How does God provide for the Jewish remnant in the wilderness during the tribulation?
He gives the escaping Jewish remnant two wings of a great eagle to fly into a designated wilderness place, where He nourishes and cares for them for three and a half years, even as He supplied manna and water from the rock. They are providentially insulated from the tribulation.
Les teaches that the escaping Jewish remnant receives two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to a place designated by sovereign God, where she is nourished and taken care of. He likens this to God's provision of manna and water from the rock in the Exodus. The remnant flees to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem and is providentially protected for the last three and a half years—the time, plus times, totaling three and a half—from the face of the serpent. Les connects Exodus and Revelation, noting that just as Israel was isolated in Goshen from the plagues after the third plague, with a line between Egypt and Goshen, so this remnant is insulated while the ravages of the tribulation tear around them and all the world comes under it.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
