"And the Woman fled into the Wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand, two hundred and threescore days."

          The flight of the Woman ISREAL into the Wilderness to escape from the Antichrist. John is not dealing here with the Church.

                   The Woman and her Child has to account for the Dragon's wrath against her because he didn't succeed in destroying her Child (Jesus Christ) when He was born.
