The Woman and the Snake

Prophesy

we are going to take the next few weeks looking at prophesy

prophesy is God telling us what He is going to do

this case its God himself telling us

other cases he tells us trough a spokes person

satans hatred

this starts out with satans hatred for God

the battle starts in heaven, when lucifer is one of the top angels, rebells

the battle starts in heaven, when lucifer is one of the top angels, rebels

he convinces 1/3rd of the angels to join him in this rebellion

then satan entered in the Garden of Eden

into a snake and tempted Eve to eat of the tree that she was forbidden to eat from

satan hoping to destroy Gods top creation, humans

lets read

Genesis 3:1–15 KJV 1900

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 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.

1-15

the movie the Passion of the Christ opening scene Jesus steps on the snakes head

this verse is ....

He will strike you on the head ....Jesus to give satan a fatal blow

satan shall bruise thy heel Satan will wound Jesus heel

what dos this mean?

The Cross

for a time being it looks like satan is going to win

satan kills Jesus, God the Son with a roman death penalty

but little does he know what satan did was part of God the Fathers redemption plan

in the middle of God cursing creation for the fall of man

there is Grace God giving us undeserved favor

and he hints at the Cross of Jesus

And a redeemer

Because Adam sinned we inherited the curse

and in a need of a redeemer

Jesus died to free us from the curse

but by faith we need to recieve the free gift of salvation

John 3:16 KJV 1900

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
