What did the seed of the woman do to Satan's head, and when?
The seed of the woman, Christ, bruised Satan's head, a decisive defeat accomplished at the cross. Genesis 3:15 promised enmity between Satan and the woman's seed, identifying Christ. That same prophecy says Satan would bruise the Redeemer's heel, fulfilled through Christ's suffering at Calvary.
Les explains from Genesis 3 that after Adam and Eve's fall, God made a covenant with Adam that included the curse but also the promise of a Redeemer. In verse 15, God addresses Satan and puts enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed. Les identifies the woman's seed as Christ, so there would be a running battle between Satan and Christ. The seed of the woman would bruise Satan's head, which He did at the cross. Satan would bruise His heel, which Satan accomplished when he caused the suffering of Christ at Calvary. From this promise of a Redeemer through the woman, Les builds the Abrahamic covenant, showing that the seed of the woman would come through Abraham's 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.
