applications of prophecy, while some having more merit than others,
still end up short of certainty and the literal/spiritual fulfillments up for grabs.
