When must those in Judea flee to the mountain?

Matthew 24:16 (ESV)

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

The reference to Judea suggests that the coming abomination that causes desolation is tied to events which will take place in and around Jerusalem. When these events happen, believers must leave the cities and towns to seek refuge in the mountains. The mountains had many crevices and caves where it would be possible to hide and shelter.1
