Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Wing:

is used of birds, Mat 23:37; Luk 13:34; symbolically in Rev 12:14, RV, "the two wings of the great eagle" (AV, "two wings of a great eagle"), suggesting the definiteness of the action, the "wings" indicating rapidity and protection, an allusion, perhaps, to Exd 19:4; Deu 32:11, 12; of the "living creatures" in a vision, Rev 4:8; 9:9. Cp. pterugion, "a pinnacle."
