SALVATION THROUGH TWO WITNESSES

During this same forty-two-month period, God will shelter many Israelites in a place He has prepared for them in the wilderness (some speculate the rock city of Petra). Revelation 12:6 reads, “Then the woman [Israel] fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” Many Jews will follow Jesus’ warning to flee to safety.

The rest who remain will face terrible persecution from the forces of Antichrist. At that time, God will bring salvation to Israel, using the two powerful preachers who will appear in Jerusalem (verse 3), and will also suffer hostility and hatred (verses 7–8).

The connection between this vision of the two preachers and the previous passage (verses 1–2) should be clear. They are among God’s unique witnesses who will proclaim His message of judgment during the final stages of the tribulation. They will preach the gospel so the Jewish remnant can believe and enjoy God’s protection.
