2 interpatiions

1. The woman is Israel & Jesus is the son

2. The woman is the church & Jesus is the son

I had always went for #1, but Irenaeus a disciple of Polycarp who was a disciple of the Apostle John(who wrote revelation) says #2 is correct

----------

Both are wrong. We must go according to the written word.

The women about to give birth is awaited by the beast with ten horns and seven heads the one that is yet to come (666), therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE that this male son caught up to GOD and his throne be Jesus.

Revelation 12

3 -- Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems.

4 -- Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth.



----------
Your confusing symbols... the dragon is satan as is plainly stated in verse 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan

And only one person fits the man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Verse 11 makes it clear And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

As I stated earlier I'll trust what men who knew John the Apostle and what they were taught by him not a private interpretation
