A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
woman fled--Mary's flight with Jesus into Egypt is a type of this. where she hath--So C reads. But A and B add "there." a place--that portion of the heathen world which has received Christianity professedly, namely, mainly the fourth kingdom, having its seat in the modern Babylon, Rome, implying that all the heathen world would not be Christianized in the present order of things. prepared of God--literally, "from God." Not by human caprice or fear, but by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, the woman, the Church, fled into the wilderness. they should feed her--Greek, "nourish her." Indefinite for, "she should be fed." The heathen world, the wilderness, could not nourish the Church, but only afford her an outward shelter. Here, as in Dan 4:26, and elsewhere, the third person plural refers to the heavenly powers who minister from God nourishment to the Church. As Israel had its time of first bridal love, on its first going out of Egypt into the wilderness, so the Christian Church's wilderness-time of first love was the apostolic age, when it was separate from the Egypt of this world, having no city here, but seeking one to come; having only a place in the wilderness prepared of God (Rev 12:6, Rev 12:14). The harlot takes the world city as her own, even as Cain was the first builder of a city, whereas the believing patriarchs lived in tents. Then apostate Israel was the harlot and the young Christian Church the woman; but soon spiritual fornication crept in, and the Church in the seventeenth chapter is no longer the woman, but the harlot, the great Babylon, which, however, has in it hidden the true people of God (Rev 18:4). The deeper the Church penetrated into heathendom, the more she herself became heathenish. Instead of overcoming, she was overcome by the world [AUBERLEN]. Thus, the woman is "the one inseparable Church of the Old and New Testament" [HENGSTENBERG], the stock of the Christian Church being Israel (Christ and His apostles being Jews), on which the Gentile believers have been grafted, and into which Israel, on her conversion, shall be grafted, as into her own olive tree. During the whole Church-historic period, or "times of the Gentiles," wherein "Jerusalem is trodden down of the Gentiles," there is no believing Jewish Church, and therefore, only the Christian Church can be "the woman." At the same time there is meant, secondarily, the preservation of the Jews during this Church-historic period, in order that Israel, who was once "the woman," and of whom the man-child was born, may become so again at the close of the Gentile times, and stand at the head of the two elections, literal Israel, and spiritual Israel, the Church elected from Jews and Gentiles without distinction. Eze 20:35-36, "I will bring you into the wilderness of the people (Hebrew, 'peoples'), and there will I plead with you . . . like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of Egypt" (compare Notes, see on Eze 20:35-36): not a wilderness literally and locally, but spiritually a state of discipline and trial among the Gentile "peoples," during the long Gentile times, and one finally consummated in the last time of unparalleled trouble under Antichrist, in which the sealed remnant (Rev 7:1-8) who constitute "the woman," are nevertheless preserved "from the face of the serpent" (Rev 12:14). thousand two hundred and threescore days--anticipatory of Rev 12:14, where the persecution which caused her to flee is mentioned in its place: Rev 13:11-18 gives the details of the persecution. It is most unlikely that the transition should be made from the birth of Christ to the last Antichrist, without notice of the long intervening Church-historical period. Probably the 1260 days, or periods, representing this long interval, are RECAPITULATED on a shorter scale analogically during the last Antichrist's short reign. They are equivalent to three and a half years, which, as half of the divine number seven, symbolize the seeming victory of the world over the Church. As they include the whole Gentile times of Jerusalem's being trodden of the Gentiles, they must be much longer than 1260 years; for, above several centuries more than 1260 years have elapsed since Jerusalem fell.

