The safety of all the faithful Christians during the 1260 days of the GT, is where the Lord will physically take them to. Revelation 12:14
That's a spiritual metaphor, just like the rest of that Rev.12 chapter is also...
Rev 12:15-17
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
KJV
The protection is spiritual, because the symbolic flood of waters that comes out of the MOUTH of the serpent (Satan) represents words that cause deception (into false worship of him in place of God). It is the same idea in Rev.9 with what comes out of the mouths of the locusts.
