And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:16
Q: What might be that "earth" that opened her mouth and protected the woman near the end of the 1260 days (years)?
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:11
A: Possibly the New World of America, which many fled to for religious freedom in the latter part of the 1260 years.
