The Wings of A Great Eagle

Revelation 12:14 
"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." 

        Today we pick up from where the "Dragon" is cast out. When the "Dragon is cast out, knowing that his defeat has been brought by the elevation of the"Man Child," (Christ) to the place of power. Now the "Dragon," (Satan) will concentrate his hatred and malice on the "Clothed Women" (Israel) who gave Him (Christ) birth. The "Women" will be given the "wings of a great eagle," so she can fly into the "Wilderness," into "her place" where she will be nourished for a "Time, Times, and Half a Time," Which is three and a half years.
        This takes us back to the flight of Israel from Egypt, of which God said; "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself" (Ex. 19:4). The "Women" and the "Dragon are symbols, so are the "Eagle Wings." They speak of the rapid and safe flight of the "Women" (Israel) into the "Wilderness," where she shall be keep safe and nourished for three and a half years until the return of  "The High Priest" (Jesus), from Heaven, who as "King Priest" of the Armies of Heaven will deliver her and allow her to leave her place of refuge.
        Filled with wrath at the escape of the "Sun Clothed Women," The Dragon will turn his attention to the "remnant of her seed," and to better carry out his plans he will give to the "Beast" (Antichrist) his "Power" and his "Seat and "Great Authority."  " And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority" (Rev. 13:2). While Antichrist, as Antichrist, exists from the "beginning" of the "week" for at that time he makes a "covenant for one week." And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (Dan. 9:27) and in the "Middle of the Week" he will break "the covenant," and for the "Last half of the Week" his reign will be terrible, and change in his character and the character of his reign, can only be accounted for on the basis that the dragon has incarnated himself in him. It is this phase of the reign of  "Antichrist" that is brought out in the Book of Revelation.
        Amen!!
