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.
