What happens to the woman in Revelation 12:14?
The woman—the escaping remnant of Israel—is given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place. There she is nourished for a time, plus two times, totaling three and a half years, away from the face of the serpent.
Les teaches that the woman is the escaping remnant of Israel. The dragon, Satan, who has indwelled the Antichrist, persecutes her, but to the woman are given two wings of a great eagle so she can fly into the wilderness to her place. There she is nourished for a time—one year—plus two times—two years—for a total of three and a half years, from the face of the serpent. Les ties this to Exodus 19 and Israel coming out of Egypt, showing the same eagle's-wings analogy for the fleeing remnant coming out of Jerusalem to the place prepared of God for that final three and a half years.
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.
