How does the seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15 come through Israel?
The seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15 advances through the Jewish patriarchs and the nation of Israel. This promised seed is Christ, and He was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, fulfilling God's covenant promises to Israel.
Les explains that the seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15 is going to come right on up through the Jewish patriarchs and through the little nation of Israel. All the covenant promises are based on God's promise of the coming of the seed of the woman, which is Christ. In Romans, Paul writes concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. That is why He is the God-man. The same promised seed is traced through Scripture, and the New Testament identifies Him as the Son of God declared with power.
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.
