What is the promise God makes in Genesis 3:15 about Satan and Christ?
God promised enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed. Scripture identifies the woman's seed as Christ, so the promise is an ongoing conflict between Satan and Christ, beginning immediately and continuing as Satan attempts to disrupt God's program.
Les teaches that in Genesis 3:15 God is speaking to Satan, who precipitated the fall, and says He will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. Galatians tells us the seed of the woman is Christ. Therefore, the verse promises a running battle between Satan and Jesus Christ, and it is seen from that moment on. Les explains that as soon as Satan understands God's particular program, he comes in and tries to disrupt it. For example, as soon as God made the covenant with Abraham, Satan began a process running over 4,000 years to destroy the nation of Israel, because God promised that everything would be fulfilled through that little nation. If Satan could destroy the Jew, he would thwart God's plan for the ages. So everything begins right here, this running battle.
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.
