In our last prophecy update we discussed how the usage of a vast
underground water supply in the Negev was producing a large variety of
foodstuffs across its surface. However, when one-third of the
population of Israel is pushed into the Negev by the Antichrist in the
middle of the Tribulation Period, the initial food supply and production
will only be sufficient for a few months initially, and it will take a
year to bring it to adequate levels for such a rise in numbers. So, for
a few months, additional food will be provided by the "they" found in
verse 6 of the 12th chapter of Revelation: "And 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." The answer,
as to who the "they" represents, is to be found in the preceding verse
5, where the word "NATIONS" acts as the precedent to the word "THEY" in
verse 6: "And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all NATIONS
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne." (Revelation 12:5). Remember, in the initial attack of the
Antichrist from Syria, all the nations of the world are not involved.
All the nations of the world do not become involved until some three
years later at the final battle identified as Armageddon. So the "they"
in verse 6 refers to nations from the free world. Such nations as the
United States, England, Canada, and Australia, will airlift food,
clothing, and shelters to Israel in the Negev during this critical
period of shortages. The Antichrist, since he has previously overrun
the fertile and industrial heartland of Israel, will seek to gain world
approval of his actions by appearing, at this point, to be a merciful
conqueror, and will not contest this airlifting of foodstuffs to the
Negev. In fact, his aircraft will be under orders not to fire on any
foreign aircraft for fear of getting involved in a war with the western
powers. As I informed you in previous prophecy updates, the Antichrist
will be well aware of the defenses in the Negev, and will have no desire
to penetrate any further south than Beersheva. But at the end of the
Tribulation Period, he will send out a call to the European mainland,
all the nations once under the Soviet Union, Russia, and all the
countries of Asia and Africa, and many will come to this final great
battle: "And he gathered them together into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon." (Revelation 16:16).
