What did God reveal to Satan after man fell about the seed of the woman?
God revealed to Satan that even though man had fallen, the day was coming when the seed of the woman would deal with the powers of Satan, defeat them, and crush them. This was at the cross as far as the potential, though Satan remains the god of this world until Christ’s enemies are made His footstool.
Les explains that as soon as God revealed to Satan that man had fallen, He revealed that the day was coming when the seed of the woman would deal with the powers of Satan, defeat them, and crush them. That crushing was at the cross as far as the potential. Yet even after Christ was raised from the dead victoriously over a defeated Satan, Satan is still the god of this world, still destroying lives, and not yet under Christ’s feet. Les points to the verse that Christ is to sit at the Father’s right hand until His enemies are made His footstool, and then turns to Hebrews chapter 1, where Christ has accomplished the work of the cross and risen from the dead.
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.
