“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.”
The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be nourished for a time, times and half a time - the eagle's wings recall God's protection of Israel at Sinai (Exod 19:4) and divine deliverance. The 'time, times and half a time' is three-and-a-half years, the period of persecution and preservation.