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
And the woman - The woman representing the church. See the notes at Rev 12:1. Fled - That is, she fled in the manner, and at the time, stated in Rev 12:14. John here evidently anticipates, by a summary statement, what he relates more in detail in Rev 12:14-17. He had referred Rev 12:2-5 to what occurred to the child in its persecutions, and he here alludes, in general, to what befell the true church as compelled to flee into obscurity and safety. Having briefly referred to this, the writer Rev 12:7-13 gives an account of the efforts of Satan consequent on the removal of the child to heaven. Into the wilderness - On the meaning of the word "wilderness" in the New Testament, see the notes on Mat 3:1. It means a desert place, a place where there are few or no inhabitants; a place, therefore, where one might be concealed and unknown - remote from the habitations and the observations of people. This would well represent the fact, that the true church became for a time obscure and unknown - as if it had fled away from the habitations of people, and had retired to the solitude and loneliness of a desert. Yet even there Rev 12:14, Rev 12:16 it would be mysteriously nourished, though seemingly driven out into wastes and solitudes, and having its abode among the rocks and sands of a desert. Where she hath a place prepared of God - A place where she might be safe, and might be kept alive. The meaning is, that during that time the true church, though obscure and almost unknown, would be the object of the divine protection and care - a beautiful representation of the church during the corruptions of the papacy and the darkness of the middle ages. That they should feed her - That they should "nourish" or "sustain" her - τρέφωσιν trephōsin - to wit, as specified in Rev 12:14, Rev 12:16. Those who were to do this, represented by the word "they," are not particularly mentioned, and the simple idea is that she would be nourished during that time. That is, stripped of the figure, the church during that time would find true friends, and would be kept alive. It is hardly necessary to say that this has, in fact, occurred in the darkest periods of the history of the church. A thousand two hundred and threescore days - That is, regarding these as prophetic days, in which a day denotes a year, twelve hundred and sixty years. The same period evidently is referred to in Rev 12:14, in the words "for a time, and times, and half a time." And the same period is undoubtedly referred to in Dan 7:25; "And they shall be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time." For a full consideration of the meaning of this language, and its application to the papacy, see the notes on Dan 7:25. The full investigation there made of the meaning and application of the language renders its consideration here unnecessary. I regard it here, as I do there, as referring to the proper continuance of the papal power, during which the true church would remain in comparative obscurity, as if driven into a desert. Compare the notes on Rev 11:2. The meaning here is, that during that period the true church would not become wholly extinct. It would have an existence upon the earth, but its final triumph would be reserved for the time when this great enemy should be finally overthrown. Compare the notes on Rev 12:14-17.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
a thousand (Rev 11:2); (Rev 11:3); (Rev 13:5); (Dan 9:27); (Dan 7:14). (See Scofield) - (Dan 7:14).

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
Of God (ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ) Lit., from God, the preposition marking the source from which the preparation came. For a similar use, see Jam 1:13, "tempted of God."

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
And the woman fled into the wilderness - This wilderness is undoubtedly on earth, where the woman also herself is now supposed to be. It betokens that part of the earth where, after having brought forth, she found a new abode. And this must be in Europe; as Asia and Afric were wholly in the hands of the Turks and Saracens; and in a part of it where the woman had not been before. In this wilderness, God had already prepared a place; that is, made it safe and convenient for her. The wilderness is, those countries of Europe which lie on this side the Danube; for the countries which lie beyond it had received Christianity before. That they may feed her - That the people of that place may provide all things needful for her. Twelve hundred and sixty days - So many prophetic days, which are not, as some have supposed, twelve hundred and sixty, but seven hundred and seventy - seven, common years. This Bengelius has shown at large in his German Introduction. These we may compute from the year 847 to 1524. So long the woman enjoyed a safe and convenient place in Europe, which was chiefly Bohemia; where she was fed, till God provided for her more plentifully at the Reformation.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
And the woman fled into the wilderness - The account of the woman's flying into the wilderness immediately follows that of her child being caught up to the throne of God, to denote the great and rapid increase of heresies in the Christian Church after the time that Christianity was made the religion of the empire. Where she hath a place prepared of God - See on Rev 12:14 (note).

¹¹ And [2532] I beheld [1492] another [243] beast [2342] coming up [305] out of [1537] the earth [1093]; and [2532] he had [2192] two [1417] horns [2768] like [3664] a lamb [721], and [2532] he spake [2980] as [5613] a dragon [1404].
¹² And [2532] he exerciseth [4160] all [3956] the power [1849] of the first [4413] beast [2342] before [1799] him [846], and [2532] causeth [4160] the earth [1093] and [2532] them which dwell [2730] therein [1722] [846] to [2443] worship [4352] the first [4413] beast [2342], whose [3739] [846] deadly [2288] wound [4127] was healed [2323].
¹³ And [2532] he doeth [4160] great [3173] wonders [4592], so [2532] that [2443] he maketh [4160] fire [4442] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] on [1519] the earth [1093] in the sight [1799] of men [444],
¹⁴ And [2532] deceiveth [4105] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093] by [1223] the means of those miracles [4592] which [3739] he [846] had power [1325] to do [4160] in the sight [1799] of the beast [2342]; saying [3004] to them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], that they should make [4160] an image [1504] to the beast [2342], which [3739] had [2192] the wound [4127] by a sword [3162], and [2532] did live [2198].
¹⁵ And [2532] he [846] had power [1325] to give [1325] life [4151] unto the image [1504] of the beast [2342], that [2443] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should [2980] both [2532] speak [2980], and [2532] cause [4160] that as many as [3745] would [302] [4352] not [3361] worship [4352] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should be killed [2443] [615].
¹⁶ And [2532] he causeth [4160] all [3956], both small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], [2532] rich [4145] and [2532] poor [4434], [2532] free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], to [2443] [846] receive [1325] a mark [5480] in [1909] their [846] right hand [1188] [5495], or [2228] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]:
¹⁷ And [2532] that no [3363] man [5100] might [1410] buy [59] or [2228] sell [4453], save he [1508] that had [2192] the mark [5480], or [2228] the name [3686] of the beast [2342], or [2228] the number [706] of his [846] name [3686].
¹⁸ Here [5602] is [2076] wisdom [4678]. Let him that hath [2192] understanding [3563] count [5585] the number [706] of the beast [2342]: for [1063] it is [2076] the number [706] of a man [444]; and [2532] his [846] number [706] is Six hundred threescore and six [5516].

