What does 'the seed of the woman' mean in the Bible?
The seed of the woman is a reference to Jesus Christ, the promised One from Genesis chapter 3. This seed is tied to the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis chapter 12, through whom all nations would be blessed. He would go to the cross, be raised from the dead, and become the epitome of our salvation experience.
Les teaches that whenever you see the term 'the seed of the woman' in one form or another, it is always a reference to Jesus Christ, the One who was promised way back in Genesis chapter 3. He connects this to the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis chapter 12, that through that man all the nations of the world would be blessed. That blessing comes through the seed of the woman, who would go to the cross, be raised from the dead, and become the very epitome of our salvation experience. Les also notes that the phrase 'to thy seed' can refer to the seed of Abraham as well as the seed of the woman, but ultimately it points to Christ.
