How is the remnant of Israel preserved during the tribulation?
God preserves the remnant of Israel in the mountains during the 3.5 years of tribulation, protecting them as He kept Israel in the wilderness under Moses. When they see Him coming in clouds of glory, the remnant recognizes Him, is saved in a moment, and is grafted in.
Les explains that the remnant of Israel will be in the mountains, as pictured in Matthew 24. God protects them there for three and a half years during the horrors of tribulation, keeping them just as He kept Israel in the wilderness under Moses. When they see Him coming in the clouds of glory in power, crushing the Gentile world that has taken over the Middle East, they will recognize who He is. The nation, the remnant, will be saved in a moment and grafted back in. This matches verse 23, where they are grafted in again once unbelief is removed.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
