Yes, God intervenes supernaturally by opening the earth to swallow the Antichrist's armed forces pursuing the Jewish remnant.
Les Feldick teaches that at the midpoint of the Tribulation, Satan indwells the Antichrist, who sends an armed force to destroy the fleeing Jews. Just as God opened the Red Sea to save Israel and drown Pharaoh's army, He will open the earth to swallow the Antichrist's army, protecting the remnant. This is a direct, sovereign act of God.
Revelation 12:15-16 — This passage directly describes the serpent casting a flood after the woman and the earth opening to swallow it, which is the core event of God's intervention.
In Revelation 12:15-16, the Bible states: "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth." This describes a supernatural intervention where the earth itself protects the woman (representing Israel) by swallowing the flood, which is a symbolic representation of the Antichrist's forces. The parallel to the Exodus is seen in Exodus 14, where God parted the Red Sea, and the Egyptians were drowned. Additionally, Exodus 19:4 uses the imagery of eagles' wings: "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself." This connects to Revelation 12:14, where the woman is given "two wings of a great eagle."
Les Feldick explains that at the midpoint of the Tribulation, Satan is cast out of heaven and indwells the Antichrist, controlling him as he did with Judas. The Antichrist, headquartered in Jerusalem, sees the large group of Jews fleeing and sends an armed force to destroy them, much like Pharaoh did at the Exodus. However, God intervenes: just as He opened the Red Sea to drown Pharaoh's chariots, He will open the earth to swallow the Antichrist's army. This is a supernatural act, possibly using earthquakes, and the Jews are completely protected and supernaturally fed and sheltered for three and a half years. Les emphasizes that this is a grander scale of previous biblical events, such as the earth opening to swallow Korah's rebellion, and that the escape is so miraculous it is described as having "eagle's wings," though not literal flying.
Les teaches that the Antichrist, indwelled by Satan, sends an armed force—possibly a battalion or regiment—to pursue the fleeing Jews. Just before this force can overtake the rear of the group, God causes the earth to open up and swallow the entire armed force, completely destroying them. This parallels how Pharaoh's army was drowned in the Red Sea, and also echoes the earlier event when the earth opened to swallow the rebels in the wilderness (Numbers 16).
Les draws a strong parallel between the Jewish remnant's escape and Israel's flight from Egypt. In both cases, a large group of Jews flees from oppression, and the enemy pursues with military force. In the Exodus, God opened the Red Sea to let Israel pass and then drowned the Egyptians. In the Tribulation, God opens the earth to swallow the Antichrist's forces. The language in Exodus 19:4 about being borne on "eagle's wings" is directly tied to Revelation 12:14 where the woman is given "two wings of a great eagle" to fly into the wilderness. This shows the same supernatural protection.
After the earth swallows the Antichrist's army, the Jewish remnant continues to a place of safety in the mountains, where God protects and feeds them for the final three and a half years. They are completely insulated from the Antichrist's reach, and God provides for all their needs—food, clothing, and shelter—much like the wilderness experience. Even though the Antichrist is enraged and turns his attention to the rest of her seed (those left behind), the remnant is safe under God's sovereign care.
Satan Indwells the Antichrist
Les explains that at the midpoint of the Tribulation, Satan is cast out of heaven and indwells the Antichrist, controlling him just as he did with Judas, and this is the context for the Antichrist's actions.
Earth Opens to Swallow Armed Force
Les explicitly teaches that God will open the earth to swallow the Antichrist's armed force, just as He opened the Red Sea to destroy Pharaoh's chariots.
Supernatural Protection and Provision
Les emphasizes that the remnant's escape is supernatural, and God will feed and protect them for three and a half years, much like the wilderness experience.
Parallel to Red Sea and Earthquakes
Les draws the direct parallel between the Red Sea covering Pharaoh's army and the earth opening to swallow the Antichrist's forces, noting that earthquakes are expected at that time.
Antichrist Sends Armed Force
Les describes how the Antichrist, like Pharaoh, sends an armed force to destroy the fleeing Jews, out of hatred.
Eagles' Wings Connection
Les connects the 'eagle's wings' in Revelation 12:14 to Exodus 19:4, showing the parallel between the Exodus and the Tribulation escape.
Total Destruction of Force
Les notes that the armed force is totally destroyed and the Antichrist, furious, turns his attention to the remnant of her seed.
Old Testament Parallel
Les reiterates the Exodus parallel, including the eagle's wings imagery, to show that God's intervention will be similar but on a grander scale.
Revelation 12:15-16: And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
This is the key passage where the earth opens to swallow the flood (representing the Antichrist's forces) to protect the woman (Israel).
Exodus 19:4: Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
This verse uses the eagle's wings imagery that parallels Revelation 12:14, showing God's protective care.
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.
This verse describes the woman being given eagle's wings to fly to safety, which Les interprets as supernatural protection, not literal flight.
Yes, according to Les Feldick, God will supernaturally open the earth to swallow the Antichrist's armed forces, just as He opened the Red Sea for Israel. This is a literal event taught in Revelation 12:16.
Les teaches that the 'flood' is symbolic language for the armed force sent by the Antichrist. It is not literal water but represents troops, tanks, and other military vehicles pursuing the Jews.
God will protect and provide for the Jewish remnant for the final three and a half years of the Tribulation, known as the Great Tribulation, as they are nourished in the wilderness.
