Revelation 12:5
“And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.”
I agree with Dr. J. Vernon McGee and many others that the “male child” of this verse is Jesus Christ, who will indeed “rule all the nations.”
Recorded in this verse is a birth that took place 2000 years ago. He, the Lamb of God, was “caught up to God” after His Ascension and He is the One who has been opening the “seals” we have seen on the “scroll” in Chapters 5 through 8.
The Truth
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6)
