Commentary on Revelation 12:14

Theological / Devotional

Two wings. The figure of eagle wings was familiar to God’s ancient people. The deliverance from Pharaoh and his hosts is referred to by this figure (Ex. 19:4; Deut. 32:11). Some see in these wings a symbol of the haste with which the church was obliged to find safety.

Nourished. See on v. 6.

A time, and times. See on v. 6.
