Luke 21:34-36 And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come
on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

What does verse 35 say? The Day of Wrath will come upon everyone.
Verse 34 says we must be careful, or that Day will catch us unawares.
Therefore; if we do carefully study and are aware of the signs, we can know
that Day, or at least the season.
But, either way, that Day will come and we will be here to experience it.
Verse 35 says ‘escape all these things’. This cannot mean a removal away from,
as that is a direct contradiction of the previous 2 verses.
What it does mean, is told to us in many prophesies, of the Lord’s protection
during that terrible Day. Isaiah 43:2, Psalms 23 & 91,
Isaiah 30:26b,
