How Will God Provide for the Jews During the Last Three and a Half Years of the Tribulation?

Direct Answer

God will provide for the Jewish remnant by preparing a wilderness refuge where He will miraculously feed, clothe, and protect them for 1,260 days.

Revelation 12 describes the woman (Israel) fleeing into the wilderness to a place prepared by God, where she is nourished for three and a half years. Les Feldick teaches that this provision will be a direct parallel to God's care for Israel in the wilderness for forty years—God Himself will feed the remnant, keep their clothing from wearing out, and supernaturally protect them from the Antichrist.

Key Scriptures

Revelation 12:6 — States that God prepared a place in the wilderness for the woman and that she would be fed there 1,260 days — the exact three and a half years of provision.

Revelation 12:14 — Describes the woman being given two wings of a great eagle to fly to her prepared place, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time.

Matthew 24:15-16 — Jesus instructed those in Judea to flee to the mountains when the abomination of desolation appears, identifying the timing and destination of the remnant's flight.

What Does the Bible Say?

In Revelation 12:6, the apostle John writes that "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." This identifies both a prepared place and a three-and-a-half-year period of divine feeding. Verse 14 adds that "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." In Matthew 24:15-16, Jesus warned, "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." These passages show that God has predetermined both the place and the duration of care for His people.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About God's Provision for the Jews in the Tribulation?

Les Feldick emphasizes that God—not the Israeli government or the rabbis—will prepare a place for the escaping remnant and will personally feed and care for them for 1,260 days (Rev. 12:6). He repeatedly draws a direct parallel with the Exodus: just as God fed Israel in the wilderness for forty years, kept their shoes and clothes from wearing out, and gave them water, so He will supernaturally provide every need for this remnant during the last three and a half years. Les teaches that the remnant will flee on foot to the mountains south and east of Jerusalem, likely in the area of ancient Petra/Moab, and that God will give them "two wings of a great eagle" to transport them supernaturally to their prepared place. There they will be nourished and protected, insulated from the horrors of the Tribulation, and even the Antichrist's armies will not be able to touch them—God will intervene, as He did at the Red Sea, and destroy their pursuers if necessary.

Who Is the Woman in Revelation 12?

Les Feldick explains that the woman in Revelation 12 is Israel. The child she delivers is the Christ child born in Bethlehem. The great red dragon—Satan—stood before the woman to devour her child, which is why Herod's decree tried to kill the boy babies under two years old. This identifies the woman as the nation of Israel, the same nation that will flee into the wilderness during the Tribulation.

Where Will the Jewish Remnant Flee?

According to Les, when the abomination of desolation appears, the remnant in Judea will flee to the mountains south and east of Jerusalem. He mentions the mountains of Moab and the ancient city of Petra as the likely location. Once there, God will protect this escaping remnant for the final three and a half years, insulating them from the catastrophic events of the Tribulation.

How Does the Exodus Parallel the Tribulation Provision?

Les emphasizes that God's provision for the fleeing remnant mirrors His care for Israel in the wilderness under Moses. In the Exodus, Israel's shoes and clothes did not wear out for forty years; they never went hungry or thirsty. Les says God will take care of the remnant in the same way—supernaturally providing food, clothing, shelter, and total protection for the three and a half years. Even in their unbelief, God will keep them safe.

What Is the Significance of the Two Wings of a Great Eagle?

Les interprets the "two wings of a great eagle" in Revelation 12:14 as a supernatural means of transportation, just as God led and carried Israel out of Egypt. He believes God will transport the remnant from the area of Jerusalem into the wilderness to the prepared place, where they will be nourished for "a time, times, and half a time"—three and a half years.

Will God Protect the Remnant from the Antichrist?

Les teaches that the Antichrist will attempt to destroy the escaping remnant with an armed force, but God will intervene supernaturally—just as He opened the Red Sea to save Israel, He will open the earth and swallow the Antichrist's army. Nothing and no one will be able to touch the remnant during those three and a half years, because God will providentially escort and protect them.

Supernatural Care and Deliverance

God will feed and shelter the remnant for three and a half years, and will intervene when the Antichrist's army pursues, opening the earth to destroy them—just as He opened the Red Sea for Israel.
