729. Verse 6. 11 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."

"And the woman fled into the wilderness," signifies the church among a few, because with those who are not in good, and therefore not in truths; "where she hath a place prepared by God," signifies its state, that in the meantime provision may be made for it among many; "that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days," signifies until it grows to fulness.
