Israel Preserved: The Wings of a Great Eagle
Revelation shows the woman pursued by the dragon, carried by two wings of a great eagle into her prepared place, and sustained there for three and a half years. Watchman 33 reads the woman as Israel and considers whether American support and a fuller occupation of the land promised to Abraham prepare the way for this still-future preservation.
Revelation 12:6
6And 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.
Revelation 12:13–17
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
14And 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.
15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
A prepared place. A pursuing dragon. Wings given for preservation.
