What will the Antichrist do when he finds out that Jews are fleeing Jerusalem?

When he gets wind that a great group of Jews is fleeing the Jerusalem area, he will immediately order an armed force to pursue them and destroy them. This mirrors Pharaoh, who sent his army and chariots after Israel fleeing Egypt. His motive is hatred.

Les explains that the Antichrist is the serpent working through the man, now headquartered at the temple. Just as Pharaoh sent his army and chariots after Israel fleeing out of Egypt down to the Red Sea to destroy them, the Antichrist will do the same. When he gets wind that a great group of Jews is fleeing out of the area of Jerusalem, he will immediately put out the order for an armed force to pursue them and destroy them. This is driven by his hatred. The context also shows the earth opening its mouth and swallowing the flood the dragon casts after the woman, picturing God’s sovereign protection of the fleeing remnant.
