Who Is the Woman Nourished in the Wilderness in Revelation 12?

This interpretation identifies the woman in Revelation 12 as Judah and compares her to the Virgin Mary. It connects her flight into the wilderness with Rome’s destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, placing the wilderness in the interior of the land of Ham, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. The passage about being nourished “from the face of the serpent” is understood to mean that Judah depended on her oppressor for food and shelter during her time in the wilderness. That dependence, according to this interpretation, would last until the appointed period of tribulation was complete. The interpretation draws on Revelation 12:14 in the King James Version.
