What does the remnant of Israel do at the midpoint of the tribulation?
At the midpoint of the tribulation, the remnant of Israel flees from Jerusalem and the Judea area. This occurs at the same hour the Antichrist defiles the temple and turns on the Jews. Jesus instructs those in Judea to flee to the mountains, with the nearest safety thought to be to the southeast.
Les explains that Daniel foretold the Antichrist would make the temple desolate until the consummation, and Revelation's trumpet and bowl judgments fall in the last three and a half years. He connects this to Matthew 24: when the abomination foretold by Daniel appears, the Antichrist comes to Jerusalem, defiles the temple, turns on the Jew, and removes freedom of worship. At that same hour, the midpoint of the tribulation, a remnant of Israel flees Jerusalem and Judea. Jesus says those in Judea should flee to the mountains; the nearest mountains for safety are thought to be southeast, and some suggest Petra, but the exact place is uncertain.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