¹ And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] I saw [1492] four [5064] angels [32] standing [2476] on [1909] the four [5064] corners [1137] of the earth [1093], holding [2902] the four [5064] winds [417] of the earth [1093], that [3363] the wind [417] should [4154] not [3363] blow [4154] on [1909] the earth [1093], nor [3383] on [1909] the sea [2281], nor [3383] on [1909] any [3956] tree [1186].
² And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] angel [32] ascending [305] [305] from [575] the east [395] [2246], having [2192] the seal [4973] of the living [2198] God [2316]: and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456] to the four [5064] angels [32], to whom [3739] it [846] was given [1325] to hurt [91] the earth [1093] and [2532] the sea [2281],
³ Saying [3004], Hurt [91] not [3361] the earth [1093], neither [3383] the sea [2281], nor [3383] the trees [1186], till [891] [3739] we have sealed [4972] [4972] the servants [1401] of our [2257] God [2316] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359].
⁴ And [2532] I heard [191] the number [706] of them which were sealed [4972]: and there were sealed [4972] an hundred [1540] and forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505] of [1537] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474].
⁵ Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Juda [2455] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Reuben [4502] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Gad [1045] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505].
⁶ Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Aser [768] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Nepthalim [3508] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Manasses [3128] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505].
⁷ Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Simeon [4826] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Levi [3017] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Issachar [2466] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505].
⁸ Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Zabulon [2194] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Joseph [2501] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505].

³⁵ And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
³⁶ Like as I pleaded [08199] with your fathers [01] in the wilderness [04057] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], so will I plead [08199] with you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].

⁴ And [2532] I heard [191] another [243] voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying [3004], Come [1831] out of [1537] her [846], my [3450] people [2992], that [3363] ye be [4790] not [3363] partakers [4790] of her [846] sins [266], and [2532] that [3363] ye receive [2983] not [3363] of [1537] her [846] plagues [4127].

⁶ And [2532] the woman [1135] fled [5343] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], where [3699] she hath [2192] a place [5117] prepared [2090] of [575] God [2316], that [2443] they should feed [5142] her [846] there [1563] a thousand [5507] two hundred [1250] and threescore [1835] days [2250].

²⁶ And whereas they commanded [0560] to leave [07662] the stump [06136] of the tree [0363] roots [08330]; thy kingdom [04437] shall be sure [07011] unto thee, after [04481] that thou shalt have known [03046] that the heavens [08065] do rule [07990].

¹⁴ And [2532] to the woman [1135] were given [1325] two [1417] wings [4420] of a great [3173] eagle [105], that [2443] she might fly [4072] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], into [1519] her [846] place [5117], where [3699] she is nourished [5142] for a time [1563] [2540], and [2532] times [2540], and [2532] half [2255] a time [2540], from [575] the face [4383] of the serpent [3789].
¹⁵ And [2532] the serpent [3789] cast [906] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] water [5204] as [5613] a flood [4215] after [3694] the woman [1135], that [2443] he might cause [4160] her [5026] to be carried away of the flood [4216].
¹⁶ And [2532] the earth [1093] helped [997] the woman [1135], and [2532] the earth [1093] opened [455] her [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] swallowed up [2666] the flood [4215] which [3739] the dragon [1404] cast [906] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750].
¹⁷ And [2532] the dragon [1404] was wroth [3710] with [1909] the woman [1135], and [2532] went [565] to make [4160] war [4171] with [3326] the remnant [3062] of her [846] seed [4690], which [3588] keep [5083] the commandments [1785] of God [2316], and [2532] have [2192] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].

² But [2532] the court [833] which [3588] is without [1855] [2081] the temple [3485] leave [1544] out [1854], and [2532] measure [3354] it [846] not [3361]; for [3754] it is given [1325] unto the Gentiles [1484]: and [2532] the holy [40] city [4172] shall they tread under foot [3961] forty [5062] and two [1417] months [3376].

²⁵ And he shall speak [04449] great words [04406] against [06655] the most High [05943], and shall wear out [01080] the saints [06922] of the most High [05946], and think [05452] to change [08133] times [02166] and laws [01882]: and they shall be given [03052] into his hand [03028] until [05705] a time [05732] and times [05732] and the dividing [06387] of time [05732].

¹⁶ And [2532] the earth [1093] helped [997] the woman [1135], and [2532] the earth [1093] opened [455] her [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] swallowed up [2666] the flood [4215] which [3739] the dragon [1404] cast [906] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750].

