Verse 6
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Ver. 6. And the woman fled ] viz. After the battle mentioned in the next verse was fought and finished. See Revelation 12:13-14 .
Into the wilderness ] This notes her afflicted and desolate condition, forced now to live in poverty and exile.
Where she hath a place ] To wit, that temple that was so exactly measured, Revelation 11:12 , called here a wilderness, as was that of Judea, Matthew 3:1 , because but thinly inhabited. The elect are but a handful to a houseful of Atheists and Papists. Or else in allusion to the wilderness of Arabia, through which the Israelites fled from that dragon Pharaoh.
That they should feed her there ] Those two prophets, Revelation 11:3 , were appointed to feed these hidden ones, Psalms 83:3 , with the hidden manna, Revelation 2:17 . Their time and hers agree.
