Yes, we will all be on earth during all the difficult times ahead. Up till now, there has been world wars, terrible famines and plagues and millions of the saints have been killed for their faith. These are the first Five Seals in effect and they will get worse before Jesus Returns.If any on the forum think that the Lord is going to keep them from violence during the tribulation, think again [Revelation 6:9-11; 13:7; 14:13
But we do have the promises of God for His protection: 1 Corinthians 10:13...God will not test you beyond your power and when the test comes, He will provide a way out to enable you to endure.
Also we must call upon the Name of the Lord, on His Day of wrath. Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21 Many verses tell how the Lord will protect His people on that terrible Day. Isaiah 41:13, Zechariah 9:15-16
Then, later just before the Great Tribulation, those who refused the treaty with the Anti-Christ, will be taken to a place of safety on earth. Revelation 12:14 Those Christians who violated the Covenant, Daniel 11:32, will remain, as in Revelation 12:17
When you mention Israel, please specify whether you mean the State of Israel, or the Israel of God.And Revelation 12 is all about the Lord, Israel, and Satan .... not somebody's "church" organization
Jewish religion: Galatians 3:10...they rely on obedience to the Law and are therefore, under a curse.
Christian believers: Galatians 3:7..Those who have faith in God and accept Jesus atoning sacrifice, are Abrahams children. Isaiah 51:1-2
It is plain that Revelation 12 refers to true, righteous Christian believers, people from every race and language, some of whom will be Jews, but only a small minority. Any attempt to force the Jewish Israelis into that chapter, is wrong.
