Zephaniah 2:3
“Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.”
Here, Zephaniah is pleading with the nation of Israel to; seek the Lord, seek righteousness and seek humility, that she may be hidden in the day of Tribulation and escape those things which are to come.
According to Revelation 12, many of the nation will do just that in the middle of the Tribulation, when the antichrist revels his true colors. Then many people, not only Jews but gentiles as well, will realize they have been “left behind.”
Scripture also tells us in Isaiah 16 the name of the place where the Lord shall hide His people: Petra, located in present-day southern Jordan and carved out of a rock. Petra is a huge city located in the mountain cliffs that can hold a million or more people.
The Truth
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” (Matthew 24:15-16)
