The Child is Jesus Christ
Commentators overwhelmingly identify the "man child" as Jesus Christ. The description of one who will "rule all the nations with a rod of iron" is a direct reference to the Messianic prophecy in Psalm 2:9. His being "caught up unto God, and unto his throne" is seen as a clear depiction of Christ's ascension and enthronement, signifying his divine authority and victory.
