729. Verse 6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days. 6. "And the woman fled into the wilderness," signifies the church among a few, because with those who are not in good, and consequently not in truths (n. 739); "where she hath a place prepared by God," signifies its state, that in the meantime provision may be made for it among more (n. 731); "that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days," signifies until it grows to fullness (n. 732).
