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.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 12 of Revelation. After being thrown down to the earth, the dragon pursues the woman. She is given the wings of a great eagle to flee into the wilderness, where she is nourished for a time, times, and half a time. The dragon attempts to sweep her away with water, but the earth helps the woman. Finally, he becomes enraged against the rest of her offspring, identified as those who keep God’s commandments and hold the testimony of Jesus Christ. Persecution thus appears as a consequence of the accuser’s defeat and as part of his final hostility toward the faithful people.
