The End

tinued on into the wilderness, reaching Mt. Sinai forty-nine

days later.

In the future, at the middle of the tribulation, it appears

that Moses, who most likely is one of the two witnesses of Rev-

elation 11:3, will lead the Jews once again—this time away

from the Antichrist. The Antichrist will send an army after the

Jews as they flee from Jerusalem, when the abomination of

desolation is accomplished. As the Jews flee into the wilder-

ness, they will be delivered on eagles’ wings (Rev. 12:14). It

will be on the same eagles’ wings (Exod. 19:4) that the Jews

were miraculously delivered from Pharaoh during the Exodus.

The two witnesses are probably Moses and Elijah. Perhaps

Elijah will be acting as Aaron did 3,500 years earlier.

Revelation, chapter 12 is full of symbolism. The dragon is

defined as Satan, the ancient serpent. From the mouth of the

symbolic serpent comes a flood or river (which has to be sym-

bolic as well). A flood is symbolic of armies (Jer. 46:8) which

are to be swallowed by the earth (Rev. 12:16); analogous to the

Egyptian armies of Pharaoh being swallowed by the sea (Exod.

15:12). The Jews who flee are those who obey their Messiah’s

words:

“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abom-

ination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet

Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in

Judea flee to the mountains”

(Matt. 24:15-16).
