What Old Testament event does the wilderness care in Revelation 12 parallel?
The wilderness care in Revelation 12 parallels the Exodus from Egypt. Just as God miraculously led Israel under Moses into the wilderness for forty years, providing food, water, and clothing that did not wear out, so He will protect and sustain the escaping remnant of Israel for three and a half years.
Les teaches that the woman fleeing into the wilderness in Revelation 12 is a direct parallel with the Exodus from Egypt. Just as God providentially and miraculously brought the nation out under Moses, took them into the wilderness, and provided all their food and water, with shoes and clothes not wearing out for forty years, so God will prepare a place for the escaping remnant of Israel. The Israeli government and rabbis will not do it, but God will feed and protect her for 1,260 days, or three and a half years. If God could sustain several million people and their livestock for forty years, He can do it with a smaller remnant for three and a half years. He will protect them from the ravages around them, even from volcanic and earthquake upheaval elsewhere, giving them total safety and security.
