Yes — God will supernaturally protect and provide for the remnant of Israel for 1,260 days in a wilderness refuge.
God prepares a place for the escaping remnant and feeds them for three and a half years, protecting them from all the ravages of the Tribulation. Les Feldick shows this is a direct parallel to God's provisions for Israel in the wilderness, including food, water, clothes, and shelter.
Matthew 24:15-16 — Jesus instructs those in Judaea to flee to the mountains when the abomination of desolation appears, initiating the remnant's flight.
Revelation 12:6 — Describes the woman fleeing into the wilderness where God has prepared a place and feeds her for 1,260 days.
In Matthew 24:15-16, Jesus tells those in Judaea to flee into the mountains when they see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. Revelation 12:6 describes the woman fleeing into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, and God feeds her there for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Les Feldick teaches that at the midpoint of the Tribulation, a remnant of Israel will flee from Jerusalem to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem. God will prepare a place for them and feed them for exactly 1,260 days, which is the last three and a half years of the Tribulation. This protection will be supernatural, similar to how God provided for Israel in the wilderness for forty years. Their food, water, clothing, and shelter will be supplied, and they will be insulated from the judgments and upheavals occurring around them, just as Israel was isolated in Goshen from the plagues. Les also emphasizes that despite being protected, this remnant remains in unbelief concerning Christ. They recognize the God of heaven but do not recognize Jesus as the Christ until His second coming, when they finally become believers and become the seed stock of the nation of Israel.
Les teaches that the remnant will leave Jerusalem as a large group and make their way to the mountains southeast of Jerusalem. Matthew 24:16 instructs those in Judaea to flee into the mountains, and Revelation 12:6 describes the woman fleeing into the wilderness where God has prepared a place for her.
God will protect and provide for the remnant for exactly 1,260 days, which is the last three and a half years of the Tribulation. During this time, they will be totally safe while the rest of the world experiences the ravages of the Tribulation, including volcanic earthquakes and other judgments.
No. Les emphasizes that the remnant goes out in unbelief. They recognize the God of heaven and the power beyond them, but they will not recognize God the Son or Jesus as the Christ. It is only at Christ's second coming that this group finally becomes believers and becomes the seed stock of the nation of Israel.
Midpoint Events and the Fleeing Remnant
Les places the remnant's flight at the midpoint of the seven-year Tribulation, alongside the death of the two witnesses, the Antichrist's defilement of the temple, and Satan being cast out of heaven.
God Prepares a Place and Feeds the Remnant
Les shows from Revelation 12 that God prepares a place for the escaping remnant and the Godhead feeds her for 1,260 days, i.e., three and a half years.
Exodus-Style Provision
Les compares God's protection to the wilderness wanderings: food, water, shoes and clothes that did not wear out, and total safety for the remnant.
Supernatural Escape and Protection
Les describes a supernatural flight to mountains southeast of Jerusalem, with God intervening to swallow the Antichrist's pursuing army and provide food, clothing, and shelter.
Protected but Still in Unbelief
Les stresses that the remnant is protected for three and a half years while remaining in unbelief regarding Christ, only recognizing God's sovereign power.
Becoming Believers at the Second Coming
Les explains that the remnant is cared for like Israel in the wilderness and finally becomes believers at Christ's second coming, becoming the seed stock of the nation.
Fleeing to the Mountains per Matthew 24
Les connects Matthew 24:15-16 to the escaping remnant who flee to mountains southeast of Jerusalem and are protected for the final three and a half years.
Isolated Like Goshen
Les compares the remnant's safety to Israel in Goshen, insulated from the plagues, while the Tribulation's ravages happen all around them.
Matthew 24:15: 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:)
This is the sign Jesus gives for the remnant to flee when the abomination of desolation appears.
Matthew 24:16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.
The flee command sends those in Judea to the mountains, the beginning of the remnant's journey.
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.
Describes the woman (Israel) in the wilderness with a place prepared by God and being fed for 1,260 days.
Yes. Les teaches that, just as God provided for Israel in the wilderness, He will provide food, water, clothing, and shelter for the remnant during the three and a half years.
No. Les emphasizes that while they recognize the God of heaven, they go into the refuge in unbelief and will not recognize Christ until His second coming.
God intervenes and opens the earth to swallow the pursuing army, just as He parted the Red Sea to help Israel escape.
