Could this land be rescued out of the hands of the warring nations during the battle of “Har-Magedon.” Many
Islamic nations are east of Israel including Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Could it be Jordan in
particular Edom, which is to the south where they flee? The location of Petra which many believe to be the
location where the 144,000 go into the wilderness is mentioned in Revelation 12:14. It would need to house
millions of protected individuals during the End Times more than the 144,000 who were sealed prior to the first
judgment. In Matthew 24:16 it states those “in Judea must flee to the mountains.” Let us take a look at what the
scripture has to say about the wilderness. The dragon used in this prophetic scripture is referring to Satan and the
woman is a symbolic representation of Israel.

Revelation 12:13-17 “And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he
persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the
wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the
presence of the serpent.
15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might
cause her to be swept away with the flood.
16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the
dragon poured out of his mouth.
17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her
children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.”

God protects those in the wilderness from the flood waters that Satan pours out. The scripture makes the
statement that Satan makes war with the rest of those who hold to the testimony of Jesus. It is the rest that have
not gone into the wilderness that Satan pursues. In Daniel 11:35 it says “some of those who have insight will fall.”
Following the sealing of the 144,000, Satan was cast down to the earth. Satan pursues those who hold a testimony
of Jesus. What is next in the heavens that symbolizes it is time for Christ’s battle? This sign occurs in the Constellation
of Leo that represents the Lion of Judah, who is Christ the Lord going into battle with His Wrath.
