No you've got that all wrong.
It is well documented that the Christians DID in fact flee Jerusalem when they saw the armies taking position around the city. There was a several months long lull in the siege when word came to Vespasian that Nero died. Vespasian then siezed the throne. Afterward he ordered his son Titus, along with the 5th, 10th, 12th and 15th Legions to complete this siege.
Rumor has it that not one single solitary Christian died in Jerusalem due to the siege.
BTW.........many Jews also fled before the season began in earnest.

Basically, what Josephus claimed, was the Christians held onto Matthew 24:16-20 and did as Christ had prophesied.
But that also means, had the Christians not followed Matthew 24:16-20, they would have been slaughtered.
But that again means, when we see the signs, we need to go into hiding. It does not claim a pre-trib rapture, but we must go into hiding. That's a big difference to have to go into hiding VERSUS being raptured.
