AE 759- "the wings of an eagle"

And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness into her place,
where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
(Rev. 12:14)

AE 759 [5]
... what is signified by "the wings of an eagle," namely,
the understanding of truth;
and as "the woman" means the New Jerusalem,
therefore the wings being given to her signifies
that the understanding of truth was given, and will be given,
to those who will be of that church.
