Who Is The Seed Of The Woman?

December 2004

Genesis 3:15 - God Promises that Jesus Christ the redeemer will come.
…and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

…It – “Her Seed, Jesus Christ”
Shall – “Absolutely” - A promise
Bruise – “To overwhelm: break, bruise, injure [destroy]”
Thy – “The adversary, the devil, Satan”
Head – Refers to a permanent or fatal injury –– “Christ shall utterly crush and eternally destroy Satan.” –– (Dakes Bible – Gen 3:15)

And – This is a figure of speech emphasizing each individual point separately when many "and's" are used together.
Thou – “Satan”
Shalt – (still future at this time)
Bruise – injure
His – Jesus Christ’s
Heel – refers to a temporary injury – the suffering of Christ (which had not yet happened at this time) - and the Glory of his resurrection and ascension into heaven to sit at the right hand of God!

Had Satan known that Jesus Christ would be raised from the dead, he would not have crucified him

Now we have eternal life available through the gift of Holy Spirit, the seed in us that comes from God!
