They would be a definite death trap for Christians who were told to "flee" the city. Christ alludes to the Jews attempted escape in the caves and rocks. Also, Josephus does record that some Jews hid themselves in the caves and rocks, but were exposed during Jerusalem's destruction.

We know the sign of the fish was the mark of Christians at that time and if Christians were amoungst those hiding in these tunnels during the destruction of Jeruselum was occurring, they may have left such witness signs on the walls to be found now. As Christians we live by faith, but as Christ foretold the destruction of God's Holy City, it would be of interest to know if his saints were witnesses during this time. Sirs
