Revelation 12:14Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
The setting
Patmos Island, Greece, ~95 AD. John sees a cosmic vision of a woman (Israel/Church) fleeing Satan's persecution...
The emotion here: exiled but seeing divine protection
The original word
pteryges (πτέρυγες) — wings, specifically the powerful flight feathers of an eagle
Why it matters
Roman eagles were symbols of imperial power, but here God's eagle protects against Rome
Read with care
What most readers miss in Revelation 12:14
The 'time, times, and half a time' equals exactly 3.5 years - half of seven (completion)
Common misconceptionPeople think this is about the rapture, but it's about God sustaining His people THROUGH persecution, not removing them from it.
