Yes — the child caught up in Revelation 12:5 is Christ, and the catching up to God and His throne is His Ascension.
Revelation 12:5 describes the man-child being caught up to God and His throne. Les Feldick identifies that child as the Christ and says the catching up is the Ascension recorded in Acts 1. The dragon had tried to devour the child at birth, but He was taken safely to the Father's throne. This event also fits the chapter's larger movement from Christ's birth and ascension to Israel's future Tribulation flight.
Revelation 12:5 — This verse explicitly states that the woman's child was caught up unto God and to His throne, making it the direct answer to the question.
Revelation 12:5 says, "And she brought forth a 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." Immediately preceding this, the text describes a great red dragon who "stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born" (Revelation 12:4). Then the chapter records that "the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days" (Revelation 12:6). Elsewhere, the Old Testament describes "one like the Son of man" brought before the Ancient of Days, and "there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom" that will not be destroyed (Daniel 7:13-14). The angel also told Mary that her Son would receive "the throne of his father David" and "shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever" (Luke 1:32-33).
Les Feldick treats Revelation 12 as a chapter full of symbolisms (Clip 0). He identifies the woman as the nation of Israel and the man-child as the Christ. He says, "She the nation of Israel brought forth a man child, the Christ, who was to rule all nations... and her child, that is the Son, the Christ, was caught up unto God, that is at his ascension of course in Acts chapter 1, and to His throne" (Clip 1). He repeats that the catching up was the Ascension in Clip 2 and Clip 6. The dragon, according to Les, is Satan, who stood ready to devour the child the moment He was born, and he points out that this was attempted through Herod's decree to kill the boy babies under two years old (Clips 1, 3). Les then explains that after the Ascension the chapter leaps back to the midpoint of the Tribulation: the woman — Israel — flees into the wilderness where God has a place prepared and feeds her for 1,260 days (Clips 1, 2, 6). He connects the phrase "rule all nations" with the promise that the Son will receive the throne of David and with Daniel 7, where the Son of Man is brought before the Ancient of Days to receive an everlasting kingdom (Clips 4, 5, 7).
Revelation 12:5 describes a man child who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and this is the One.who is caught up to God's throne. Les Feldick identifies the woman as the nation of Israel and the man-child as the Christ (Clips 1, 2). The child's destiny to rule is confirmed by the angel's promise that the Son would be given the throne of David and reign over the house of Jacob forever (Luke 1:32-33; Clip 5).
Les is explicit: this is the Ascension of Christ, the event recorded in Acts chapter 1 (Clip 1). After the nation of Israel brought forth the Messiah, her child was taken up to God and to His throne. He says of the verse, "That was the Ascension" (Clip 2). He then points out that the very next verse leaps ahead to the woman fleeing into the wilderness (Clip 6).
Revelation 12:4 says the dragon stood before the woman ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Les explains that Satan was behind this attempt, and in history it was carried out by Herod's decree to kill all the boy babies under two years old in order to stop God's plan of redemption (Clips 1, 3). The child, however, was caught up to God and His throne, so the plan of redemption was not stopped.
Les points out that after the Ascension in verse 5, verse 6 leaps back to the midpoint of the Tribulation. The woman — the nation of Israel — flees into the wilderness (the mountains Jesus spoke of) where she has a place prepared by God, and the Godhead feeds her for 1,260 days (Clips 1, 2, 6). So the catching up is part of a chapter that moves from Christ's birth and ascension to the future Tribulation protection of Israel.
The child was caught up "to His throne," and Revelation 12:5 says He is the One who will rule all nations with a rod of iron. Les connects this to Daniel 7, where the Son of Man comes before the Ancient of Days to receive dominion, glory, and a kingdom that will not pass away (Clips 4, 7). That kingdom is what Christ will set up when He returns to destroy the Gentile empires and rule as King of kings (Clip 7).
Revelation 12 Is Symbolic
Les opens Revelation 12 by calling it a chapter full of symbolisms, setting the stage for interpreting the woman, the dragon, and the man-child symbolically.
The Man-Child Is Christ and the Catching Up Is the Ascension
Les identifies the nation of Israel as the woman who brought forth Christ, the man-child who will rule all nations; her child was caught up to God and His throne at His Ascension in Acts 1.
The Ascension Leads to Israel's 1,260-Day Flight
Les repeats that the child was caught up to God at the Ascension, then immediately connects verse 6 to Israel fleeing to the wilderness for 1,260 days.
The Dragon Tried to Devour the Child at His Birth
Les explains the red dragon stood ready to devour the child as soon as He was born, showing Satan's opposition to the newborn King.
The Son of Man Receives Dominion
Les presents God the Son being brought before the Ancient of Days to receive dominion, showing that the man-child is the One who will rule.
The Promised Son of David
Les points to the angel's promise that Mary's Son will receive the throne of David and reign over the house of Jacob forever, matching the man-child's destiny.
From the Ascension to the Tribulation Midpoint
Les shows that verse 5 records the Ascension, then verse 6 leaps ahead to the midpoint of the Tribulation when the woman flees into the wilderness for 1,260 days.
The Son Receives an Everlasting Kingdom
Les connects Daniel 7 to the Son coming before the Father as He is about to return to defeat the Gentile empires and set up His eternal kingdom.
Revelation 12:4: And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
This verse shows the dragon's intent to devour the child as soon as it was born, providing the backdrop for the child being caught up.
Revelation 12:5: And she brought forth a 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.
This is the verse at the heart of the question: the woman's child is caught up to God and His throne.
Revelation 12:6: And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Immediately after the catching up, the woman flees into the wilderness where God feeds her for 1,260 days.
Daniel 7:14: And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
This verse shows the Son receiving dominion and an everlasting kingdom, matching the man-child's destiny to rule all nations.
Luke 1:32-33: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
This records the angel's promise that Mary's Son will receive David's throne and reign forever, identifying the man-child as Israel's promised King.
Yes. Les Feldick identifies the man-child as the Christ, and Revelation 12:5 says the woman brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. The same child was caught up to God and to His throne, which is Christ's Ascension.
It refers to Christ's Ascension, when He was taken up to the Father after His resurrection. Les says this is the ascension of Christ recorded in Acts chapter 1, and it is the fulfillment of Revelation 12:5.
The dragon, Satan, stood before the woman ready to devour her child as soon as it was born. Les explains that Satan tried to stop God's plan of redemption through Herod's decree to kill the boy babies under two years old.
The chapter leaps to the Tribulation period. The woman flees into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God and is fed for 1,260 days, or three and a half years.
