On whom will the Antichrist turn all his wrath when he realizes he cannot touch them?
When the Antichrist sees he cannot touch the escaping remnant of Israel, he directs his fury against the 144,000. These are the Jews who have proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom for three and a half years, announcing that the King is coming, and they become the target of his wrath.
Les teaches that once the Antichrist realizes he cannot touch the escaping remnant, he will turn all of his wrath on the 144,000. These are the same 144,000 who had already been out in the world for three and a half years proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and announcing that the King is coming. The context describes an escaping remnant at the midpoint heading to the mountains in the east, the remnant of Israel that will be saved when they see Christ at His second coming. Then the Antichrist’s wrath shifts to the 144,000, and Matthew 25 shows them in prison, naked, hungry, and thirsty because he turns his wrath on those 144,000 Jews.
