Why don't we see the supernatural today the way it will happen in the tribulation?
Today is not that seven-year period, so the supernatural is not commonplace. People are not used to seeing angels intervene or God use earthquakes. But when the seven-year tribulation starts, supernatural events will occur one after another, including the two witnesses and the 144,000.
Les teaches that as soon as the seven-year period begins—when the man signs the treaty with Israel and the Middle Eastern nations—the supernatural will become commonplace. He notes that we are not used to the supernatural today, to angels intervening, or to God using an earthquake. But once that seven years starts, supernatural events will take place one right after another: the two witnesses appear, whoever they are, and if they are Moses and Elijah, that itself is supernatural; the 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each tribe, are supernaturally identified and set apart. The escaping Jewish remnant from Jerusalem will also be supernaturally escorted, much like Israel coming out of Egypt.
