What does the woman being given eagle's wings in Revelation connect to in the Old Testament?
The woman's two eagle's wings connect to Exodus 19:4, where God says He bore Israel on eagles' wings and brought them to Himself. It pictures Israel fleeing Egypt with Pharaoh's armies behind, which God stopped at the Red Sea, and parallels the coming Antichrist's pursuit of escaping Jews.
Les teaches that much of Genesis and Exodus is repeated in Revelation. He connects the woman's two wings of a great eagle to Exodus 19:4, where God says through Moses, 'I bear you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.' The setting matches Israel fleeing Egypt with the Egyptian armies behind them. Les explains that Pharaoh sent his armies and chariots to destroy Israel, and God stopped Pharaoh at the Red Sea. In the same way, the Antichrist will send an army after the escaping Jews, but they will be destroyed. The woman is given wings to fly into the wilderness to the place prepared of God for time, times, and half a time, from the serpent; the serpent casts out a flood, and the earth helps her.
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
