Petra....

D has told be a lot about Petra. The ancient city west of Wadi Araba in Jordan, near the Red and Dead Seas. The city 2000 years ago was carved from sandstone cliffs by the Nabatalans, it had temples, tombs, houses, halls, altars and aqueducts. It was the cross roads of the ancient world.
Today as I channel surfed I saw a Christian documentary about the the ancient city, The TV preacher said things I never heard before, and I am a Christian. He said when the anti-Christ tries to finish off Israel, the 12 tribes of Israel will flee to Petra and hide. The narrow entrance to Petra, known as the Sig, will close due to a earthquake, and the 12 tribes will be protected supernaturally for 1260 days. No one will be able to enter Petra, it can not be bombed etc. The "chosen people" will remain until Jesus Christ's second coming at the end of times, and then be delivered into the "promised land". He claimed this was all found in the Bible. I would like someone to explain to me what happens to the rest of us? Will only Israeles be saved? Religion is so confusing. God/Allah help me!!
