A place prepared of God
The name 1260Tribe (said “twelve sixty”) comes from Revelation 12, where the woman flees into the wilderness and is fed there for 1,260 days. Here is the Scripture behind it, and how we hold it.
What the text says
All quotations are the King James Version, word for word.
“And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”
Revelation 12:6 (KJV)
1,260 days is the span the name comes from. On the common prophetic reckoning it is 42 thirty-day months, or three and a half years.
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”
Revelation 12:14 (KJV)
“A time, and times, and half a time” is widely read as the same three-and-a-half-year span. The woman is nourished there: provision comes from God.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:5–7 (KJV)
Forty-two months is the same span again, here describing a time of pressure on the saints.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV)
This is where “No Mark” comes from. Scripture describes a time when buying and selling are closed to those who will not take the mark. Our conviction is not a date but a duty: learn the skills of provision and hand them down.
Not a date. A duty.
1260Tribe equips Christian families to pass down practical survival, homesteading, and preparedness skills—so that if believers are ever shut out of ordinary buying and selling, they already know how to live, provide, and endure in “a place prepared of God,” without fear and without compromise.
“No Mark No Fear” means trusting God whatever comes, and being ready enough to help others. We don’t set dates, we don’t sell panic, and we don’t promise that skills make anyone invulnerable. Readiness is stewardship.
Faithful Christians read the timing differently
1260Tribe doesn’t require one timetable, and disagreement on timing isn’t a test of fellowship. You’re welcome here whichever view you hold. Here are the main readings, one fair summary each.
Pre-tribulation
The church is caught up before the tribulation. The 1,260 days and the mark then concern those who come to faith during that period, often called tribulation saints (Revelation 7:9–14; 12:17; 13:7). Preparedness remains a wise, transferable skill set, and a ministry to any who may face that hour.
Mid-tribulation / pre-wrath
The church is present for part of the period and is gathered before the worst of God’s wrath. Practical readiness is directly relevant to believers now.
Post-tribulation
The church remains through the tribulation and is gathered at Christ’s return. The 1,260-day passages describe conditions believers themselves may face, so passing down skills is a pastoral and family duty.
Other historic readings
Preterist readings see much of this as fulfilled in the first century, often around AD 70. Amillennial readings treat the period as symbolic of the church age. Historicist readings often stretch the days across church history. Each still leaves room for faithful endurance, provision and teaching the next generation.
“And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
Revelation 7:14 (KJV)
Across these views, Christians honor the tribulation saints, a people preserved and provided for. Whatever your reading, the work of readiness is the same: water, food, warmth, first aid and a family that knows the plan. Study the passages yourself and talk with your pastor.
