A place prepared

June 22 - A place prepared - Rev 12:6

Vs 6 – So she fled to the wilderness to a place prepared by God.  Now this is of course a reference to how the Lord kept Israel in the wilderness for 40 years.  This also refers to what will happen to the Jews when they reject the beast or anti-christ.  They will have to flee from Jerusalem out to the wilderness of Sinai or in the desert places of the middle east.  They will be kept from the devil.  The Lord will keep them for 1260 days.  It is obvious that in the last three and a half years of the Tribulation period the beast will try to hunt Israel down but will not be able to find or destroy them.   God has always promised to keep and meet the needs of His people.  This is a promise of daily provision, protection and fellowship.  This is also a reminder that the Lord still has strong dealings with His covenant people the Jews.   The Lord keeps His people in perfect peace when they put their trust in Him.
