Where does the escaping remnant of Jews go and who protects them during the tribulation?

The escaping remnant of Jews goes to their place in the wilderness, where the Godhead—the triune God—protects and feeds them. This occurs during the last three and a half years of great tribulation, after Satan, the dragon, is cast to earth and persecutes Israel, the woman who brought forth the man-child.

Les explains that the escaping group is a mixed remnant—older men, working-age men, young mothers, and a cross-section of society—who are told to pray their flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath day. At the midpoint of the Tribulation, the last three and a half years become the greatest tribulation in human history. This escaping remnant of Jews goes to their place in the wilderness, where the Godhead, the triune God, protects and feeds them. In Revelation 12, the dragon is Satan, cast out of heaven, and he persecutes the woman, who is the nation of Israel.

Revelation 12:14

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.

Revelation 12:6

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
