How long is the woman cared for in the wilderness in Revelation 12:6?
In Revelation 12:6 the woman is cared for in the wilderness for 1,260 days, which is the same as three and a half years. The context identifies the woman as Israel, who flees to a God-prepared place where she is fed during that period.
Les explains that Revelation 12 uses symbolism: the woman is the nation of Israel, and the man-child is the Christ child. Verse 6 leaps back to the midpoint of the tribulation, when the woman flees into the wilderness—the mountains Jesus spoke of—where she has a place prepared by God, and the Godhead feeds her there. The number given is 1,260 days, or three and a half years. The transcript then moves to verse 13, where the dragon persecutes the woman, again identified as Israel.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
