What would the seed of the woman accomplish according to Genesis 3:15?

According to Genesis 3:15, the seed of the woman would crush the head of the servant. This was the promised line of redemption, the scarlet thread of salvation that starts there and carries all the way through Scripture. It is the beginning of that promise.

Les explains that Genesis 3:15 introduces the seed of the woman, and that this seed would crush the head of the servant. He calls this the promised line of redemption, or the scarlet thread of salvation, which begins in Genesis 3:15 and carries all the way through Scripture. The context also states that Jesus Christ was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, linking the Genesis promise to the coming Redeemer. Les also stresses that Paul is uniquely the Apostle of the Gentiles, and that we must go to him for our basic doctrines.

Genesis 3:15

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.
