Mark 13
31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Luke 21
33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34And 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.
35[For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36Watch 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.
Mark 13
18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
If the orbit changed not in the winter time, then this planet wouldn't come too far from the sun. Meaning earth's inhabitants would survive. This earth will be just about everyone's flight. Think of earth as a round space shuttle from here on out. And if it is this winter, then expect genuine DOOM by your flight.
Heaven (also that day) is as a snare because it turns out to be God.
So heaven wont pass away since God got everlasting life. But earth on the other hand just might pass away, even though it isn't alive exactly. Heaven and earth part their seperate ways is what it can mean by heaven and earth shall pass away, since we notice the word "and" in between heaven and earth.
It means: the joint (heaven and earth) comes apart to some different extents. You have to be a good interpreter to get this.

"Flight" means the act of running away.
If you "flee" from somebody, that is a flight.

The word "flight" has at least two entries in the dictionaries.
The second entry is;
n; Running away, hasty retreat, absconding- from the OE "flyght", and the OHG "fluht".
That is obviously the word intended by the translators.
Anyway, Jesus did not say "flight", because he wasn't speaking in English.
The Greek word in the gospel is PHYGE- That word means "Running away".
