Revelation 12:14 Revelation 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. By the two wings of a great eagle we may understand the means of the churchs preservation by Arcadius and Honorius, the two sons of Theodosisus, between who the Roman Empire was divided. It may bear some allusion unto God’ s preservation of his church in the days of her wilderness condition, (Deuteronomy 32:11-12 and Exodus 19:4). Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles wings, etc. Where she was nourished for a time and times, and half a time; that is, three prophetical days and an half. \ Read Hosea 6:1-3; Revelation 11:11. And there she was fed by the ministers of Christ, and was preserved and hid from the face of the serpent, by God’ s divine Providence.
