How do we know Jesus is the promised seed in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the promised seed through fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the imagery of the woman in Revelation.

In Revelation 12, the imagery of the woman giving birth to a male child who is to rule with a rod of iron symbolizes Jesus Christ as the promised seed foretold in the Old Testament. The fulfillment of prophecies, such as those found in Micah and Isaiah, affirm His birth in Bethlehem, linking Him to the righteous line of David. This imagery not only illustrates His birth but also highlights His role as the ultimate redeemer who would crush Satan's head, as prophesied in Genesis 3:15. Hence, through both symbolic language and direct scriptural fulfillment, we recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of this divine promise.
