Exegesis
The verse begins with the indefinite temporal clause introduced by hotan {Ὅταν | hó-tan} followed by the aorist subjunctive idete {ἴδητε | í-de-te}, a common Greek pattern for future, but temporally undefined, events.
In context — Mark 13:14
But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let the one who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
