What is the beginning of the scarlet line of Scripture?
The beginning of the scarlet line of Scripture is Genesis 3:15, where God tells Satan He will put enmity between Satan and the woman, and between his seed and her seed. The woman's seed will bruise Satan's head, though Satan will bruise His heel, introducing the promised seed through the female side.
Les teaches that an old preacher called Genesis 3:15 the beginning of the scarlet line of Scripture. In that verse, God is speaking to Satan, promising enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed. Les explains that the seed of the woman would bruise Satan's head when Christ finished the work of the cross, defeating Satan and making him powerless; Satan would bruise His heel by making Him suffer. This is the beginning of the promise that the seed would come through the female side, not from Adam, and Les says it is followed all the way through Scripture, later connecting it to the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12.
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.
