Revelation 12:6 → Exodus 16:32

The woman fleeing into the wilderness "where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days" echoes the Exodus wilderness tradition where God sustained Israel with manna (Exod 16) and water from the rock. The verb "nourished" (trephōsin) specifically recalls God's provision of food. The wilderness — typically a place of danger and deprivation — becomes a place of divine protection and provision, just as it was for Israel during the Exodus. The 1,260 days (= 3.5 years) parallels the duration of Israel's wilderness journey as a period of divinely bounded testing. The New Exodus typology is clear: as God sustained Israel in the wilderness between Egypt and Canaan, so God sustains the church in the wilderness between Christ's ascension and return. The wilderness is paradoxically the safest place for God's people, because there they depend entirely on divine provision.
