Yes, God will protect the Jewish remnant by leading them to a prepared wilderness and sustaining them for three and a half years.
God will guide a cross-section of Israeli society to a mountainous area southeast of Jerusalem, possibly near Petra. There He will shield them from the tribulation's ravages and provide food, clothing, and shelter, just as He did for Israel in the Exodus. This protection will last for the final three and a half years, even though the remnant remains in unbelief.
Revelation 12:14 — This verse declares that the woman (Israel) will be nourished in the wilderness for 1260 days, directly showing God's protection of the remnant.
The Bible teaches that during the Tribulation, a Jewish remnant will flee to the mountains when they see the abomination of desolation (Matthew 24:15-16). In Revelation, the woman (representing Israel) is given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time, protected from the serpent (Revelation 12:14). This period of 1260 days equals three and a half years. The Old Testament parallel is God's protection of Israel in the wilderness under Moses, where He provided manna, water, and clothing that did not wear out (Deuteronomy 8:4, 29:5).
Les Feldick teaches that at the midpoint of the Tribulation, a cross-section of Israeli society will flee from Jerusalem to the mountains southeast of the city, likely in the area of ancient Petra. They will be a remnant, not the whole nation, and they will go in unbelief, not yet recognizing Christ. God will supernaturally protect them for three and a half years, insulating them from the earthquakes, volcanoes, and other judgments. This protection parallels Israel's Exodus experience: God will provide food, clothing, and shelter, and they will be safe even as the world is devastated. Les emphasizes that this protection is God's sovereign act, not arranged by human governments.
Les Feldick teaches that the fleeing remnant will head to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem. He personally suggests the ancient city of Petra as a possibility, though he doubts it will be large enough, but the direction is apropos.
Les draws a direct parallel to Israel's 40 years in the wilderness under Moses. Just as God provided manna, water, and clothing that did not wear out, He will supernaturally provide for the remnant for three and a half years, meeting every need.
Yes. Les compares this to Israel being insulated from the plagues in Goshen. All the ravages of the Tribulation will be tearing around them, but the remnant will be safe and secure in the place God has prepared.
Les teaches that the Antichrist will try to destroy the remnant with an armed force, but God will intervene supernaturally, even opening the earth to swallow the enemy, just as He opened the Red Sea for Israel.
Location of the Flight
Les identifies the flight of a cross-section of Israeli society to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem, mentioning Petra as a possible location.
Exodus Parallel
Les emphasizes that God will protect the fleeing remnant for three and a half years, just as He did for Israel in the wilderness, providing for all their needs.
Supernatural Provision and Deliverance
Les explains that the remnant will be fed and sheltered supernaturally, and God will intervene to defeat the Antichrist's forces.
Protection in Unbelief
Les stresses that the remnant will be protected even though they are in unbelief, not yet recognizing Christ, until His second coming.
Insulation from Judgments
Les compares the remnant's protection to Israel in Goshen, insulated from all the plagues and tribulation ravages.
Identification of the Escaping Remnant
Les identifies the group as the 'escaping remnant' from Matthew 24, a percentage of Israel, not the whole nation.
Safety in Prepared Place
Les reinforces that God will feed and protect the fleeing Jews for three and a half years, even as the Tribulation rages.
Escape at the Midpoint
Les reminds that the remnant will flee when the last three and a half years break, and God will protect them in the mountains.
Matthew 24:15-16: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Jesus instructs the fleeing remnant to go to the mountains when they see the abomination, indicating the location and timing.
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 explicitly describes God's protection of Israel (the woman) in the wilderness for three and a half years.
Deuteronomy 8:4: Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, and thy foot swelled not, these forty years.
This Old Testament verse proves God's miraculous provision for Israel in the wilderness, which Les parallels to the future protection.
Deuteronomy 29:5: And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Reinforces the Exodus parallel of God's supernatural supply for His people.
Exodus 8:22: And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
Shows how God set apart His people from plagues, which Les compares to the remnant's insulation from tribulation judgments.
Yes, God will protect a remnant of Jews for three and a half years in a wilderness area, providing all their needs supernaturally.
They will flee to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem, possibly near ancient Petra, as Les Feldick suggests.
God will protect them for the last three and a half years of the Tribulation, exactly 1260 days.
Yes, Les emphasizes that they will be protected even in unbelief, not recognizing Christ until His second coming.
