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 Rev_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, Rev_11:12, called here a wilderness, as was that of Judea, Mat_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, Rev_11:3, were appointed to feed these hidden ones, Psa_83:3, with the hidden manna, Rev_2:17. Their time and hers agree.
