Compare all
12 Therefore arejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! bWoe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, cbecause he knows that he has a short time.”  

The Woman Persecuted

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted athe woman who gave birth to the male Child.  
14 aBut the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, bthat she might fly cinto the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished dfor a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.  
15 So the serpent aspewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.  
16 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.
17 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 Jesus1 Christ.

Revelation 12:14-17

We can now reach some conclusions regarding this. The first is of course that a part of the church is being taken to a place identified as "her place in the wilderness." This is clearly a place of safety for her and considering what it says in verse 17, part of the church is not in the same place but is being persecuted by the dragon because of religious convictions. So clearly there is a geographical separation that occurs in which one part of the church is in one area of the earth and the rest of the church is scattered throughout the rest of the earth. This segregation continues for a time, a times and a half of time and the fleeing is just as literal as the fleeing of the woman earlier in the chapter.
