What you posted seems to be an explanation of "nourish"?

Mike, there is no they, there is only HE.

It doesn't mean THEY NOURISH, it means TO NOURISH.

[Evang.Benincasa]

καί ὁ γυνή φεύγω εἰς ὁ ἔρημος ὅπου ἔχω ἐκεῖ τόπος ἑτοιμάζω ἀπό ὁ θεός ἵνα ἐκεῖ τρέφω αὐτός ἡμέρα χίλιοι διακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα

[Evang.Benincasa]

The Byzantine Text has ἐκτρέφωσιν the inflection "they should be nautring."

Καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἔφυγεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον ἡτοιμασμένον ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα ἐκεῖ ἐκτρέφωσιν αὐτὴν ἡμέρας χιλίας διακοσίας ἑξήκοντα.

[Evang.Benincasa]

καὶ ἐδόθησαν τῇ γυναικὶ αἱ δύο πτέρυγες τοῦ ἀετοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ἵνα πέτηται εἰς τὴν ἔρημον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ καιρὸν καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ὄφεως.

[Evang.Benincasa]

Revelation: Two Horizons New Testament Commentary [THNTC]
By John Christopher Thomas, Frank D. Macchia. Found on page 220 correctly states that τρέφεται can be interpreted as "HE MIGHT NOURISH" owing to the indefinite character of the construction.

God is one, it's His Eagle Wings, and if you aren't getting fed by Him, you aint being fed at all.

I was asking your take on what the verse is referencing. Yes, Israel is nourished 1260 days, protected from the attacks of the dragon. I don't think that was in question. My question to you had to do with who and how, according to your understanding? And especially where the 1260 days 3.5 years 42 months etc fit into the actual events of Jerusalem's destruction?

I had many other questions but I think you skipped a lot of them?

[Esaias]

Is the verb in question in the third person plural or singular? And is it active or passive voice?

Third person singular passive voice.

[Evang.Benincasa]

Hence the translators chose to translate τρέφεται different ways, they, he, she, or just to nourish.
