Observations:
   1) Satan will be cast out from God’s presence; therefore, he will have great hostility toward God’s people - the church. 2) When this persecution begins in earnest, God provides a means of escape to a specified place. 3) This "place" is described as "the wilderness," or lonely land area because of less population. 4) God will Divinely provide all the necessities for physical suvival - food, water, etc. 5) This "Protection" will last for the last 3 and 1/2 years. This will be the same time frame the Beast will sit in the temple and claim to be God AND enforce the "Mark of the Beast."7 6) The New World Order’s military will be sent to eliminate resisters in this "wilderness" area, but God will supernaturally intervene with His Protection. The military seeking to destroy God’s Protected will be smashed. 7) With this humiliating defeat, Satan’s agents will turn their attention to the remaining Christians who did not believe God would Protect or their life was deemed an unworthy lifestyle for Protection. Satan will have success in his war with the remaining saints that did not receive Protection. The Bible clearly identifies WHO Satan’s agents will make war upon.