¹ [1161] In [1722] those [1565] days [2250] came [3854] John [2491] the Baptist [910], preaching [2784] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] of Judaea [2449],

⁷ And [2532] there was [1096] war [4171] in [1722] heaven [3772]: Michael [3413] and [2532] his [846] angels [32] fought [4170] against [2596] the dragon [1404]; and [2532] the dragon [1404] fought [4170] and [2532] his [846] angels [32],
⁸ And [2532] prevailed [2480] not [3756]; neither [3777] was [2147] their [846] place [5117] found [2147] any more [2089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
⁹ And [2532] the great [3173] dragon [1404] was cast out [906], that old [744] serpent [3789], called [2564] the Devil [1228], and [2532] Satan [4567], which [3588] deceiveth [4105] the whole [3650] world [3625]: he was cast out [906] into [1519] the earth [1093], and [2532] his [846] angels [32] were cast out [906] with [3326] him [846].
¹⁰ And [2532] I heard [191] a loud [3173] voice [5456] saying [3004] in [1722] heaven [3772], Now [737] is come [1096] salvation [4991], and [2532] strength [1411], and [2532] the kingdom [932] of our [2257] God [2316], and [2532] the power [1849] of his [846] Christ [5547]: for [3754] the accuser [2723] of our [2257] brethren [80] is cast down [2598], which [3588] accused [2725] them [846] before [1799] our [2257] God [2316] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571].
¹¹ And [2532] they [846] overcame [3528] him [846] by [1223] the blood [129] of the Lamb [721], and [2532] by [1223] the word [3056] of their [846] testimony [3141]; and [2532] they loved [25] not [3756] their [846] lives [5590] unto [891] the death [2288].
¹² Therefore [1223] [5124] rejoice [2165], ye heavens [3772], and [2532] ye that dwell [4637] in [1722] them [846]. Woe [3759] to the inhabiters [2730] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the sea [2281]! for [3754] the devil [1228] is come down [2597] unto [4314] you [5209], having [2192] great [3173] wrath [2372], because he knoweth [1492] that [3754] he hath [2192] but a short [3641] time [2540].
¹³ And [2532] when [3753] the dragon [1404] saw [1492] that [3754] he was cast [906] unto [1519] the earth [1093], he persecuted [1377] the woman [1135] which [3748] brought forth [5088] the man [730] child.

² And [2532] she being [2192] with [1722] child [1064] cried [2896], travailing in birth [5605], and [2532] pained [928] to be delivered [5088].
³ And [2532] there appeared [3700] another [243] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; and [2532] behold [2400] a great [3173] red [4450] dragon [1404], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768], and [2532] seven [2033] crowns [1238] upon [1909] his [846] heads [2776].
⁴ And [2532] his [846] tail [3769] drew [4951] the third part [5154] of the stars [792] of heaven [3772], and [2532] did cast [906] them [846] to [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] the dragon [1404] stood [2476] before [1799] the woman [1135] which [3588] was ready [3195] to be delivered [5088], for [2443] to devour [2719] her [846] child [5043] as soon as [3752] it was born [5088].
⁵ And [2532] she brought forth [5088] a man [730] child [5207], who [3739] was [3195] to rule [4165] all [3956] nations [1484] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] her [846] child [5043] was caught up [726] unto [4314] God [2316], and [2532] to his [846] throne [2362].

¹ And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]:

¹⁴ And there was given [03052] him dominion [07985], and glory [03367], and a kingdom [04437], that all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], should serve [06399] him: his dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], which shall not [03809] pass away [05709], and his kingdom [04437] that which shall not [03809] be destroyed [02255].

²⁷ And he shall confirm [01396] the covenant [01285] with many [07227] for one [0259] week [07620]: and in the midst [02677] of the week [07620] he shall cause the sacrifice [02077] and the oblation [04503] to cease [07673], and for the overspreading [03671] of abominations [08251] he shall make it desolate [08074], even until the consummation [03617], and that determined [02782] shall be poured [05413] upon the desolate [08074].

⁵ And [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] a mouth [4750] speaking [2980] great things [3173] and [2532] blasphemies [988]; and [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] unto him [846] to continue [4160] forty [5062] and two [1417] months [3376].

³ And [2532] I will give [1325] power unto my [3450] two [1417] witnesses [3144], and [2532] they shall prophesy [4395] a thousand [5507] two hundred [1250] and threescore [1835] days [2250], clothed in [4016] sackcloth [4526].

¹³ Let [3004] no man [3367] say [3004] when he is tempted [3985], [3754] I am tempted [3985] of [575] God [2316]: for [1063] God [2316] cannot be tempted [551] [2076] with evil [2556], neither [1161] tempteth [3985] he [846] [3985] any man [3762]:
