Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

An adventurous couple is at the core of this book. The story is sparse and the travel is long but told in a way that doesn't make you feel like there is no end. Walking and living is Miriam and her partner's life and it was an enjoyable ride to be on the 'road' in the wilderness for a while. Good company (in my opinion). For would-be and sofa venturers. Easy to read. Sad to say goodbye to.A lot of names of NZ fauna and flora, which being from the other side of the globe I was not familiar with. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. … Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 12:6, 13-17

From the events recorded in Genesis to the times depicted in the book of Revelation, God has always protected His people, and their accounts are numerous.

All accounts expressing the faithfulness of His people are based on the same truth that God loves His children and protects them from evil. Experiments'/Working out through living a life in the `wild', trying different things. Repeated instances of how sparked and mutual interest found them where they were going to end up for a while or helping them; how humans in passing are mostly not out to hurt you and in passing probably won't however you and they do or don't align; making a path -- drawing on these -- rather than just going along one; some instances of things being a little more demanding in one way or another than they'd perhaps prefer as they were working it out; a vegetarians inner conflict with killing and eating meat. The book was interesting but at times felt repetitive. I guess that's what life is like in the wilderness. Camping, hunting, cooking, eating and walking.

In fact, there is no King. God is her son, remember? Mary is the ruling monarch in her own right, much like Queen Elizabeth in today’s world.

First let us consider who the rest of her offspring are. Her firstborn was the male Child, Jesus Christ the Messiah. He is the firstborn among many brethren. The rest of Israel’s offspring are: 1) those who keep the commandments of God, and 2) those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Well, here are the two witnesses again. The house of Judah, i.e., the Jews, keep the commandments of God, and the house of Ephraim, i.e., the Gentiles who became the Christians, have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Judah and Ephraim are of course considered the offspring of Israel. Strong's 3789: Probably from optanomai; a snake, figuratively, an artful malicious person, especially Satan.
