When does the woman flee into the wilderness in Revelation 12:6?

At the midpoint of the tribulation, the woman—symbolizing the nation of Israel—flees into the wilderness, a place prepared by God. She is nourished there for 1,260 days, which equals three and a half years, as stated in Revelation 12:6.

Les explains that Revelation 12:6 leaps back to the midpoint of the tribulation. The woman symbolizes the nation of Israel, and she flees into the wilderness—the mountains Jesus spoke of. God has prepared a place there, and the Godhead feeds her for 1,260 days, which is three and a half years. Later, in verse 13, when the dragon is cast into the earth, he persecutes the woman, Israel, confirming this timeline.

Revelation 12:6

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.
