If she is not the woman there then who?
And how will you explain the child bore, the suns, moon and stars with the verses of the Bible?

You've heard the term "scripture interprets scripture?" Well, God gives us the answer to who the woman of Rev.12 is by the use of the symbols of the sun, moon and twelve stars. By comparing the symbols of Rev.12:1 with Gen.37:9-10, we are then allowing scripture to interpret scripture:
"Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
After Joseph tells his dream, Jacob then identifies who the sun, moon and eleven stars represent, as revealed below:
When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
Sun = Jacob
Moon = Wife/wives
Eleven Stars = Eleven of Jacobs son's with Joseph being number twelve
Therefore, the woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and wearing a crown of twelve stars, is symbolic representing the nation Israel as a whole. It is the remnant of Israel who will flee out into the wilderness and will be cared for by God during that last 3 1/2 years.
Unbelieving Israel gives birth a Male Child, which is a collective name for the 144,000 who will come out Israel (gives birth to) who will recognize Jesus as their Messiah. These are those who will have been sealed in Rev.7:1-8 and are seen again in Rev.14:1-5 after they have been caught up and changed into their immortal and glorified bodies.
Just fyi, Jesus does not fit the criteria of the Male Child, as the Male child will be caught up to God and His throne out of the reach of Satan, where Jesus was crucified, buried, resurrected and later ascended.
