Q
Can you please explain the following verse regarding God’s prophesy about Eve in Genesis 3:15 to me please?
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
A
This is the first promise of the Messiah, saying that an offspring of the woman’s would be the serpent’s undoing.
From our knowledge of human reproduction we can see a hint of the virgin birth here, as the seed is normally a male’s contribution to reproduction, the woman’s being the egg. Although the Messiah would not escape uninjured from the battle, the serpent would suffer a fatal blow.
