14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

A. The church in under the care and protection of God. Similar to Elijah by the brook, or the children of Israel in the wilderness, God will take care of His own.

B. This verse is similar to verse 6.

C. The church is given two wings (two showing strength; wings of eagles demonstrate the ease of escape) and is able to fly into the wilderness.

D. God cares for the church during this “time and times and half a time” (3 ½ times). It should be clear that these terms are used interchangeably.
