5 "And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. But her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne..."
All the writers I read on this chapter agree that this male child referenced above that the woman gives birth to is Jesus Christ. The woman, the mother of the male child, is seen as either the country of Israel or the Mary the mother of Christ or possibly symbolic of both.
I was confused at first when the verse said the child was snatched away, as if something unintended had happened, but Ellicott's commentary at biblehub.com explains that Christ was removed from proximity to Satan and returned to heaven to be with God: "The efforts of the evil one to destroy are thwarted; the child is
snatched away and placed out of the range of the dragon’s power. The
prince of this world might instigate Israel to take Jesus Christ and
with wicked hands crucify and kill Him, but the eternal divine life of
Him who had power to lay down His life and take it again, and whose
years were for ever and ever, was beyond the reach of every hostile
power; and after death and resurrection, Christ ascended up where He was
before."
A Prayer for Salvation from Christ:
Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and for answering my prayer.
