This is just me thinking out loud…
If the whole church is raptured before the great tribulation, the woman - Israel according to the flesh - will fly into the desert where she belongs, away from the serpent (Rev 12, 14) …
Rev 12, 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
… which means the intensity of the oppression, that the verbal attack on the Jews (water in the Bible symbolizes speech) will become enormous …
Rev 12, 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
(Zec 14, 3-5 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.)
… so the pursuit of Israel will be impossible, because there will be a period of anger, cataclysms and shifting continents …
Rev 12, 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
… with whom will the dragon fight at the same time, if not with the remnant of the church, the remnant of Jesus’ disciples?
explains in “part-2”, why we should expect the unexpected concerning a prophetic event that started on Thursday, November 30th, and ends on Tuesday, December 12th that nobody seems to be paying attention to.
