What does God say in Genesis 3:15 about enmity between Satan and the woman?
In Genesis 3:15 God declares He will put enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed. The woman's seed is Christ, so a running battle exists between Satan and Christ; the woman's seed bruises Satan's head, while Satan bruises His heel.
Les teaches that Genesis 3:15 is in the middle of God's covenant with Adam after the fall, where the curse and its ramifications are pronounced. God tells Satan He will put enmity between him and the woman, and between his seed and her seed. Les identifies the woman's seed as Christ, so there is a running battle between Satan and Christ. The seed of the woman would bruise Satan's head, which was accomplished at the cross, while Satan would bruise his heel, which was accomplished when Satan caused Christ's suffering at Calvary. From this promise of a Redeemer through the woman, Les connects the Abrahamic covenant and the coming offspring.
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.
