On this week's Hal Lindsey Presents, our study of Revelation takes us further into the amazing 12th chapter. It gives a profound look into the courts of heaven and the beauty of Jesus as our Savior and as our Advocate before the Father. We will also see Lucifer cast out of heaven, and the astounding implications of that.

Some critics say that most of the prophecies written in the Book of Revelation happened in the first century. Of course, to interpret it that way, the plain sense of the words of Revelation would have to be ignored. One of the leading proponents of this idea says that to take Revelation at its word means that God is herding the Jews into the Promised Land in order to destroy them.

Wrong! That is not what the Bible teaches! In Revelation 12, the woman who clearly and plainly represents believing Jews is not destroyed. Instead, she is given special care. Revelation 12:6 says that Israel flees "into the wilderness" where she has "a place prepared by God, so that there she might be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days."

Remember that ancient calendar years were 360 days long. 360 times 3 ½ equals 1,260. God here promises to prepare a place of safety for believing Jews during the treacherous last 3 ½ years of the tribulation. Daniel warned that midway through those seven years, the abomination of desolation will be set up in the Temple (Daniel 9:27, Daniel 12:11).

Jesus sent a warning across time to Jerusalem's believing Jews of the Tribulation. He said when you see the abomination that Daniel spoke of, run! Get out of there! Don't even go back for your coat. Just flee! (Matthew 24:15-22) And here we learn that the wilderness to which they will flee will have been prepared for them by God.

No, God is not herding them into the Promised Land for destruction. He has said that at some point in the future, a vast number of those who return to the land will also return to Him (Ezekiel 36:24[-]26). That means they will finally turn to Jesus (Matthew 23:39, Romans 11:131).

On Hal Lindsey Presents, we will look at Satan's continuing attack them and what God does to stop the attack. We will also talk about the two wings of the great eagle that will fly them to the place prepared for them (Revelation 12:14).

On this week's program, we examine these and other wonders in Revelation 12. I hope you can join me on Daystar, Sunday at 11PM Eastern Time.
