Revelation 12:5
_ _ man-child — Greek, “a son, a male.” On the deep significance of this term, see on Revelation 12:1, Revelation 12:2.
_ _ rule — Greek, “poimainein,” “tend as a shepherd”; (see on Revelation 2:27).
_ _ rod of iron — A rod is for long-continued obstinacy until they submit themselves to obedience [Bengel]: Revelation 2:27; Psalms 2:9, which passages prove the Lord Jesus to be meant. Any interpretation which ignores this must be wrong. The male son’s birth cannot be the origin of the Christian state (Christianity triumphing over heathenism under Constantine), which was not a divine child of the woman, but had many impure worldly elements. In a secondary sense, the ascending of the witnesses up to heaven answers to Christ’s own ascension, “caught up unto God, and unto His throne”: as also His ruling the nations with a rod of iron is to be shared in by believers (Revelation 2:27). What took place primarily in the case of the divine Son of the woman, shall take place also in the case of those who are one with Him, the sealed of Israel (Revelation 7:1-8), and the elect of all nations, about to be translated and to reign with Him over the earth at His appearing. |
Revelation 12:5
And she brought forth a man child — Even Christ, considered not in his person, but in his kingdom. In the ninth age, many nations with their princes were added to the Christian church. Who was to rule all nations — When his time is come. And her child — Which was already in heaven, as were the woman and the dragon. Was caught up to God — Taken utterly out of his reach. |
Revelation 12:5
(10) And she brought forth a man (11) child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
(10) The second history of this Church delivered of child: in which first the consideration of the child born, and of the mother, is described in two verses (Revelation 12:6): secondly the battle of the dragon against the young child, and the victory obtained against him in the three verses following (Revelation 12:7-9): last of all is sung a song of victory, to (Revelation 12:10-12). Now John in consideration of the child born, notes two things: for he describes him, and his station or place in this verse.
(11) That is Christ the head of the Church joined with his Church (the beginning root and foundation of which is the same Christ) endued with kingly power and taken up into heaven out of the jaws of Satan (who as a serpent did bite him on the cross) that sitting on the heavenly throne, he might reign over all. |
