Book of Revelation - Chapter 12 - Verse 14

12:14
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.

Meaning

Revelation 12:14 describes the woman being given two wings of a great eagle so she can flee to the wilderness, a place prepared for her by God, where she will be taken care of and protected from the serpent for a specific period of time. This verse is often interpreted symbolically, with the woman representing the faithful followers of God, the eagle wings symbolizing divine intervention and protection, and the wilderness signifying a place of refuge and spiritual nourishment. The time, times, and half a time mentioned could refer to a period of persecution and trials that God's people must endure, with the assurance that even in the wilderness, they will be sustained by God's provision and safeguarded from harm. This verse serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to his people and his promise to protect them, even in the midst of challenges and adversity.
